I can't believe this pregnancy is already more than half over! I have been busy sewing stuff for the nursery and finishing Wy's room. I had been meaning to paint some murals on his walls since we moved in, I just hadn't found the time. I figure with just about 100 days left to go I better get started. Once I finish his room I feel like I can finally start on the nursery. We still need to clean it out as it is my craft room currently. I need to make bumpers for the crib and buy some curtains for both the boys rooms, but other than that all the other textiles are done.
Oh, and I forgot. ITS A BOY haha! I knew it was a boy all along. I was so SICK of my family sayig oh, I hope its a girl. You need a girl this time. I bet its a girl. Especially when I knew it wasn't. I would love a girl. I would love to put big ol' bows on her head and dress her in frilly dresses. However, I am sooo excited that it is another boy. I want Wy to have someone to play with that wants to play with him. I've seen my niece and nephew play together. It consists of lets play dolls, no they are for girls we are going to play my boy game, I don't want to, well too bad because we aren't playing girl games. They don't really play together all that much. With two boys, they can play cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, and whatever other boy games there are!
Now back to the nursery, we are doing a Dr. Seuss theme. We are going to paint the walls either light green or light blue. The crib skirt is like a turquoise with red bean dots. The sheets are minky and are orange, lime green, and a bright blue. The bumpers are going to be yellow on one side and Dr. Seuss fabric on the other. And I plan on putting in red curtains in. It will be a very colorful room!!

NT Scan
Ok so it has been forever since I posted. I am just so worried that something will happen so if I don't mention that baby it is safe. Dumb I know.
So we had the NT Scan (Nuchal Translucensy Scan). It tests for Down Syndrome, Trisomy 13 & 18. They do an ultrasound to measure the fold at the back of the fetus' neck. Well, apparently we have a lazy gummi bear in there! Baby did NOT want to turn around. He was facing my back and we needed a profile shot. It was supposed to be a 30 minute ultrasound. After the first hour, they had us get up walk, get something to eat and drink (OJ and a rice krispie treat, I tried loading up on sugar to kick that baby's butt into gear!). We go back up, and for the next hour, they try some more. And by try, I mean, for two hours, I was pushed on. Think what it would look like if you tried bouncing a bouncy ball on a mold of jello. Yup, squishes, pokes, prodes, evilness. At one point, I felt the baby move, she was pushing so hard on him! Finally, just when they were about to give up, he turned! The fold was measured at an avg of 1.7, anything below 3.0 is good! And they saw the nose bone, which also helps prove that there is no defects.
After the very long u/s, they prick my finger and take 5 droplets of blood to run bloodtests for. A week later they called me and said we have a 1/10000 chance for these defects. Which basically means out of 10000 people 9999 will not have a baby with DS or Trisomy. Basically it is as negative as it gets! Yay!
OH and I keep saying He because we were told 80% chance its a boy. Meaning, if the genitals have finished forming by that point we got a tiny boy in there! We will find out for sure June 20. Now its off to decide on a boy name.
