STOP THE INSANITY
So now that we know this is a boy and we kinda have a name picked out for him it is very easy to sit and daydream about him and what he will be like. AND it makes me want to get everything ready for when he comes RIGHT NOW. Like I said in a previous post it has been so much fun for me to go into stores looking for little boy clothes- it is SO much different than all of the pink we are used to! However, with everything I have bought and then the things that Meema and Aunt Jaime are adding to it his closet shelf is filling up fast!
Some of the stuff is just hard to resist. We knew he needed an outfit to come home in and Gymboree had the MOST adorable little dog outfit with matching hat so here is what he will be wearing home from the hospital:
And then I have to say my heart melted when I saw this one:
That will definitely be one that Daddy favors with the little owls on it :) We also found a great deal on a bassinet on Craigslist so we got it all washed and cleaned up to go in our room:
We did decide on the crib bedding and it came last week. Here is a link: http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/lai/lai12006v.html
The plan is for Meema to whisk Lily away for a weekend in September and when she comes home her lavender room will be transformed into a jungle room for the both of them. She is so so excited about a baby brother so I hope that she is ok with that!
I have run out of things to buy that we NEED. The girls at work are going to do a little shower for me so I know I will be all set on clothes and things and we have all the necessities from Lily so now all we do is enjoy this time and wait :) We have been having such a leisurely summer with days at the pool and family time.
Oh, and BTW we had a dr appt last week and will tentatively schedule this guys arrival for October 13th (unless of course he has other plans). Those of you who want to visit around then let me know so we can coordinate all of the help :)

HALFWAY!!!
It is SO hard to believe that we are halfway through this pregnancy- it really is going by quickly! I don't feel like I am even showing at all really- I am not really wearing maternity clothes yet so unless I am wearing a fitted shirt I look like I might just be a little soft around the middle :) Im sure I will pop out sometime in the next few weeks though.
I have been feeling this little guy alot more frequently- I first felt him about 3 weeks ago but it was just tiny flutters. Now I feel what seems to be turns and somersalts in there. In fact, I woke Corey up a few mornings ago because he was literally kicking me awake so I put Corey's hand on my belly and he was able to feel him in there thumping away as well :)
I am trying to truly enjoy this pregnancy and savor all of it- the good and the uncomfortable that is to come. This is for SURE our last one- I will be getting "tied up" when I deliver this one so he will definitely be completing our family. I can't believe how excited I am to have a little boy- I never imagined myself with a little boy but now as I shop for little clothes with dinosaurs and trucks on them I just can't wait to meet this little guy! Lily might be the most excited of us all; she is constantly wanting to kiss "my brudda" and always says goodnight with "Goodnight Mommy, Goodnight baby brudda". Makes my heart want to just explode in a million pieces.
Here is what is going on with little one this week:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).See what your baby looks like this week.
