Hard to believe two weeks have gone by since my last entry! Not much new to report, all is well. I worked in the nursery over the past weekend. With Darren in Las Vegas, I had time to get ALOT done. The furniture is assembled and the pictures are hung. Darren will have to hang the border and we will be set! He is also thinking about installing a new closet system, so we'll have to look in to that.
I have my next OB appointment on Friday (2 days). I am sure there won't be much to report there, either.
Camryn has been quite active the past couple of nights! Kicking up a storm at bedtime! It's just neat that Daddy can feel it too, now!

Looks like I have gained another pound since last week. Not bad! Feeling well, for the most part, however I am not sleeping well again. The last two nights I have slept well until 3am, and 4 am. That's it. She has been kicking steadily for the last week or so. I feel them mostly at night, when I lay down. She was really going at it yesterday morning in the car - I don't think she cared for my singing! :-) Darren felt his first kick last night, too!
We are going to paint the nursery this weekend - which is something I am excited about! The furniture will be delivered today and/or tomorrow. I am excited to get it all put together! I finished painting all my little picture frames and the letters to spell out Camryn, so I am excited to get them hung and see what other "girlie" touches are needed!
I finally started my registry and selected some must-haves, some -wants, and a few other recommendations from other BTDT (been there done that) moms (Thanks, Laurie)! Anyhow, it can be found at Target.com.
I signed us up for all of our classes - in March. I have Prestin signed up for a sibling class, and then Darren and I will go to the Labor of Love series, which is two Saturday classes. I will then attend a breast feeding basics class in April.
Guess that's all for now. I will update with pictures of the nursery when the painting is done!

It has been an exciting week! Hard to believe I am 5 months pregnant, but here we are, with our little miracle on the way!
I have begun to make Camryn's room a little more girlie! Still waiting for Daddy to paint, but I bought the wooden letters to spell out her name, and will paint them pink and hang them with pink ribbon. I also am painting some picture frames pink, lavender and yellow. Just to add a few girlie touches!
I ordered the nursery furniture today as well. Hoping it will be here next week! Lots of excitement and anxiety as Mommy wants to start gettin gthings done!

Level II Ultrasound/3rd OB appt.
My level II ultrasound was this morning and it was AMAZING! The baby is growing and was moving all around. It weighs 11 ounces now! There were no anomalies observed and all appears wel! We were able to see the four chambers of the heart, the stomach, the bladder, the kidneys, the spine, and the brain. Of course the obvious were the two little arms and legs as well as fingers and toes! Heart rate was 149 BPM. I continue to be on target with an estimated due date of June 4, 2008.
Best of all gender was able to be determined and I am carrying a baby girl! A very healthy, active baby girl!
OB appointment went well also. Had my blood pressure checked, urine checked and weight taken. I am up 6 pounds from last month. I think that brings the grand total to 17 pounds! Next appt. scheduled for February 8, 2008.
I have been able to feel her move around in there for about a week now. Had two very distinctive movements last week, and I have been able to feel kicks here and there. Nothing steady,yet, but a wonderful feeling so far! Can't wait until Daddy can feel too!
