So as the New Year has begun, we have now come to the realization that there will be a little person in the house in just 4 short months. Joey has been recovering from surgery this week, so there hasn’t been much planning on the baby front. We have registered at Target and Babies R Us, so at least that part is done; now it’s just the whole name issue, nursery planning and starting our childbirth classes, of which the first day is January 13th. It’s looking like Joey will be out of town that day, so my mom (the assistant coach) is going to join me for the first class.
As far as the nursery goes, we are planning to get out today and get some paint, and we have 98% decided on bedding. It’s not incredibly girly, but since we are planning on having our kids fairly close, we just didn’t want to invest too much time and money into a girly nursery when we would possibly have to turn around and make a very boy nursery a year down the road. Our concept basically looks like this:
We will be adding pink accents of course and there will be other girly items added along the way. Luckily the green lends itself to combining with pink, so we think it’s going to look really good. Once it’s completed, I will be of course posting before and after shots.
Here’s the 23 week update!
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
