Here is my belly at 17 weeks! Not much of a change at all since last week! 2 weeks and counting until we find out the sex of the baby!
S-U-P-E-R excited!

17 Week Vegetable
I am 17 weeks today, and apparently Baby Bean (will will only be Baby Bean a few more weeks...we find out if it's a boy or girl in only 2 weeks!!!) is the size of a turnip. The baby weighs 5 ounces this week, and is a little over 5 inches long.
Here is what the website says for this week:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
Grow baby, grow!

In & Out
Here's what's happening on the outside of the house:
Almost all of the siding is up on the back of the house, with the exception of white trim here and there. It seems like what's left is to put trim on the dormer windows, as well as put the new windows in. I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime soon our builder is going to start working on building the front porch, which I am super excited about!
Here's what's happening on the inside of the house:
John has been working here and there on the nursery, and it's starting to look really good! He installed cherry hardwood floors a little over a month ago, right before my family came in for a visit. He also made and put up wanes coating on the walls. It's not anywhere near done (still a lot of priming and painting to be done), but I am so excited with how what the end result will be! The coolest part- John thought, and planned the nursery 100% on his own! He said he wanted it to be his own little project, and he's doing an awesome job! In every project he works on, he's diligent, motivated, and works every last detail out...and this project is no different! Part of why we can't wait to find out if Baby Bean is a boy, or a girl is because we want to start painting, and decorating his/her room! We kind of have an idea of a theme/color pallet we're going to go with, but we're not totally positive.

4 Month Baby
We had an appointment today to hear the baby's heartbeat, and it went great! This was John's first time hearing the heartbeat, and it was a really special appointment for us! The nurse practitioner said, "I just love you guys...how about an ultrasound?" We were like, "Uh, yeah! We'd LOVE that!" It was so neat to see how much Baby Bean has grown in 4 weeks since our last appointment. He/she moved around a lot, so we got to see little feet, arms, legs, fingers, the heart beating, head moving all in great detail! We weren't able to see any girl or boy parts because he/she had its legs crossed...hmmmmm. We left there super excited, and so relieved that all is well with Baby Bean! I read a few verses before going into the appointment, which helped calm my mind a little.

Meet Terresa
Meet Terresa. Love Terresa. Book Terresa.
We are so excited to have Terresa Shaw from Virginia Beach do our maternity pictures! We're scheduled for the second weekend in July (I'll be a little over 6 months pregnant). Our best friends Matt and Katey Toller know Terresa somehow, and had their family pictures done a few months ago to help get Terresa's portfolio and website started. I fell in love with the pictures, and posted a few on the blog a month or so ago. Click on her name - TERRESA SHAW - to see her webiste. If you're local, think about booking her for any kind of session. She's super reasonable, talented, and she'll come to you!
