Week 21: Thinking about the nursery

Robin and Beth (Nic's brother and his wife) came up with the kids today and brought a bunch of baby stuff with them. They've been kind enough to loan us their crib and change table, both of which are lightly stained solid wood (maple, I think.) This is a wonderful jump start on the nursery, not to mention has saved us a lot of money. The only real piece of furniture we'll need to buy now is a dresser.

I'm really looking forward to getting started on the nursery (correction: looking forward to Nic getting started on the nursery.) We (we/he... whatever) will need to strip a wallpaper border, prime and paint the walls, trim, and baseboards, and install new carpet. I've also decided on the bedding seen in the picture; I'm just holding off on placing the order until we've had the baby's sex confirmed by 3D ultrasound.

The 3D ultrasound is booked for September 17th at See 3D in North York. I'll be about 26 weeks then. I'm pretty excited about that. The quality of the images are quite astounding (check their "gallery" to see examples.)

Oh, and a quick weight gain update: I'm up 8 pounds.
