oh baby!

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. I am 12 weeks and due August 7. That is the date that they are sticking with. My baby looks fine. The person who did the ultrasound was not very personable and didn't really tell us anything so i had to ask the doctor all the questions. We have 3 pictures of the baby. in one it is looking down and in another one it looking straight forward and you can see the whole face. It is amazing what they can do with those machines! I have gained 3 pounds in my first trimester. which is very good i was told.

My friend who is due a month before me has bought clothes and has already painted the nursery. I am no were near that point. i really didn't think that i would be there until much later on...but now that i have the pictures of our baby on our fridge i want to pick out the nursery colors and do it all! I was going to wait to see if i was going to have a boy or a girl, but i think i might do a neutral theme. it is just hard thinking of what i want to do. i mean they are going to be in the entry way so it will be something that has to be age appropriate till they are at least 3. that doesn't seem to hard.

Andy is convinced that we have to buy a new house. he has been looking online and driving me nuts! my dad is going to build us baby gates to section off rooms, since buying one to fit our two large openings would cost a lot more money.

i am thinking browns and greens for the nursery or an animal type room. not sure. i go back and forth. i know that i have plenty of time...but the way i work it would be 2 weeks before the baby is born and i am still putting the crib together!
