Best moment of the week: Got my hair cut (chopped you could say) and a much needed pedi!
Miss Anything? Well I'm kinda missing MY HAIR...I decided to cut it off because it has continued to break and become very thin since I've been pregnant. So I  took a picture with me to get it cut at the beauty school I always go to and it ended up a LITTLE shorter than I asked for. I like it, just still getting used to it.
Food cravings: Nothing new, just fruit all the time.

Nursery

The room we will be using as the nursery has been pink and purple since we bought the house 4 years ago, I always knew it would be a nursery so I never painted it. Now that it's time to paint we needed to primer all 4 walls first. James go all the walls primered on Friday this week and today we got the two dressers and crib put together. Still have one wall left to paint when we find out what this little one is!

Have you started to show yet? yep.
Gender prediction: uggghh...well I am back to I have no IDEA!! If you don't know all ready we were hoping to find out this past Friday. My OB did all the 20 measurements and looking for a long time for the sex. She didn't see any boy genitalia this time, but since she thought she did last time she was not confident in saying it was a girl this time. The other factors were, the baby had it's hands in it's crocth a lot and it measured big (like a boy) for 20 weeks...SOOO on the charts it's a "female ?" and we will check again next time! So no pink paint on the walls just yet...
