I can tell that I am getting bigger, I have a hard time rolling out of bed! hahaha! This is funny stuff, really. I have noticed a big difference in the last week.
As far as what we have done for the nursery. We bought the paint and we are getting started on that this week! we are super excited to get the room going. I very ready to nest!
We have picked out the crib we are getting! I am so super excited.
we are going with my parents this weekend to order it, It's going to take about 8 weeks for us to get it, but it is so worth the wait. I here is a picture of what it looks like!
We bought sage green and brown sheets, Sage green bumper, and dust ruffle. I can not wait to see what it all looks like together.The paint matches the bedding. :) Things are starting to come together. And we have a Shower date! January 9th, 2010!! So we are sending out save the dates because its going to be crazy for people around the holidays! On the holiday note, I CANT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS! I love the season! for some reason I am way more excited this year then ever! maybe im just in a great mood!! Not to sure! On another note! the baby is moving around alot. I can tell that he is getting so much bigger because I can feel him all over my belly, not just in one spot! The other night I was on the couch watching TV, Ryan came and put his head on my belly looking up at me. All of a sudden, a BIG wham! He was punched in the face! Ryan's eyes got big, and asked me if i did that! HAHAH, I cant make him do it!! Since then ryan has really been warming up to the belly touching and he actually talked to the baby for the first time, on his own! It was really cute! He makes my heart melt!

By this week, your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 9.2 inches. Remember, that is only from the top of his head to his bottom and does not include his leg measurements! Your baby weighs almost 2 pounds and is beginning to put on weight. Your uterus is about 2.5 inches above your bellybutton and you will continue to grow approximately 1 cm each week. If you have been eating a well-balanced diet, you probably have gained about 16-22 pounds so far. Because your baby has moved further up, you may get occasional pain underneath your ribs. After a month of having his eyelids sealed shut, your baby begins to open his eyes again this week. Your baby's eyes are almost completely developed. Your baby's eyes are blue in the womb and may change colors later in life. This is true for all races because the pupils do not have their final color until a few months after birth. However, some babies are born with darker or lighter shades of blue. Your growing baby will continue to put on layers of fat until he is born. He is still lean at this point of the pregnancy though. By the time your baby is born, he will assume the typical newborn's plumpness. Your baby's skin will still be wrinkled and red, but the fat continues to fill the skin out. Finger and toe nails continue to grow. Blood vessels start to develop in the lungs to prepare the baby for life outside the uterus. Your baby's blood circulation is completely functional. The umbilical cord system continues to grow and thicken as blood travels with considerable force through the body to nurture the baby. The placenta is now almost equal in size to the baby. Even though it is still way too soon for your baby to be born yet, the chance of survival without severe abnormalities is now 70% provided it is born in a hospital.
