Colors

Wow, it is hard to believe it has only been a little over a week since we confirmed we are having a little girl. It is much easier to talk about her now and plan for things. To help our family and friends with our thoughts on girl colors John and I decided to put some info in our blog.




So, no baby pink or baby purple (unless it is a minor color). I am not into pink at all, but am okay with fuchsia/raspberry, deeper pinks in my book. I love how there are lots of variety in girl clothes right now. Chocolate or navy back grounds with stripes or flowers in fuchsia, yellow, greens, purples and all sorts of other colors. I have shared some pictures of patterns we already own to help. Hope this gives people a better idea of what we are thinking. It is not absolutely no pink, just pink as a minor detail, not the whole outfit. Ruffles are fine, no lace. We love all the nature patterns out there right now, especially birds and owls.
So baby girl has been busy this weekend. She has been bouncing around in there having a good time. She wanted to get up at 5:30 am yesterday just like we had all week. I hope this does not stick with her long! She did not want to get me up this morning thankfully, but has been flipping around quite a bit this afternoon. It is so hard to believe that she is about 10.5 ounces! That is about the size of a can of Rotel's (making chili today!). She is about 9-10 inches. I forgot to ask at the ultrasound, but I think she is good and big. Her digestive tract is working now and she is taking sips of amniotic fluid to absorb some fattening nutrients. She can even taste the fluid now! The rest of her senses are still developing, but at a fairly quick pace.
We have finally put our first coat of paint on the walls in the nursery. Still a soft yellow with white stripes on the bottom. We are looking for some black and white curtains for the two windows and John wants to go with dark brown furniture. So, things are coming together slowly there. We are trying to make a list of things we will need and what to register for. Not too busy here this weekend and I even got in a nap. Yeah!
I hope everyone has a great week!
