18 Weeks!!

Today I am 18 weeks pregnant!! Only 2 more weeks until I will be halfway done and only 1 more week until we find out if Baby Israel is a he or a she. We're so excited! Then it will be on to the fun things...like picking out names and decorating the nursery. We have A LOT of work to do in the nursery. Since moving into this house last May, it has become our catch-all room even though we are lucky enough to have a HUGE walk in attic for storage space. My goal for this weekend is seriously have the room cleared out so that we can start getting stuff done in there next week!! If it's a girl we've got some painting to do. We had originally decided that we would make the room our second guest room so we picked out a great blue color thinking that it would make a great baby boy room one day in the future. Our other guest room is yellow (some how our guest rooms ended up Sigma Chi colors...) and that could have possibly been turned into a baby girl room. We ended up pregnant before we even had a chance to touch the blue and make it into a guest room. I've added a couple of "before pictures" of the room and hopefully I will have dazzling clean room "after pictures" to share by next week. Excuse the ugly blue carpet - ripping that up is on our list of things to do in the near future!!




As you can tell, we've got a lot of work to do! I just cannot believe how fast the past 18 weeks have gone. Hopefully the next half of this pregnancy will be as fast so we can just meet our new little baby!!!
