Odds & Ends

These past 2 weeks have been crazy, to say the least.  I've been in baby 'over-drive' trying to get things done, and with me getting bigger and bigger thus more tired - it's getting challenging!  When I should be working on something or reading a baby book, I usually find myself falling asleep :)

I know I am so long over-due on a bump pic.  Everytime I think about it, I realize Jeff isnt here to take it - I will hopefully get one posted soon!

I had a sonogram Friday to see where the placenta is placed, and it has migrated up, so no cause for concern there!  It was a super-quick sono (probably 5 minutes or less) and she didnt take measurements so I have no idea how big Jillian is.  My book says around 3.5-4lbs, so we'll go with that.  I did get a few pictures of her, I'll try and post them later after I scan them in. Now that she's getting bigger, it's harder to take a good shot and not to mention her moving around the whole time made it hard to get a still shot.  She was SO cute to see!  

So now that I'm obviously prego, it's so funny to see how perfect strangers react to me.  Most people look at my belly and then smile at me. What cracks me up are the ones wanting to know every detail of my pregnancy.  I've learned a 'quick' trip into a convenient store is no longer possible.  The lady behind the counter wants me to turn sideways so she can see my profile and guess what I'm having and how far along I am.  Of course they never believe me - they all think I'm too little (HA!) and carrying so low it must be a boy.  Then they proceed to ask how much weight I've gained (not kidding), the name, am I having cravings, etc.  Also it's hilarious how some waiters or servers in a restaurant or smoothie shop tell me what to order due to my 'condition' or 'state that I'm in' and what would be healthy for the baby.  Why they can't say the word pregnant, I dont know.  

Here are a few pictures of the nursery paint (not quite done, as you can tell).  The owners before us had it painted light pink, most would say that's perfect for a little girl, but nope, I wanted green (I think Jeff was relieved):
Don't mind the RANDOM vanity sitting there.  We're re-doing the nursery bath.

Here are a few pictures of Jillian's outfits:
ADORABLE outfits from Jeff's mom and sister!

Jillian's going home outfit I bought a few weeks ago!

Ok, that's all.  I've rambled enough.  Off to eat dinner!
