Baby's room part 2

So Nate was busy working away on the baby's room this last month and we are starting to see the transformation. We love the way the wall paneling Nate did turned out! I am so lucky to have such an awesomely handy husband who loves working on projects. He took this on with so much pride and it shows. We look forward to continue setting up this baby's room with all the special touches and needs a baby has. I look forward to the day when all the diapers are lined up in a row ready for use (yes, I am sure that feeling may fade but come on, can you blame me for being excited about baby poopie diapers ;)) and the precious smell of baby fills this room!

23 Weeks

The baby bump is growing!! Here is a quick picture of my belly at 23 weeks. Time sure seems to be flying by. Baby is kicking up a storm and can be felt now on the outside of my belly if timed just right. ;) I have one active boy in there already!

23 Weeks!

20 Weeks

I am officially 20 weeks, halfway through and still loving pregnancy. This has been such a great ride so far and now I look forward to the last half. We found out the week before Christmas that we are having a BOY! No true surprise there as we all had a very strong hunch this special baby was to be a boy. However it is always nice to have the confirmation. I have been feeling the baby flutter since about 16 weeks however just this last week both Nate and I felt the baby kick for the 1st time on the outside of my belly. It was a really neat feeling. The look on Nate's face was priceless. He was so happy he got to feel his son say hi! Nate and I just contemplate with excitement the day we will get to meet our son! Now on to the fun of naming our child. So not as easy as I ever imagined.

Nate has been busy working away on the baby's room and I have been busy trying to keep the mess/dust at a minimum(so not an easy task). I will post some sneak peak pictures soon.

We had our big 20 week ultrasound this Friday and it was such a joy to see our little guy moving around as well as a very through ultrasound tech who said everything looked great! Hearing those words are so comforting as they look at everything imaginable. I mean I didn't know they could literally show us the blood flowing through the umbilical cord and the 4 chambers of the heart. AMAZING!

I feel so overwhelmed with how I can love this precious baby of ours so much already. The want and urge to nurture and protect my little one has already set in and I just can't wait for the day I can hold him in my arms. Oh what a special day that we be!
