Not technically baby related

Our kitties were our first babies, so I thought I'd share some pictures I took with our new camera.

20 weeks

Here's what BabyCenter has to say this week:

How your baby's growing:

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Bedding???

I think we've decided on bedding for the nursery. I really love the combo of pink and green.

I can't believe I'm halfway there already - Time's been flying by. Here's the latest belly pic.

Here's what Babycenter.com says about her this week:
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.Oh and my new favorite thing is the snoogle body pillow - I haven't been able to sleep much in the last week and this thing is amazing

Matt's officially outnumbered....

Our house has begun to be taken over by pink & purple. I did some shopping this weekend at the outlets and my friend Rebecca from work (who has as big of shopping addiction as me) bought some adorable stuff too. I also made a very girly tie blanket.Have I mentioned that baby shoes are pretty much the cutest thing ever
