18 Weeks

Baby Connell is the size of a large sweet potato, Mama Connell has been applying Body Shop Cocoa Butter to her belly nightly to ward off the stretch marks and since Nan & Pop Kennedy visited, Papa Connell lost the battle of the nursery bedding.

Mama Connell - 1
Papa Connell - 0

This is the bedding that we (Judes and I) love. We're hoping to buy it after Christmas before Owen can come up with anymore brilliant bedding ideas!



Other than the bedding battle victory, not much to report this pregnancy week. We have another ultrasound this coming Tuesday so there will be a new picture of Junior to post. Apparently over the next 3 weeks the baby will double in size which is incredible. This ultrasound is anatomical and it's to make sure that the baby is growing in all the right places. It will also firm up my due date. Owen's still hoping for St. Patty's Day while I think March 8th would be nice as it is both our father's birthday's. Then again, maybe Junior will want a day all to him/herself.

What I'm Listening To: You Wouldn't Like Me - Tegan & Sara (thanks Joanne P.!)

Love the bedding - so very cute and gender appropriate... hopefully baby Connell will actually sleep in it!!!

It is gorgeous, cute yet not over the top cute and no frou frou ( you know my stand on frou frou). Congrats on your victory. If you stick to your guns...baby will love it too and sleep in it every night, all night long!

I'm very pleased that you're sharing Tegan and Sara with baby Connell! Boy or Girl they will definitely have good taste in music!
As for the bedding...it's beautiful! But I do see Owen's point on this too. I mean really, how much sleep will he/she get in it? But who knows, maybe that design will sing sweet lullaby's.
