27 WEEKS

It has been a good week for us!  Last weekend, we ventured to the Antique Gallery and found a vintage buffet to use in Ellie's room as the changing table/dresser.  It is perfect and we are so excited!  Also, my mom & dad graciously purchased the crib and mattress for our little lady which came in this week.  I had to work a little late last night and by the time I got home, the crib was assembled and in its place.  My husband is amazing!

I am not posting pictures of these items yet as I want to wait until the room is finished to give you the full effect! Sorry ... hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.

Week 27 has brought with it the lovely heart-burn that I've heard so much about.  Supposedly women who experience more indigestion while they are pregnant give birth to babies with a full head of hair.  I don't know if that's true or not, but I know one thing for sure ... what hair my baby has will be white as cotton!  Tyler and I were both cotton-heads as children.  

Exhibit A ...

Well, here we are at 27 weeks and finishing out the second trimester!  I can't believe that in 3 short months I will have a little girl. AND two years after that she will look like a mixture of the above exhibits!!  God is good.
