It's a....

Little baby girl! Lilliann Ruth Zerkle is, so far, looking just perfect! I had an ultrasound last Thursday, where we found out the sex, and I have already spent an obscene amount of money on girly baby clothes- is it my fault that Kohls, Carter's and the Children's Place were all having great sales??? We have new pictures from the u/s, and as soon as I find time to get our printer hooked up downstairs in the new "office" (aka. the basement), I'll post them.

We've also gotten the nursery painted already- I'll get some pictures up soon. I texted a pic to my sisters after we got the first coat on, and their reactions? "Wow, that's bright," and "Pink." So this should give an idea of what we've got going on! Steve put up a chair rail, and I think it really sets the room off- my bright pink isn't quite as bold with a white border above and below it. I figure once the furniture is in, it won't be quite as noticeable anyways (though, don't get me wrong, it will still be bold!) since things will be in front of it. Now, all I have left to do is make the crib bedding, organize everything and determine what we still need, and finish decorating!

I also need to get an updated belly pic (do you see a trend here with me and pictures?!) But here's my (biweekly, it seems) update of how I'm doing!

How far along: 20w1d.
Total weight gain: I gained another whole pound! So I'm at 197 now. Yay me! All that ice cream is finally paying off.. lol
How much does baby weigh: Well, I have a cantaloupe this week, and at the u/s last week, the tech said she was 10 oz and 10 inches... not too shabby!
Maternity clothes: Yup, I'm in them.
Stretch marks: Getting tired of this question- just going to leave up this standard answer- had 'em for years. Am over it.
Sleep: Some nights, I sleep fine, others, not so much. My husband's snoring is about to kill me.
Best moment this week: Finding out that we're having a girl!
Movement: Feel movement pretty much every day now- some of those kicks are getting awfully forceful!
Food cravings: Still loving the carbs, ate pickles the first time the other night- they were pretty good, but not craveworthy...
Belly button in or out: Still an innie- never popped out with DS, so probably won't this time either!
What I miss: Getting an uninterrupted night's sleep. Good luck with that, I guess!
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the nursery finished and buying more baby stuff!
Milestone: 20w! I'm halfway there!!!
