19 week Progress

I can't believe I'm almost half way done! So far, I love being pregnant. The kicks are by far the best part! I'm feeling them more (and harder) as each day goes by...I'm still trying to get Jeff to feel them. Each time I feel a hard kick and put his hand on my belly and then she gets shy. I'm really hoping my Christmas he can feel one :-) The belly is growing quickly! People at work have been commenting on how I've really 'popped' the last week but I think I look the same, maybe because I see myself daily so I don't notice. However, a few of my long sleeve t's I've been wearing are getting too short :-) I think I've gained around 8 or 9 lbs. I've read you should gain 10lbs by 20 weeks and then a lb every week after so I'm doing good! Below are a few pics Jeff took last night.....
My first 'front' belly pic! It's been lop-sided the last couple weeks because she is always hanging out on the my right side. She kicks the most on my right and I always find her heartbeat with the doppler (which I still do everynight-haha) on my right. Oh and the nursery progress! I don't know if I started nesting or if it's because my OB said they may induce me sooner...but I've been working on the nursery all weekend! I painted (Lilac Whisper by Valspar) and we really love it. I still have some painting to do at the top and touch up a spot we had to patch. We really love the color though! My bedding also came in!! Here's the nursery so far. We are going to add the capiz chandelier (that I posted about earlier) and get a big white shag rug. Above the crib I'm going to do some vinyl wall letter with her monogram. Above the changing table with be the framed bow holder but I can't decide what to do above the bookcase!! Still trying to figure out what to do with the window treatments too......

So here it is so far!!



I also washed ALL the baby clothes I've bought/been given. I'm working on washing the blankets and cloth diapers and organizing the closet. :-) So let me know what you think about the nursery and any ideas are welcome!!

Looks great! Maybe some DIY art over the bookcase?
