Baby's room

So we've been working hard the last few weekends on the baby's room...it's finally done (at least the painting part). We still need to get a dresser for the room and maybe a rocker but everything is good to go! 

We're starting to get excited and can't wait to meet our new addition!!!

Of course Gracie had to be in the picture. She was checking out the new stuff!

We heart the monkeys!

A little cubby for the baby's books and toys. Right now, it's just holding all baby stuff until we get a dresser!

Week 24!

Today, I'm 24 weeks! This is a milestone week because it's the point where the baby is fully formed and has a chance of survival outside of the womb (with assistance of course). I def don't want the baby out this early by any means but it just gives a little bit more comfort that we've gotten this far!

 

Also, the nursery is almost done! Spent a few days getting high on paint fumes (with the doctors approval of course) and it's coming along. We have a few more touches but you can definitely see the progress!

I'll be excited when we get the bedding in the crib!

Delan actually felt a true kick the other day...he laid his head on my stomach and the baby kicked him him the ear! LOL. We also settled on a wedding date :-D 9/22/12! Gives us time to get through the baby's first year and plan for a decent wedding. 

Here is this week's belly picture! Don't mind the hair, I'm about to straighten it :-)

Until next time!

Almost 23!

I'm almost 23 weeks now and some cool stuff has happened!

First, just went back to work on Tuesday from the long Christmas break. What a challenge it was to get back into the swing of things!  I was in a meeting on Wednesday and I noticed my little salsa dancer was practicing a few moves...A LOT. So I started to watch my tummy and I saw it move from a kick/punch! It was very cool! I've been noticing that more and more since then.

I had a doctor appointment on Friday and everything is looking great! My uterus is measuring on target, I've gained 18 lbs <sad face> and I have one more appointment before I start going bi-weekly! At my next appointment, I get to have all kind of things done! I have my glucose screening for gestational diabetes as well as a Rhogam shot because my blood type is O-. This shot helps protect the baby and me in the event our blood mixes during delivery because if the baby has a positive blood type, my body will freak out.

Other than that, everything is pretty normal...hoping to get the nursery finished by next weekend.  It's already taped up, we just need to actually start painting! (which I hope to start today since it's gross out and a great day for indoor activity). 

Daycare...UGH. We are trying figure out what we're going to do for daycare. I can't believe how expensive it is but we'll figure it out.  I'm also trying to slyly monitor the baby shower plans that Mom and Sara are conjuring up...which will be either the end of March or early April, so keep an eye out for that.

In other news, we're also thinking about the WEDDING!! We decided to hold off until 2012, probably the fall, so we only have to focus on one thing at a time. Plus, I want to be able to plan it and have something a little decent. It'll probably be something small with family and close friends. Look out for more details to come and our theknot.com website as we begin planning!

Until next time!

Happy New Year!!!

So much has happened in 2010 that I have to be thankful for...I started off the year with a new job, had a few trials and tribulations in the middle, and ended the year with the news of our little miracle and a RING!

Delan proposed last night shortly before we left to go over his mom's house for NYE...it was so perfect!

 

I also got a beautiful gift from Sara for the baby that I forgot to post!

Now it's back to reality...I have my monthly doctor appt Friday next week and I go back to work on Tuesday...I hope I remember how to drive in HAHA!

I wish everyone the best for their 2011!!!!!
