22 Weeks

It's been a good couple of weeks. It's getting really hot though and I can't imagine how in the world I'll be feeling in August. Ugh! Today I bought the paint for the nursery. It's very "lavender" but it matches perfectly with the color I was trying to match in the bedding. I painted a little bit of the trim, but I'm sure until it's all painted, we won't get the full effect. Let's hope I love it!
