Busy Finn, Not-so-busy Momma.

We're halfway through the pregnancy now at 20 weeks, and Finn's busy working up a sweat in there. He is kicking pretty much nonstop from the time I wake up to the time I fall asleep. Kicks (that are sometimes visible from the outside) and flips and rolls are the order of the day for him. I love it! Ben has really felt him kick now, and yesterday Mom and Dad both felt him.  Amy also felt him at work. Amy keeps saying "I gotta start talking to this baby so he'll know who I am when he gets here!"

I, on the other hand have been exhausted come 8 o'clock everyday. I've been getting stuff done, but just at a slower pace. One thing this week that I did was make mine and Finn's Halloween shirt.

We had our October appointment last week, and thank goodness Ben got to come with me. We got to hear his heartbeat again, and talk to the midwife about some things. She also said that I need to make appointments for childbirth classes with Ben. They scheduled my next appointment for over Thanksgiving break, and my grandmother is going with me to that one! She's really excited.
The other day Ben and I were thinking of all the 2012 events that little Finn will get to attend. The first possible, but highly unlikely event that he will attend is his Auntie Amy and Tucker's Wedding. It will probably be just Ben and I, but we'll see. Then in May, Finn will get to see his Uncle Avery graduate from high school! then in the late summer, we will probably have Finn's first beach trip, followed by seeing his daddy get his degree in Nursing. Ben and I think it will bes sweet picture of Avery and Ben holding Finn in Their caps and gowns. Then of course will be Finn's first Halloween, which I have the CUTEST Halloween costume idea, and then Thanksgiving and Christmas! Somewhere in there, Finn will get to meet his Uncle Thomas too!

Saturday, Ben and I looked at paint colors for the nursery. Ben doesn't really care about paint colors as long as there's some blue. Soooo, I found 2 colors I love. Bird Song Blue, and Gecko. I will keep all of the furniture white, except maybe the wooden rocking chair. Might do something fun with that... overall tho, I am going with the bird and tree theme.

We have decided on who the last person in the delivery room will be :) I will be doing a post soon all about her.
I will be uploading some more pictures soon too!
