It's been about two weeks since I last updated the blog so I thought I would write something and post another picture of my bigger bump. I was 18 weeks on Tuesday and had a doctor's appointment on Friday. It was just a regular checkup. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was in the high 150's - always fun to hear! Just two more weeks until the ultrasound...we are both really excited for that!
I've started registering online at Babies R' Us for at least the basics. Today Yusaku and I went to Babies R' Us and looked at car seats, strollers, cribs, etc. We found stuff we liked but aren't ready to buy it just yet. We need to clear the existing furniture out of the soon-to-be baby's room and would like to paint before bringing home the crib and any other furniture. Hopefully next month sometime, once we find out the sex, we will get started on painting and setting up the nursery.
Our current project is making the basement a more finished space that we can use it as a place to hang out as well as a play room/ guest room. We had the basement re-carpeted a few weeks ago and got bookshelves, a storage cubby, and a sofa bed at Ikea yesterday. It's starting to look good. Yusaku built everything pretty much by himself and did a great job! All we have left to do is to fill up the shelves with everything that got pushed into the laundry and boiler rooms when we had the carpeting done. So, whenever you want to come visit, you'll have a nice place to stay! Who wants to be the first guest? :)
