A Rose by Any Other Name...

Rob and I have now been thinking of names for about 4 months and haven't decided on anything definatively, so we are asking people to send us suggestions for both boys and girls names as we have no idea what sex our baby will be :)

17 Weeks

The nerve pain has gone! Yay! I am only having muscle soreness now if I do too much ie walk around all day and don't sit down and have breaks reagularly. The nerve pain disappeared when I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs. Its annoying because everytime I turn over at night I have to rearrange myself, but still better than nerve pain by a long shot.

Still wanting to drink OJ by the bucket load, but only Nippy's, the other brands don't taste fresh enough. Weight: 53.8kg (?? lost 100g - have weighed myself several times to check this, definately eating just as much as always, eating habits haven't changed)

The Nursery

My brother who had been living with us has moved out into his own place, so we decided to paint the room while it was empty and started to put all of the baby stuff we have already accumulated in there. My dad came down to paint for us which was very nice as I am not allowed to paint (or stand on a chair or do ANYTHING just about seems like) and Rob was really busy with end of term Uni stuff, so thanks Dad :)
We decided to go with green, apparently the most relaxing colour and I like green. Ironically the colour is just about exactly the same colour green I had in my nursery when I was a baby in the 70's. One exception, there will be no 70's animal wall paper in this room...ever. I am trying to steer fairly clear of baby animals in general, no teddy fabric, baby animal clothing, etc etc. Just not my thing. I have bought some material to make the valance and stuff for the cot, apparently everything you buy has some animals on it in this country. And I found some cot sheets that are a miniature of our sheets (white cotton/sateen stripe). Hooray! Now I just have to find time to sew the material.
Rob and Dad have put together the furniture we have for the nursery and it looks good so far. We only have a few bits a pieces to get until we are set to go.
Very happy with the semi-finished nursery so far. Will continue to look out for bits and pieces as we still have a fair bit of time to go.

16 Weeks

Chiropractor just before Easter seemed to make the nerve pain worse for about 3 days. Will be cancelling the next appointment with them. Found a great chair in Waikerie over Easter at the Chocolate shop, really ugly, but perfect posture chair...considered walking out with the chair :) Getting desperate. Weight 53.9kg (didn't even put weight on over Easter?!) Haven't been super keen on chocolate this year for Easter, too sweet.

15 Weeks

Sorry to everyone who has been waiting for more updates, our computer died and had trouble getting photos onto the computer. Anyway it is fixed now so here is a bit of a catch up.

Developed some nerve pain in week 15, was very uncomfortable to move/sit/lie down etc. Weight: 53.9kg.
