| Went for our first, big ultrasound on Monday. It's always just the most amazing experience. The baby never stopped moving, the tech had a hard time getting measurements, but in the end, she was able to get everything she needed. Here is scary skeleton face picture |

| Before/After - I know it doesn't look like a huge difference, but it's toned down and CLEAN, so I'm happy |
I've been nesting hard. I want EVERYTHING that isn't nailed down to go. I'm not a hoarder in general, but even with the little I do keep, things have been flying out the door down to the thrift store. We had the nursery painted. It was pretty banged up from Charlie being in there, so Matt's sister came over (God BLESS her) and painted our nursery for us (Matt hates painting and I don't have the steady hand, or the ability to be around the fumes). SO nice to check that one off the list. I have been going through the tubs from the attic of all of Charlie's things. I very systematically kept all his baby gear and clothes. It's been weird to go through it all - baby bottles and gadgets, tiny toys, tiny, tiny clothes, it's been fun. I really thought that I had more unisex outfits than I do. I'm not one that needs my little girl in unicorns and giant flowers on her head, but no, I'm not subjecting her to wearing rompers with trucks and dinosaurs on them. I told Matt that I wanted to find out the sex for purging purposes only. He talked me out of it, but it's going to drive me crazy in the mean time holding on to everything. So, we'll find out in June what I'll be able to get rid of and I'm super excited because once the baby grows out of the clothes, they are never going up in the attic again, everything can be purged!
I'm feeling great. Since this baby has basically the same due date as Charlie, I'm able to go to old blog posts and look at exactly how I was feeling at this point last time I was pregnant. First of all, let me say that I was a pretty big baby last time. But, when you are pregnant with your first, I swear you feel like there is NO way anyone has gone through this before. It's just so bizarre what you body is capable of. I was having a lot of pain at this point. When the muscles and ligaments stretch it can be pretty painful. I'm having none of that (already stretched out I guess). So, it's much easier going this time in the stride of things. I'm already half way there. Trying to soak it up a bit as I know that this will be the last baby for us.
