More Baby Updates

We (and by "we" I mean Brian) painted the baby room!  We stuck with the Mushroom Bisque color that we used downstairs because it matched the bedding.  Here is a link to the bedding we bought.

We are so lucky that Uncle Eric and Auntie Jessica are letting us use their crib.  (I am assuming it is nice for them to get it out of the basement too).  Uncle Eric even came over after work the other day to help Brian set it up.  We put the bedding on it right away to see what it looks like.

Then I put my TenderHeart Bear in the crib.  Amazing how he is 27 years old, but still fits in a crib.  Poor guy was kicked out of our bed when we got married, so things have been lonely for him.  Then I decided to go down to the basement and dig out his siblings (the bears on the left and right).  They are still pretty plump and underloved compared to TenderHeart.  I don't even remember their names.  Birthday Bear and something else.   TenderHeart, however, has had a pretty good life.  His adventures have included many trips to summer camp, the cabin, Alaska, college, and even a year in China.  He was missed in Malawi, but it was probably for the best.  He most likely would have been eaten by a mouse or molded in the rainy season.  Now his new job is to keep the the baby's bed all snug and warm for a few months.

The rest of the room is pretty bare, but will fill out before May!

We also just had our 20 week ultrasound.  We saw all kinds of body parts- the heart, brain, spine, kidneys, but no genitals because we decided to wait.  I tried to take a picture but it is not as clear.

The nurse-wife also thought that maybe the due date was closer to May 18th than May 12th.  That is what we thought in the beginning, so I think for our own mental preparation we will expect the later date and be surprised if it is earlier.
