Week 17

Week 17...a turnip? I'm enjoying these baby/produce comparisons.

I dreamt last night we had a baby boy and I couldn't figure out how to use the cloth diapers we had. Which is exactly why I've picked out ones already shaped like diapers with Velcro, dealing with those safety pins in a dream was enough to drive me crazy. We also didn't have a crib so we just put the baby in middle of a large king bed, and he kept almost rolling off, what a nightmare. That's so like me to have worrisome dreams about things on my checklist I haven't gotten to yet. I guess it's a reminder to meet with the Tidee Didee Diaper company this week.  

Baby room ideas

Here's a sneak peak at some baby decor I've been digitally collecting. Our next ultrasound is schedule for November 29th, hopefully we'll be able to tell the sex and I can start shopping for this room.

Week 16

Baby's now about the size of an avocado (about 5 inches), hopefully it's not green too.



The BOB

Ben and I bought our first baby item last weekend. As soon as we pushed the BOB stroller around REI we were hooked. Perfect for jogging and day to day use. I really want to test it out on Spring Water Trail but dodn't want to look too crazy, guess I'll have to wait.

Week 15

We're now in week 15, almost 4 months. wow. Finally got my act together and took some belly shots. "Morning" sickness is almost completely gone, and replaced with heartburn and headaches, I'll take it over vomiting any day. Now that I'm feeling somewhat back to normal looking forward to decorating for Halloween this weekend, maybe doing some yard work and watching my fantasy football team dominate against the little bro (sorry Jordan)!

   

We're having a baby!!

The rumors are true, we're having a baby. Our little munchkin is due April 12, 2011. That puts us at 14 weeks today and offically in our second trimester.

Here are some ultrasound photos from September 13 (end of week 10). We get to find out if our baby is a boy or girl at the 20 week ultrasound.

30 before 30 list

I've been working on a "30 before I'm 30 list" (inspired by Nicole Balch over at Making it Lovely). The list is a combination of projects around the house, adventures and goals. Some should be very easy to accomplish, like framing (and hanging) Jordan's senior year photo. I have the photo, the frame, and even the spot picked out on the wall but for some reason two years later it's still stored away in our office. There are also some more challenging things on the list like remodeling the bathroom and refinishing the floors, but I figure 2 years and a half years is plenty of time...
