It's a girl!



We are so excited!  We're nearly 20 weeks along and this pregnancy is flying by.  The baby looked great at last week's ultrasound. And I made sure the ultrasound tech and the doctor had no doubt about the gender...not looking for any surprises in February! Coop came to the appointment. It was our attempt to help him understand what's happening.  Not sure it did the trick but it was fun to have him there anyway.

I'm finally feeling better, with a lot less nausea and more energy.  The baby has been kicking and moving around a lot in the past few weeks, which is one of my favorite aspects of pregnancy. So far, not as active as Cooper was, but maybe too early to make that call.

We're in the process of getting Cooper's big boy room ready.  Hoping to move him in next month. He has declared that he's going to paint his walls red, and he tells EVERYONE he sees. We don't know where this red obsession came from, but have decided to overrule and paint his room blue. We'll let him pick out some red accents and hope that satisfies him.  The nursery will undergo a minor makeover to become more "girly".  I've never been super girly but it's really fun to switch gears to the cutesy girl stuff!

Just starting to go through the baby name book and get a list going.  No ideas yet.  If you ask Cooper, he'll tell you her name is Clarabelle!
