It’s hard to believe that another week has gone by and it’s already time for another update!
3\4 of a pound sounds so big to me, even though I know he still has a looooong way to go. They say that by now the baby is fully developed, and he pretty much just needs to hang out and grow!
After last week’s doctor appointment, it was confirmed that Roberto sure is growing. What a good boy he is! 
Let’s see what he’s up to!
***********************************************************************************************
As his digestive system preps for the outside world, he’s manufacturing meconium — the tarry black substance you’ll find in his first dirty diaper (ew)!
He’s big enough to where you should feel his movements more and more!

What’s New?
Total weight gain: No weight gain this week so I’m still at 6 pounds.
Exciting Moment:We had our 20 week anatomy scan last week. Everything looked great with baby Roberto, which was great news!
Cravings: CHEESECAKE! I had a major sweet tooth last week! I did pretty good at eating healthy treats throughout the week, but Saturday night I indulged and shared some cheesecake with Rinaldo. It was good!
Movement: I’m feeling Roberto move around more and more which is fun. Sometimes you can see the movement from outside my belly if you look close. Rinaldo got to feel him move once this weekend, which was exciting!
How I’m Feeling
Feeling good! It was a relief to hear that Roberto is growing well at our ultrasound appointment last week. In fact, he’s measuring 4 days ahead of schedule! Since my weight gain hasn’t been much and has been occurring slowly, that put my mind at ease and let me know that the he sure is growing!
I’ve had great energy levels all week and continue to feel like myself. We got so much done around house last week, including some touches on the nursery.
Last time I talked about the nursery, I said that we weren’t going to paint the walls.
Well, we changed our minds and I’m SO glad that we did! The new teal\aqua color totally brightened up the room and made it feel so happy & cheery!
Here’s a sneak peak!
Our official color scheme is a light teal\aqua, orange & green! I love it!
Rinaldo hung up the window valances yesterday, and I think they look really cute. I didn’t get great pictures, but there are little lions on them!
I got them on ebay for $14 a piece! What a deal!
We ordered the furniture a few weeks ago, but we won’t get it until sometime in June. We ended up going with the medium cherry wood color instead of the white. We noticed that the white paint on the piece they had on display was already chipping, so we decided against it.
We put some shelves in his closet and started to fill it up with his little clothes!
Well I guess that’s it for this week’s update!
I have a busy week ahead of me. Rinaldo & I will be hosting Easter at our home again this year and I have lots to get done!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
What are your Easter plans?
