Blogging is one thing I can do during this heat wave that isn't absolutely exhausting, so I am happy for the moment of peace and quiet! I have never been a hot weather girl and being 23 weeks pregnant makes me want to seek out any excuse for air conditioning and/or swimming, neither of which are available at home. Well, we do have an air conditioning unit in the bedroom, but I don't want to drive up the electric bill by spending every waking moment in there! At least I can sleep comfortably. The high temperatures have made work seem a little more pleasant since the Gallery has fabulous air conditioning and humidity control to protect the artwork (and pregnant ladies - there are currently three of us).
I really have not accomplished much in the past week - all painting and redecorating projects are on hold until I can breathe a little more comfortably in my house. I have started looking into baby registries, but I still feel pretty overwhelmed by how much STUFF is out there for babies. Since my two showers will be on the early side (to make sure certain people can attend), I guess I better get on it.
We did have our second anatomy scan ultrasound and everything looked great. I was actually startled by how relaxed the baby was, but our first two ultrasounds had been later in the day, while this one was early - I guess the little guy is a late sleeper. She went into 3D mode for us to check out his adorable little face and I'll just say that I am already totally in love with my little man. He is the cutest baby I have ever seen :)
And as of Friday he is the size of a papaya!
I went searching for a papaya in the produce section the other day and I couldn't find one! I like to hold the fruit of the week just to see what I'm carrying around in there, but Wegman's let me down this time.
That's all for now... here's hoping that the temperatures drop just a little bit sometime soon!
Doing my registry was VERY overwhelming... I would definitely recommend going to Babies R Us - they give you a registry guide of suggested items... Mom and I went through and crossed off the things that we felt were ridiculous and not needed, and it also reminded us of odd ball items that might be nice/useful. Things are cheaper at Target but their policies suck! the great thing about either place is that you get a registry completion discount coupon before your due date so you can pick up things you didn't get.
