31 weeks

We're in the home stretch! Only 9 weeks til the due date! (Oct. 9) I had an ultrasound at 30 weeks and everything looked great. We could really see the face this time (it doesn't look like a scary alien anymore). It's was really amazing! And it is FOR SURE a girl! Hooray for another dancer in the family. The baby has been kicking up a storm and we can see little limbs and who knows what moving around from the outside.

The home preparations (aka nesting) have begun. I've been slowly starting to move some of my clothes into storage and clear out more space for Mike in our room since the lil grasshopper will need some space in the closet in her room. We (Mike that is) are going to start painting the nursery soon. Lucky for Mike there's just one wall to paint...and maybe a couple more if I can talk him into painting some other walls around the house too.

We finally picked a name....but we're keeping it a secret! Unfortunately we did not go with the Donna-tello suggestion from an earlier comment on the ninja post.

Photos are coming soon...we finally got a new charger for the camera so we'll post some in the next few days.

Hi Nicole!
Ryan is not allowed to paint in our house so I found a wonderful "green" paint at Sherwin-Williams. It's called Harmony and it has no toxins and is safe for you to be around while you're pregnant. Even if you're not painting you're still breathing in the fumes. I've used it in Sophie's room and all over our house. It is pretty resonably priced as well. Good luck with the painting!
