Mamaberry here.... :O) I love how Ken has coded this blog with different names. It is so his style. I'm starting to think that the background needs to be updated a bit since we are having a girl; with a keen eye, a blueberry really can have deep hues of purple.

Ken and I finished painting the nursery a lovely....tan. It was lavender, but the tan is so much more versatile. I have a feeling that when baby # 2 comes, I won't want to repaint, especially if we have a boy next. Really, though, the tan looks AMAZING, thanks to the help of my wonderful sister Ashley who just sent me the paint sample and said, "get this one". She knows how I decorate. Tell me what to do and I'll do it. At least, if it is Ashley telling me what to do.

Now, trying to decide on crib bedding. I'm not a huge fan of the pink girl bedding sets (or the purple ones for that matter). I have some fun ideas for wall art that I like that have the theme of doll dresses and jewels. Very sweet girl things, but I'm not too sure how that would match barn animals (lots of crib sets have animals in them-- and I love the colors in these---reds, greens, browns, neutrals). We'll see.

Today I was in Radio Shack getting a new car charger for my phone. The man assisting me just kept staring and trying to make awkward conversation about my growing belly. First he thought that I might give birth in his store (or at least, that's what the expression on his face said) and then he asked me if I was having twins! I just smiled and shook my head. I still have 9 weeks to go. Sigh.

I've decided I love being pregnant. And, Ken is the best husband and father already. He knows how to load the dishwasher, take out the trash, sweep the kitchen, keep accounts, grill, and listens to me sigh every time I roll over in bed, trying to get comfortable. Amazing. He just does these things because he sees all the work of pregnancy. I love to feel the baby moving. Her kicks and rolls that nearly take my breath away bring to reality how quickly she is growing and how full of life she is. Yes, it is difficult to take a deep breath and my back aches often, but it is so worth it.

I'll have Ken put pictures of the baby's room on the blog soon.
