19 week randomness

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. There have been some things I have wanted to post, but just don't make it upstairs on the home computer to do it. For example, Bernie got a snuggie, and looks really darn cute in it. So just picture my cute little dog, in a cute little blue snuggie=) He LOVES it, but it does prevent/restrict him from going upstairs (he has a big chest/rib cage, so it's a little "snug" in that area). In other news, I started painting baby K's room this past weekend. I chose a buttercream color. So it will be ok whether its a girl or a boy. Chill out people, I bought low/no VOC paint, wore a mask, and the room was well ventilated. One coat down, another to go. I have bought some girlie things for the nursery, including fabric, curtains and accessories, and crossing my fingers I don't have to take it all back after our sonogram next week=) Matt told me he hopes I have to take it ALL back and he can't believe I am buying pink stuff. We'll see about that=) If I have to take it back, I happily will because I have the most supercute idea and vision for a baby boy nursery and would love to do that too! However I have fallen in love with everything my mom and I have bought so far, so hopefully we can keep it=)

Other than that, things are still sailing right along. Still feeling great! I am feeling baby K kick and move more and more. This weekend I felt a couple of powerful punches, the most powerful thus far!!! I tried to get Matt to feel, but of course, as soon as he would put his hand on my belly, nothing! But I'm sure he will get to feel baby soon enough, the moving is just so random right now, and the only time I can actually feel it is when I am sitting still. Last night when laying in bed my belly was uneven, crooked, had a lumpy bulge on one side, so baby must have been in a super interesting twisted up position=) But no complaints really, other than (for those of you who care), my weight gain reaching the double digit mark, as in 10, one-zero, which I've read is "right on track". But I don't know where its going, other than my mid section of course. My pants and such all still fit, just can't button them. So I'm satisfied with that. Although someone who will remain nameless (and no it wasn't my husband) did tell me today that my cheeks were "puffier". Excuse me???? I think it was just because they are used to seeing me in a baseball cap everyday and today I wasn't wearing one because my hair actually looked decent. I think I know my own cheeks and I don't think they are puffy!=) What makes me feel good is that: 1) my wonderful hubby is VERY happy with the changes with my body thus far and says I look great, and also pointed out my ab muscles are still there, and 2)most everyone else that sees me, friends, people from church, etc. say they can't even tell I am prego. I don't look it at all=) Once I turn to the side and lift my shirt a lil to try to prove to them, they are like, "well, it looks like you just ate a big meal". But I can tell, when you know and are used to your own body, you can tell, and I'm sure you will be able to FINALLY see a difference in the 20 week belly shot to come=)
