Getting ready for baby!

So, I know I still have 15 weeks left, but I am so excited that I already have a lot of stuff ready! I think I am already in "nesting" mode. The past couple of weeks I have been working on making crib bedding and stuff, and I finished it up on Saturday! It turned out exactly how I wanted! I love it, and can't wait til I can put our precious little baby in his crib!

I also found this changing table on craigs list for $35 that I painted black (of course....I paint everyhting black, I know I'm boring), anyways I painted the knobs periwinkle blue to match and found a changing pad cover to match.

Here is the before

and here is the after

And here they are together!

25 weeks down, 15 to go!

I'll post a belly pic next week,

I can't tell if it has grown that much or not until I have pictures to compare!

Another New Nephew!

We have another new nephew! Branden's sister Cyndi and her husband Judd had their baby boy this morning, he is their first baby. They named him after Branden! He is so cute! Here he is!

22 Weeks!

I had another doctor's appointment today, and I am 22 weeks now. This appointment he basically just told me that the blood tests for the diferent diseases and stuff were all negative and that the ultrasound looked good, so basically our baby boy seems to be perfectly healthy! Some other stats for my records: total wieght gain so far 4 pounds, baby's heart rate 136, tummy circumference 33". I'm not looking forward to the next appointment for one reason...I have to do the test for gestational diabetes, so I have to drink some nasty stuff and then get my blood drawn.

Other than that, I am having fun shopping for the baby, and trying to get everything ready, even though I have 3 more months! I'm excited also because I found some cute fabric that I am going to make the crib bedding out of! Anyways, here is a belly shot....I think this picture looks bigger than I really am...maybe not, I don't know! But he sure has grown a lot since my 18 week picture which I put below for comparison, and I haven't put that picutre on here yet.

Have a nice day :)

It's a.........BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

It feels SO good to finally know what we are having!!!

We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby boy!

Here are some cute ultrasound pics!
The ultrasound tech couldn't tell us much, but everything looked okay to me. I have an appointment next week and the doctor will go over everything then.
But now I can start shopping!! Actually I already bought some stuff today = )

Branden's Birthday!

Yesterday was Branden's 29th Birthday! Crazy, I can't believe he is that old!

I feel bad because monday night he had to sleep outside for military training and he didn't get back until 10:00PM last night, so we didn't get to do anything for his birthday. We did celebrate his birthday a little bit on Sunday with our friends the Davis', they invited us over for dinner and I just made him a cake and we sang to him and played Zarahemla.

I think Branden might have a 4 day weekend this weekend so hopefully we can celebrate more this weekend. And we find out what we are having tomorrow, so we can celebrate that too!!!

Happy Birthday Branden!

I love you!
