Crib is Here!

We picked up our crib yesterday and put it together. I love it! It looks black in the picture, but it's actually dark brown (espresso). We have to wait for 10-12 weeks before we get the dresser. But that's OK, I got a great deal and it's worth the wait. The room is starting to look like a nursery! Now I am getting the decorating bug. Jesse beware!

21 Weeks and 3 Days

Here is my most current belly shot. I feel like I am getting big...even though people can't believe it when I tell them how far along I am! When I ordered my crib this weekend, the lady even asked if it was for me!! I am now feeling the baby kick all the time. She went from a ballet dancer to a soccer player in a matter of days! Jesse even got to feel two good kicks last night! I ordered the crib and dresser this weekend and hope to order the bedding soon as well. I am so excited to get going on the nursery. When I was 20 weeks I thought, OK...I have 20 weeks to get this all done. Then when I hit 21 weeks and only had 19 weeks left, my panic set it! I finished my registry this weekend and had lots of fun doing it. Feel free to check it out at Babies-R-Us and Target and tell me what I am missing!

Doctor's Appointment

I had my monthly check up today. Everything went great! She had a chance to look over my anatomy scan and said that everything looked wonderful. I asked her if she was SURE it was a girl, and she assured me that it was. She said that she has never been wrong before and that it was one of her biggest fears to tell the parents the wrong gender. We also got the 2nd set of results back from our Sequential Scan. These results mirrored the 1st set as "perfect". I feel so blessed to have such a healthy baby. You could drive yourself crazy with stress and worry. Babies heart rate was 158 and she was moving all over the place! I am getting ready to start registering next week. Now the fun begins! Of course the first thing I plan to buy is a little outfit =).

Baby Girl

Well, the wait is over. We are having a baby GIRL! We got a great shot between the legs! She is measuring right on schedule and weighs 10oz. We got to see the major organs and bone structure and everything looks good. I have warned Jesse about the clothes obsession that might develop over the next few months. I will post pics tomorrow. The baby was curled up in a little ball, so we didn't get too many. I have to go back at 25 weeks to get some more pictures of the heart, so hopefully we will get some good ones then!

Baby Brain

Well, I think I have officially lost my mind. Blame it on the baby. I tell my students that the baby is taking all of my brain cells, so go easy on me! It seems that everyday I have a new story...like getting to school and realizing I packed two lunches or after having to go to Target 3 times to get a new bra and exchanging it once, coming home with the same size again!! I guess I will just have to laugh at myself. Other then that, I am trying to decide if I am feeling the baby or gas bubbles. I can't wait till I know for sure. We are so excited for our appointment on Friday. I will update everyone ASAP!
