Daydreaming...

We are just under a week away from the 1/2 way mark and learning whether our bundle of joy is a boy or girl. Exciting times! But, while I wait, I've been doing some daydreaming about the nursery. I knew I wanted a nautical theme for a boy's nursery, but now I'm thinking I want the same for a girl's nursery. I've been looking at Babies R Us and Target, but wasn't seeing anything I like... And then it dawned on me to check Etsy. Now we're rolling! The creative juices are flowing, and I'm pumped about it.

We also have a week and a day until the Gender Reveal party, which has me a little freaked out because I'll be on travel for work all week next week. I'm sure it'll come together :).

I'm also expecting the arrival of my doppler this afternoon... I couldn't help myself... I need to hear the baby's heartbeat when I'm not feeling many movements. I'm going against some good advice on this decision, but I held out for a quite a while, so I'm giving myself credit for that!!!

Did you know doctors can tell you the gender of your baby through the blood work they do for genetic screening?! Apparently that's how my other friends and acquaintances are finding out. I wish I'd known! But, we'll do it the "old fashioned" way at our 20 week u/s on Wednesday. It'll be here before we know it!

In other news, we spent some time with Barry's sister this week before she goes back to Virginia Tech for the Spring semester. We love spending time with her and will miss her, but she's ready to get this semester started!
