A Nursery in Progress

Here is a mini project board that I put together for Miles modern chocolate and lime green nursery!

Pregnant with a Prince: 19 weeks!

Friends, It’s official, We’re having a baby boy! I am elated! I’ll tell you, I swore it was a girl all along but I could not be happier with our little prince.

I am on cloud nine just thinking about our sweet baby boy…Miles Edward.

18 weeks

It's hard to believe that I am only 2 weeks away from being half way through my pregnancy, Gosh time flies! Week 18 has gotten off to a great start. Why, do you ask? Well, I felt the baby move for the first time! It was literally like butterfly’s or bubbles floating across my abdomen. The first time I felt it I was in disbelief that it was actually the baby but a few hours later, I felt it again! This time it felt like pop corn popping in my belly. I know that it will be awhile longer before baby's kicks and punches can be felt from the outside, but I sure wish Mason could feel them now too.


Baby changes this week:
Baby's become amazingly mobile, passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around It's nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he/she is born. If we're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. However, If we're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound. (Lets pray that this doesn't happen next week at our gender discovery ultrasound!)

17 weeks

Most everyone so far thinks the baby is a girl, but I'm anxious to hear what the rest of you think. I’ve included a poll in this weeks post and I’ll keep it up until we find out, so vote!





Baby changes this week:
Baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. He/She can move It's joints, and It's sweat glands are starting to develop. Baby is now covered with a downy layer of lanugo, which swirls in fingerprint-like formation over his/her whole body. Baby’s skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it.

Things I've been experiencing this week:
Actually starting to look pregnant and not like I just ate too many doughnuts over the weekend and getting so so excited about finding out the sex of our baby in less than 2 weeks!
