Well we have 129 days to go until we meet out little guy! I am now approaching 22 weeks, which is so crazy to me. It has all gone by so fast! A lot has gone on since the last posting. I am now starting to really grow, even though, as of Friday I had only gained a pound and a half total. The doctor assured me that all of my measurements were right on track, so she wasn't worried about the little weight gain. I had actually lost 3 pounds in the first trimester and have gained 4.5 lbs. since then.
We have picked out, ordered and picked up our crib and dresser set. We ended up ordering them from babies r us. They're prices are pretty average and with them being so close, we just decided we would order both pieces there. We walked out of there with a killer deal and 2 pieces of beautiful furniture! So next order of business is painting the room. We've decided to keep the walls the "nude" color that the rest of the house is, in the event that we decide to move and rent it, we won't have to paint again. So once we do that, we'll be able to assemble the crib and have our first two things in our little boy's nursery!
I have also started our baby registery. Oh man, it's so overwhelming! There is so much stuff we need! In the next few weeks the two of us will go into the store to register for the last final things. The things that we need to physically look at (stroller, car seat, etc.).
We are also working out the details for our co-ed baby shower. I am greatful to have so many loving and caring family and friends that have offered to help out. I can't wait to have everyone together to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our baby boy!
As you all know, both Dusty and I are HUGE sports fanatics. So Grandma Pipkin :) and I were at the mall a couple of weeks ago and I picked out a "My first Lakers tee" shirt and a cowboys bib. SO cute! This little boy is going to be SO sportsed out! Dusty even jokes about how he's going to teach him to throw with his left hand and his left hand ONLY, so that he can become a lefty pitcher in the big leagues! LOL
We have been throwing around names for a while now and have agreed on one so far. We haven't comfirmed it yet, but once we do, I'll announce it to everyone :)
The last couple of weeks I have really been able to feel the "fluttering". It's such a neat feeling to be able to feel the little one moving around so much. He already is so active. I'm enjoying it now while it's so light because I know when he starts getting bigger and really kicking, it will be hard to sleep... oh the joys :)
And I think that's all for now. I'll continue to post more belly shots as I get further and further along. Much love to all!
