20 Weeks, Nursery, Survey

Week 20 is here which means I am 5 months pregnant and 1/2 way there. I feel like I have been pregnant forever!! The picture to the left is what Jer took this morning. I am not a big fan of the side pictures....still!!! However, I'm able to still comfortably wear regular size shirts but in maternity pants or using the bella band full time.

Here is what babycenter.com says about 20 week old Lucy:Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She'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, she's measured from head to toe.)See's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in her bowels, and you'll see it in her first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

The Sorg family had a busy, but fun weekend. Here was our timeline:

Friday-Cookout w/Linds and Kyle for our "We wish we were at the DMB concert." I didn't get tickets this year because I wanted to avoid the contact buzz I would inevitably get. We had some delicious grilled vegetables and other food and played games and ladder golf until around midnight.

Saturday-I had a bridal shower to attend for Jenn and Jeremy went golfing with her fiance Wes. I briefly saw my sun burnt husband before I left for Conner Prairies Symphony on the Prairie: The Beatles. I went with Denise and her family plus Steph for her mom and her twin sister's bday. It was so much fun! D was smart and got a picnic table so when we showed up late it didn't matter since she paid for the table and it was up close.

Sunday-Woke up to really sore muscles...we both did. Mine in my legs and Jer had a sore back/neck from golf. We woke up too late for church...oops! We went to the Martin's where Chris and I went baby shopping and Jeremy went with Jack and Molly to play video games somewhere in Carmel. Chris and I accomplished a lot!! I purchased some of the bedding and picked out paint. The picture to the left is the complete set. It looks purple in the picture but it's actually a light pink & brown. I plan on registering for everything I didn't buy for it. The walls will be a very light pink, almost cream color because there is a lot of dark brown going in the room with the furniture. Talk about sticker shock!!!! The crib, dresser, and glider is going to cost us a fortune!!!! But at least she'll be stylin in her room.

By Sunday night....we both passed out very fast and had a good night sleep. Hopefully it'll be a good week!
