Busy weekend

I tried to sit down and write 2 or 3 different times but kept getting interrupted. Michelle has noticed over the past few days that she is feeling pinching on the inside of her belly. Apparently those are the 'round ligaments' that are stretching to accommodate the growing baby. At this point, we are at 19 1/2 weeks and the baby has some pretty well-defined features. Among the highlights: the baby is around 6" long (close to 1/3 of of it's length at birth), the baby's brain is designating specialized areas for sensory perception, and (this is the one that gets me) if it's a girl, she has 6 MILLION eggs in her ovaries (anyone else wonder how they know?).

Here's a picture of what the baby (supposedly) looks like in the womb around 20 weeks. I happen to think it looks like the baby is doing the "Vogue" dance of Madonna fame....just using their legs instead of arms to frame their face :)

We finally have all of the pertinent boxes unpacked and will begin going through the garage this week (oh thrill). On a more fun note, we picked out the nursery colors yesterday and have chosen a theme! Stay tuned for sneak peeks as we work our way through putting up wall color and decorating!!

Last week we also made more 'big kid' purchases. We bought a formal dining table and a new couch for the front room. I'll do what I can to get pictures taken and posted this week...
