It's Purple and Pink from here on out! :)

We are now in our 20th week of pregnancy and went for our ultrasound yesterday to find out that....Baby Watson is not a baby boy as everyone was guessing...baby Watson is a little sweet baby girl! :) I had a hunch, that God would bless me and Brian with a little baby girl. Now our daunting task over the next few months will to turn the wood paneled walls and blue shag carpeted "office" into a little girl nursery. Sure do wish we would have taken before pictures of the office before Brian demolished the century old carpet and sweet wooden walls. :) Oh well! We're infamous for starting demolition on a project and THEN thinking about taking before and after pictures. 


So for the next few weeks/months I am dreaming up ways to make a little girl's room a livable shade of girly without making her daddy feel like he's surrounded by estrogen. After the baby is born he will be outnumbered. 3:2--and yes I am counting the dogs (Abby and Petey). :)


Here's a little something I borrowed from a blog I've been following for a while...it's an update of our little pregnancy progress.

How far along? 20 wks
Total weight gain: 10 so far, but I did just eat waffles with yummy syrup so that number may be inaccurate.
Maternity clothes? Yes, a few. Mainly pants...I'm just starting to show, but just chubby enough that my old pants don't fit me anymore. Bleh.
Stretch marks? none so far. Lets keep it that way.
Sleep: Good so far, actually really good. Some days I feel like I could hibernate.
Best moment this week: Seeing out little girl on the 20 week ultrasound....She was moving her mouth (like her momma!). Saw her little foot...and it's just like mine. Poor girl's 2nd and 3rd toes are longer than her big toe.

Miss Anything? Drinking coffee. And eating steak. Anddd...wine. And my favorite pair of BKE jeans. Ah, those were the days.
Movement: tons of movement, little baby girl is using my tummy as a jungle gym! 
Food cravings: Mainly veggies and fruit. But every once in a while I get a wild craving for anything chocolate!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat and broccoli. Every once in a while I can chow down on it but it has to be the perfect moment.
Gender: Girl 

Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: So far, I've just had bad pain in my sciatic and my hips....Mainly when I work both jobs in one day. Stairs are my worst enemy at the end of the day.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Depends on who you ask. I whine a lot though. I'm mostly happy I'd say, but Brian would tell you I'm a mean ole lady! :)
Looking forward to: Painting the walls of the nursery! Ahhhhhh I can't wait.
