Pregnacy is scheduled to last for 40 weeks, and TODAY makes 20! We're halfway there!
This weekend I have finished cleaning out the storage room that will be the nursery! Now I just have to take down the border, clean the walls, use some Kilz to make them white, and get to designing my paint scheme.
We got to register today! That was fun, mostly because they gave me a lazer gun to play with!
That's all for now.

It's a GIRL!!!!!
So yes, the page has changed from gender-neutral green to a girly-girl pink! We had an ultrasound on Thursday and are sure that the little one growing inside Anny is a girl!
Here is an ultrasound pic that we got. It's only her head, but we didn't get any good full body shots to bring home.
When the baby was not being cooperative on getting a full spine shot, I declared that it must be a girl. The asked if we wanted to know, since she had already seen.
They were a little (by which I mean TINY) bit concerned because of a dark spot on the heart in the pictures that they could get. The doctor thinks it is probably just a shadow, but we're going back in three weeks and hoping to get a better picture of her heart. I'm not worried, so you should not either.
Exciting news!

"Feeling" Pregnant
Despite the fact that I have been especially tired for three months or that I am beginning to watch my belly grow, I don't have all the terrible "symptoms" of being pregnant. No real morning sickness - I was just nauseas around strong smells; I have always been a little constipated, but now it is a little bit worse; and aches and pains that are easily understandable since the cold weather and dark winter have kept Rob and I from our regular walks. But recently something has started that I have not heard of anyone else ever mention as a "side effect" of pregnancy; when I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I cannot get back to sleep. Last night was the worst, I woke up at 2 a.m. and didn't fall back to sleep until 4 or 4:30 after having gotten up and watched part of an old 80s movie in the recliner and then I only slept for 30 minutes or so at a time presumably because the TV was still on and it was waking me up.
After how much Rob and I went through to actually become pregnant, the little discomforts have seemed insignificant and at times almost enjoyable. It is much more exciting to talk about a sore back and needing to eat more bran than it is to discuss the bruises on my thighs and arms from all the needles.

Boot Camp for New Dads!
http://www.bcnd.org/index.php
Boot Camp for New Dads sounds like fun! There's lots of stuff out there for the ladies that are actually with child, but what about those of us in this that are men! I have two fathering books, but the idea of getting info from guys who are currently going through the craziness of the first three months of baby sounds like a much better time then reading!
There are not any Boot Camps around here. Oh well. Maybe I should call them and start a chapter somewhere close?
For now, I'm going back to my books.
