17 weeks - Almost half way?

Jeez. Who knew time went by so quickly? With Anna it felt like the pregnancy lasted forever but this time it's flying by. When I get to 20 weeks I'll be half way already. Where on earth did the time go?

I have about 4 months left at work before I go on maternity leave. I'm trying to decide whether or not I'll go and have an ultrasound done to see gender of the little bean. I called one such place today and they some kind of 4D ultrasounds that cost over 200 €. I'm beginning to think that I really don't want a 4D ultrasound....not unless it's cheap or free that is. Why can't they do it with a normal ultrasound? I'll find out eventually but the suspense is killing me.

Do I get out all the cute little girly clothes and wash them in preparation or buy little boy clothes? At this rate it looks like I'll get out the non-gender specific clothes and wash those and worry about the rest later :). I have a prenatal appointment on the 16th where they'll measure me, weigh me and prick my finger and then I'll get to hear the heartbeat. That's always my favorite part. Nothing eventful going on thankfully. The pregnancy is going along swimmingly.

They promised snow by the end of the week. Luckily the chimney is up and works beautifully and we're now waiting for the inspector to inspect the frame of the house. After that things can really start happening :). It's so exciting!
