The week of May 25th 2009
Head to rump, BJ should be about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weigh almost 7 ounces. But if you have been keeping up with her, you know that she is already measuring 6 inches and is likely bigger now:) She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that I have felt from time to time and will start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from her head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. Her reproductive organs are formed and in place, but if her dad has anything to do with it, she will never get married and have babies of her own.
So as all of you know from several posts ago, we are having a girl and we are sooo extremely excited that we can't stand it! Also as many of you know I am very much a planner so now that I know what the sex of the baby is I will be kicking it into high gear for planning mode. Plus, am I getting bigger and it is getting hotter, so the more I get done early the better! We went to babies r us and started our registry. We also went to USA baby and registered for the bedding we like. I also think we are going to register for a few items at Target too. We haven't decided if we are going to paint BJ's room or not, but if we do decide to paint it, it won't be PINK!!! Her dad and I both agree that she will already get a lot of pink clothes and gear, so a pink room would be over the top :) We haven't decided on furniture for the nursery yet, but so far this is what we have settled on:

This is the bedding we picked out and we both really like that it is feminine, but not pink. You can go here to view the other pictures as well:

Anyways so we will post our registries soon since we have some baby showers coming up this summer before the baby comes. We still haven't decided on a name yet, but we are so excited about everything and can't wait to actually see our baby girl in person and hold her!!
