I'm not doing bad.. other then still not lifting things which sucks when you need to move everything in the kitchen and clean to get rid of the cat pee smell.. but hey I'm getting her done lol!!
you can kinda tell I'm preggo, I never really lost the weight from the other two ( ) so its not a cute belly yet...

Sardam - my ultrasound is April 9th too. Aren't you so excited about the cookie? I just can't get over it. I haven't told any of my family about the cookie, so they all think we won't know until the next week.
In the last week, my belly has grown and gotten rounder - yay, I hate the in between stage. I was 19 weeks on Wednesday, and can't believe I will be half way through this pregnancy next week - where has the time gone!

Last week several people at work comment on my growing belly. Not even loose fitting scrubs can hide it anymore. I feel like my belly has doubled in size the past two weeks. We'll see what the scale says at my next appt.

Ha! You guys think you have big bellies! I'll get a picture of mine next week. I'm huge! I'm big to begin with, but even so, we saw baby b kicking this morning. That's alotta baby in there.

We haven't decided for sure yet, but I don't think we are doing the cookie It is tempting though.

So now that we're about half way how prepared are you for baby?

We bought another stroller because our others won't do everything we need. We don't need anything else aside from soaps and creams. I rearranged the nursery today. The crib is set-up. I haven't dug out or washed anything, including bedding yet. I do have some sewing to do, curtains and receiving blanets and I'm slowly knitting a coming home outfit.

The nursery will stay blue and if baby turns out to be a girl we'll repaint it if not it can stay little boy blue. I feel guilty and lazy for not repainting a gender neutral colour but I really like putting little boys in blue rooms and I can't be bothered especially because this one was just painted in June when we moved in.

Have you been doing anything yet?

Well since we moving soon we haven't done much.. WE have gone through all the cloths and separated them.. the girls and boys cloths were all mixed together and we counted it all to see where we need to replenish!! We've also cleaned the high chair.. we need to look into wether we're fixing the single or going to invest in a new one after awhile.. we'll see!

found a new infant carseat, painted Noah & soon to be baby's room this weekend.

Have told Nana she needs to shop- lol. Crib still needs to go up, and we need to get a new crib mattress.

Have cut out some new dipes, but that's as far as I've made it with them so far! lol

Bought some clothes from Mamarazzi the other day (infant stuff)... otherwise- I know where the nursing pillow is, and if the crib doesn't get up in time, I'm not concerned as babe will bunk with us for the first while.

I think all I have left to is sort through gender neutral clothes. I've had a November baby and an April baby already so this one being inbetween there should be plenty of boy clothes in appropriate sizes. If it is a girl, then I have some selling and shopping to do!
Because my youngest was 9 months when I got pregnant most of the baby stuff was still out so it got cleaned and put in the closet for a few moths. The crib has been up and used consecutively for the last 4 years. The new baby will co-sleep until the crib is free! I am thinking we are going to buy a new crib mattress though as it seems to be kinda soft and being used for 4 years, plus 2 years by a cousin before that, I think it has seen it's better days.
My swing and infant diapers are lent out right now, but I will be able to get them back in about a month.

My ultrasound is April 9th too!

[NicChick]

I haven't really done a whole lot yet...b/c I have tons of time...until I realized last week, that this week we are half way there - it's like time has snuck up on us. I'm not really doing much before I find out what the baby is. If a girl, then I just have to go through the clothes I have, and if it's a boy, then I have some shopping to do. My dd is switching bedrooms, and the nursery (her room now) is green, so nothing needs to be done with it. We do need to paint dd's new room, and buy her a dresser. The only other big thing we need is a double stroller. It is so much more relaxing this time, not worrying about getting everything done...b/c I know now, just how little a newborn actually needs in the first weeks.

I have an infant seat (borrowed) sitting in my entry way and it's a little bit exciting.

Well I finally got a hold of my doctors and my next ultrasound is April 9th!! I can't believe I'm already going for another ultrasound and so soon too!
