It's Friday, I'm in LoVE!!! #41 + Belly Pic!

Today I am very proud of myself; I have done a lot of things in January.

1. I can finally see that I am a FREAKING VENUS. I feel like Venus herself in Botticelli's painting especially when I am... ahem, nuuuude.
2. I set and exceeded my pageview goal for the blog this month. I actually exceeded page views for any period of 30 days this month since I have been blogging. WOAH.
3. I blame #2 on solid, original, and desirable content (for once...) that I produced.
4. I connected with a lot of people this month. We hung out with our friends and family, had people over for dinner, and it was great!

If you missed last week's LoVE feature, check it out!
So what are you proud of that you got done last month?

23 Weeks Pregnant

Baby is rolling, kicking and punching like crazy! Shawn feels him or her very often now and we can see the jabs on the outside, too. Baby is definitely getting bigger; the kicks s/he sends me directly to my pelvis bone feel so heavy and strong, especially compared to the little pokes and flutters of weeks gone by. I also enjoy gently pressing against one side of my belly and feeling the other end of the baby poke out the other side of my belly. S/he is getting so much longer!
I am so glad for the reassurance I get from the movements and for the connection it makes me feel to the baby... even though I am still in heavy denial that all mammals give live birth to a baby of their likeness.

We're still getting ready for baby; we may have picked a blue nursery paint color! I also can't stop myself from working my baby hoodie pattern into a stack of hoodies so I started making bigger sizes, like 18-month for after the baby is (gasp!) 1 year old and needs sweaters. Here's a swatch!

50 Shades of... Blue

I am virtually sitting in a pile of paint strips. All of them are blue.
I say virtually because they're all in a pile on the Pinterest Baby board.

No, we didn't have another ultrasound and see anything... We just like blue. My nursery was blue and I just really love the look of it with the rug for the baby room we bought, so blue is the color we'll paint the walls.

If you all would be so kind as to stroll through the colors below and vote on one at the end, it would be very appreciated!
Here is the reference photo of the rug:
