19 weeks + one day

so this is a bit later than my usual sunday updates but nothing too exciting happened this week :) I started looking into baby things and started a registry. there are WAY too many choices for car seats and cribs, so right about now I have 3 or 4 of each because I just can't decide!

if we find out we have a girl I think I really like navy and pale pink for the nursery—nothing too overly girly but enough to be feminine. here's my inspiration for baby girl's room. and if we find out we're having a boy I again like navy and maybe green or a pale blue. I really like whales or a sea theme for a boy—so here's my inspiration for baby boy's room.

of course that all could change in a couple weeks!

it's so fun to anticipate and prepare baby's arrival. to think in about five months we'll have a family of three is so exciting. so many new firsts, traditions and things to share with our new child. I catch myself daydreaming every once and while about what our new life will be like and I hope to keep our child level-headed, down to earth but mainly happy, healthy and full of smiles.

can't believe we're almost half-way there! we find out what baby is two mondays from now :) only 14 days!


cravings: baby is back to liking fruits. that mango looks really good too. had a craving for garrett's popcorn, cheese + caramel corn = delicious.
aversions: i usually love bananas and peanut butter... not so much right now. mark also keeps brewing this awful smelling tea that has dandelion root or something—makes me instantly sick to my stomach.

what's baby up to?
vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) we might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
