20 Weeks

How far along? 20 week (halfway there!!!)

Maternity clothes?  You bet!  Still able to squeeze into some of my old tops (like the one above), but things are starting to get tight.

Stretch marks? Not yet...and hopefully never!

Sleep:  Sleep has definitely improved this week compared to last.  Thank goodness!

Best moment this week:  Feeling baby boy move more and more is pretty priceless.  Also had some fun shopping for him...I am now officially spending more time shopping for clothes for him than me.  Momma's love, I suppose.  ;)

Miss Anything?  I'll let you fill this one in...  :)
Movement:  More and more!  Brad's dying to feel him, but everything has been internal so far.  Soon, I suppose.  :)

Food cravings:  Nothing crazy this week...so far. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope.

Belly Button in or out?  Still in, but starting to look different.
Wedding rings on or off?  Really trying to keep them on, but they're getting tight.  Might be time to get a fake one for the next few months.
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy most of the time.  Anxiety is starting to set in from time to time...so much to think about and figure out!  I know it will all work out, but it's a bit scary looking in at the long 'to do' list...

Looking forward to:  Meeting baby boy!!  The first 20 weeks have flown by pretty fast...here's to hoping the next 20 do as well!  =)

 

Today was also Baby Blackman's first voting experience.  We lucked out and made it through the polls in less than 15 minutes!  I suppose one of the perks of working from home on Election Day is getting to vote when most people are at the office.  :)

 

In other news, we've started making progress on the nursery!  It's so fun and exciting!!  :)  Brad painted the walls a couple of weeks ago.  We went with a dark grey color.  The crib arrived last Friday and we put it together this past weekend.  Here's a sneak preview:

 

We're going grey walls with white trim and furniture to create a 'crisp' look.  I found a bed skirt as well and CAN'T WAIT for it to arrive!!!  More on that in the future...

 

We've also started our list of names.  Picking a name is quite a task and huge responsibility!  It's fun, but also stressful.  We'll have more on that when we eventually reach a decision...it could be awhile.  ;)
