I can't believe we are already at the 20 week mark, although, it is technically a little over halfway for me (hopefully). My doctor said he wouldn't let me go past 38/39 weeks. I know I'm not huge yet, or even close to what I will be by the end, and that is what scares me. I am feeling big...and I'm only halfway! But I am very thankful because this growing belly means these babies are growing bigger and healthier by the day which is all I can ask for.
I went away on a Women's Retreat this past weekend and had such a nice time with some of my closest friends. We praised God, learned how to be organized wives and mommies, and did a lot of relaxing. Matt, on the other hand, was busy working away on the nursery. He got it all painted by the time I got home on Sunday. Such a nice surprise. I've always wanted a gray nursery and that's what I got! The room already had white bead-board on the bottom half, and I just love the combo of the gray and white together. It looks so crisp and clean :) My in-laws are picking up the dresser/changing table this weekend. I can't wait to get home on Monday and see it set up in the room. Pictures to come next update :) I hope everyone has a great Memorial Weekend!
