I can officially mark one thing off of my never-ending pregnancy to do list- buy baby furniture. Last weekend I went to start looking for baby furniture b/c I know several friends who had to wait 2 months for their furniture to come in b/c it wasn't in stock. I completely lucked up becasue I found the furniture that I liked and it was at a discounted price because the company discontinued the color. Finding furniture I love at a deal the first time I went to look- you can't beat that!
The best part is that they had everything in stock and it is going to be delivered this Sunday! Here is a pix of the furniture in white...the set I got is antique white, but you get the idea.

Here's an update on baby: Your baby's blood circulation is completely functional. The umbilical cord system continues to grow and thicken as blood travels with considerable force through the body to nurture the baby. The placenta is now almost equal in size to the baby. As your baby begins to lay down more fat, your weight will also increase. During the next 10 weeks, you will gain about half of the total gain for your entire pregnancy. Strangers can now tell that you are pregnant! You might notice an increase in appetite because you need 500 more calories a day to support your charged up metabolism. Your baby's different organs and systems are maturing. The fetal digestive system is functioning in a simple way and your baby can swallow amniotic fluid. After your baby swallows the amniotic fluid, she is able to absorb water and sugars from the fluid. Your baby swallows the amniotic fluid in order to prepare itself for life outside of the womb. Some babies consume as much as 17 ounces of amniotic fluid in a 24-hour period. Your baby already has a high number of red blood cells and the white blood cells are beginning to be produced.
Sounds like baby's going to be growing and packing on the pounds and I have some of the same to look forward to.
