Updated Nursery Pictures

HAPPY St. Patty's Day!  We had a very busy and fun weekend celebrating Mom P's 50th birthday, which is today (Happy Birthday, Mom).  Tim also arrived home late Friday night from his 5 week long trip to Virginia.  The kids and I were missing him very much and are happy to have him home again for a few more weeks before he'll need to travel again.

Meanwhile, I've taken some more (updated) pictures of the nursery.  I finally added a second book bin on the wall next to the window and applied the phrase lettering over the ledge shelf.  I also installed some blinds.  There is still a few things left to do (like add more lettering under the ledge shelf with the baby's name) but most of the little touches I've planned for will be done after the baby arrives, which, will be in about 8-9 weeks!

Another update on baby:

Today I had another ultrasound and appointment with the midwife and Mom L was able to join Emily and I for the visit.  It was nice to see the baby again on the monitor and No..... we are STILL not finding out the baby's gender!  ;-)So basically everything looks good.  The technician said that the heartbeat was normal and all of the baby's limbs/organs looked good.  They estimate the baby's weight to be 2 lbs., 13 ozs. today, which puts our little peanut in the 41st percentile.  The due date is still unchanged (5/19/09) and the baby's head was down.  I visited with the midwife after the ultrasound who indicated that all of my bloodwork is "right down the middle for values" so basically, I'm average!  I'm down to scheduling appointments with the midwife/doctors now for every two weeks.  The picture below is of the baby's face (although it's probably hard to tell for most people).  The forehead and eyes are to the right of the image and the nose and mouth are toward the center from the right.  The blurry spot in the middle of the image is an arm that was sort of crossed over part of the face.  At one point, we could see the baby opening and closing it's mouth, which was neat!
