Time is flying by with this pregnancy! I had my second OB appointment last week and everything went well. Hugh and I had a first trimester screening done yesterday. The screening includes a painless ultrasound and some blood work. The point of the screening is to look for any neural tube defects. Everything on the ultrasound came back great! The baby is in the 64th percentile of growth for its age and very active! My nausea and overall feeling of yucky-ness seems to be going away. However, this past week I’ve been completely exhausted in the evenings. It’s hard to explain the tired feeling that’s come with my pregnancy, but it feels a bit more like narcolepsy than just being tired. It’s just not something that you can push through or ignore.
Since we’re not finding out the sex of the baby Hugh and I have been having a hard time coming up with nursery ideas. We picked out about 40 paint sample cards and currently have them all taped on one of the walls in the nursery. I think we’re just going to wait until we have our furniture in the room to make a decision.
We’ve started to do some serious kid-equipment research. I honestly had NO CLUE that children needed so many different things. Our first items to tackle will be a car seat and stroller decision. They are so EXPENSIVE that we want to make sure that we choose something that will be a good investment and that we’ll be happy with. It’s funny to think that just 6 months ago we were doing crazy research on our European vacation and now we’re talking about strollers and car seats! I’ll keep you guys updated as we make our decisions on baby stuff, nursery decorating ideas and baby names.
