20 weeks

Half way ! It's not the best picture ( although it is a nice shot of the spots I missed while dusting yesterday) but it's a picture. And that's the best I can do these days!
I went from craving WATER to craving a long list of sweets. How does that work? Carrot cake tops my list of " must eats" . Poor Mike, can't keep up but tries every day by asking " What does baby want?" (He'll do just about anything to ensure the arrival of a strong healthy boy in April)
How about:

-raspberry zingers ( who else but pregnant women and children under 8 eats them? And WHY don't they make a gluten free version? )
-brownies. And I can't decide if I want the gooey middle or the chewy outside. Either way, lots of chocolate, please!
-banana bread. An easy fix. I whipped up a loaf. I should have doubled the batch.
- salt and vinegar chips- Mike doesn't come home with out them any more.
and of course...
carrot cake- With melty cream cheese frosting and chopped walnuts, oh, more frosting. I'm not even sure there has to be carrots in it. Just lots of melty frosting, nuts and more frosting. In fact, after I write this and clean my dusty mirror, I am going to the store .

In other pregnancy news: I think I said before ( I can't be sure since all I think about is the above list it seems) but we'll be getting repeat ultra sound in the high risk ultra sound lab because little one got a little uncooperative at the end of our last and the doctor wasn't happy with the blurry shots. So January 9th is the day. I've heard my fair share of things to eat and things to do to make an uncooperative baby cooperate. I'll give them a try and see what comes of it!

I took an afternoon and got the nursery all set up. Now it's just missing the " boyish" touches to make it the perfect space for our little guy. We're thinking of doing a train theme. Mike and Mackenzie are both very excited at the prospects of adding another train lover to the mix here. Here are a few snap shots of things as they are now:

We are so, so thankful that Mary sent out ALL of our baby stuff ( I think it was about 9 boxes worth ).
This bumbo seat is the only gender specific baby item we got for Mackenzie. Baby boy will have to endure purple. Perhaps it will encourage sitting up a bit faster?
The funny little guy in the bassinet is Zany. He is a " cat keeper-outer."
