Baby check-up went well!  Blood pressure is normal.  Baby’s heartbeat is strong. I gained about 8 pounds. I now weigh 133 lbs!

The doctor said, “You may not feel the baby moving every day, but you should now start feeling her movements, and maybe your husband will feel the baby kick soon.”   I said, “I feel her moving every day, and Aaron has felt her movements for a few weeks now.”  She said, “That’s unusual…”  but with a smile on her face… so I don’t think it’s a bad thing that our little girl is so active.

Next appointment will be our ultrasound on March 19, and also a blood test to check for gestational diabetes.  I hate needles :(   And I’m nervous about the ultrasound.   March 19 is going to be a nerve wracking day for me.  Please keep us in your prayers.  Thank you! ♥

Aaron bought some pink paint for our little girl’s room today.  I’m getting excited about making it all girly! :)   We still need a crib and a dresser for the room.  I can’t wait to see the completed room.  I know I’m going to love it! Oh, and I’m curious to see if I can find some Strawberry Shortcake curtains for the room, too :)

Aaron and I were laying in bed this morning.  He had his hand on my tummy.  I’ve noticed that the baby likes the right side of my uterus more than the left side.  I told Aaron, “Maybe the umbilical cord is on the left side, and if she’s anything like me, she doesn’t like clutter so she’s staying where she has more space.”  Aaron said, “Yeah, if she’s anything like you she probably coiled up the umbilical cord in a neat and tidy little stack like a garden hose.”  Ha! I love him.  He ALWAYS makes me laugh.

Tomorrow is my next baby check-up.  Just a routine check to see how the baby is growing, check my weight and blood pressure, etc.   March 20th will be the long awaited ultrasound.

I feel my belly stretching as I speak! Well… as I type :)  Thankfully, no stretch marks yet.  I’m really enjoying feeling baby girl move around so much.  Unfortunately, it seems her favorite kicking spot is my bladder.  And she never kicks only once.  It’s always in sets of 3 or 4.  Wham! Wham! Wham! on my bladder.

It’s hard to believe that I’m half way done with my pregnancy.  Ever since my nausea dissipated, it seems like time has flew by.  We have to start getting the baby room ready.  I finally gave in and told Aaron he can paint one wall of the baby room.  In case some of you don’t know, when I was fixing up this house I got sick from the fumes of paint, and I vowed to never paint again lol!  Every room in this house is white, but a pink accent wall in the baby’s room will look nice.  I will take pictures of Aaron painting the wall when he begins :)

Aaron and I were out at Big Lots yesterday to look at some comfy rocking/recliners.  I wandered down the baby isle just to see what cute things I can say “Awww”  about.  I found the cutest Strawberry Shortcake pajamas.   I didn’t buy them.  I just admired them :)
