Pregnancy Update - 17 Weeks

This past month has flown by...not feeling nauseous sure does make a difference!  I am still struggling with being tired, but that's okay, it will all be worth it in a few months!  I figure this whole pregnancy experience is preparing me to slow down and accept that it's okay to sit down and relax in the middle of the day!

Our 16 week appointment went well!  Everything looks and sounds perfect!  It's so amazing to hear that little heartbeat - it sure does beat fast!! According to babycenter.com this is what our little one is looking like this week.

We've started tackling the baby's room.  At first it seemed like we just needed a new floor and some paint...but the project list has grown now!  I'll be sure to share more details in a future post but our to do list in that room includes:

• Moving a closet wall
• Replacing the ceiling
• Rewiring the electrics & adding a ceiling light
• Removing old carpet  & installing hardwood floors
• Removing old wallpaper & painting the room
• Decorating (that's my favorite part!)

Here is a sneak peek of the ugliness we're dealing with.  "Nice" green paint covering "beautiful" paneling on the bottom and an "elegant" shade of green painted over textured wallpaper!  At this point any change we make will be an improvement and dramatic!
