Since I didn't have the energy to do this the other night, just wanted to add a few pictures from our fun day on Friday.
First, the 20 week belly shot:
First time in taking all these pictures each week that we knew there was a little girl in there!
The ultrasound tech was nice enough to get us quite a few pictures, so here are some cute ones of her:
Our little princess was moving around almost the entire time, so I'm glad we got a decent look at everything. She finally got tired towards the end. She kept her hands in fists up by her face most of the time. So fun to watch her.
We shared the news with our immediate families by giving them some pink macaroons (with chocolate announcement) from a local French bakery:
That went over pretty well. Cute and tasty!
Today, we were out and stopped by Home Depot to pick up some Disney paint samples for the nursery. Well, turns out that Home Depot stopped carrying them recently, so there were no Mickey head paint chips to be found! I had looked on the website and liked "Heffalump Purple", so we tried to find things that were similar to that. We used their little computer to try out some of the colors. We liked this color scheme of a lighter purple with a darker accent wall:
I like the idea of going with a light purple, since I'm not real into pink and this seems girly without going pink. Plus, it should go well with both pink and blue (my favorite color). And it will match our beautiful holiday light castle blanket, which will end up in there. So exciting to be getting going on this. (Of course, the room is still a guest room, so we have a long ways to go, but it's fun to dream.) We also started picking out some of our Disney lithographs that will go well in the nursery. We have a couple from Lady and the Tramp, a couple from Cars, and a couple from The Lion King that we think will work. We have a print we bought at the Poly that shows Mickey and Minnie on the Poly beach, so we want to use that. Also, we discovered some great prints online that combine Winnie the Pooh and Star Wars, so we'll probably order some of those too. Plus a lot of wall decals with other Disney characters. This should be fun!
