21 Weeks

Since we found out we are having a girl last week we have kicked into full planning/decorating mode. We picked a theme for the nursery, it will be Purple and Pink with Butterflies. (My favorite things!) and Today we bought paint and Arturo started the painting. For right now the room is completely pastel pink. Tomorrow he will tape off the bottom half of the room and paint it lavender. In the lavender, he will tape off 2 inch stripes, and when we peel it off there will be pink stripes in it. The finishing touch will be a white chair rail all around the room. Then I plan to decorate with tons of touches of purple, since it is my favorite color after all!

Now that I am officially 1/2 way through my pregnancy, a lot of things are becoming more real. Before I didn't really "feel" pregnant, or look pregnant, or anything else too exciting. Now things are getting fun! My tummy is starting to take shape, getting rounder. The baby moves all the time and I can really feel her a lot these days. She is a pretty active child already I can tell. Today Arturo and I were laying in bed in the morning and he wanted to see if he could feel her move, so he put his hand on my lower stomach and waited... then, BAM she give a good kick and he flies up and says, "was that her? I felt something!" So Arturo was able to feel her move for the first time today, now he keeps asking me all day, "Is she moving right now? Can I feel? I'm so jealous you get to feel her move all day!" He is so cute.

Other than the excitement of the baby and all the fun stuff  going on with that, I am getting excited for Halloween to be coming in a few weeks, I think tomorrow I will get out some of my Halloween stuff and decorate the front of the house. Our niece Mikayla also turns 2 on Halloween! Along with Halloween comes Arturo's Brithday the day before, I am a big birthday person so I am looking forward to making the day special for him and having some fun. Now if only this Arizona weather would finally cool down... That would be really nice!

Well thats all I have for now. I will leave you with a picture of Arturo painting the baby's room today.
