We are at 27 weeks 2 days already! I am starting to get nervous as we have less than three months left until your due date.


We have your crib set up in Halley and your room. Your grandma Paula is getting us your mattress and so we should have that soon. Your great Aunt Mary Ann got your crib bedding but it is at her house until we have a chance to get it from her. Also, we are getting a dresser from Great Gramma and a glider rocker from Gramma Karen that she has in storage. Your Auntie Brandi has offered to buy us your car seat and stroller so we are very grateful for that.

I am not sure what we need yet. Obviously clothes, but I am planning on buying a lot at garage sales and waiting until after my baby shower to see what we will still need. Becca from work is throwing us a baby shower for my work friends and I am so excited to hang out with everyone outside of work.

Yep, I'm 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant! According to "The Bump" you are roughly the size of a papaya. We found out several weeks ago that you are a boy! And at the ultrasound they guessed you were about a pound in weight. Ahh! I felt you move for the first time on Valentine's Day. I was standing at clinical at Covenant and leaning my belly against this fold-down table thing and I couldn't figure out what the heck it was. Then, it dawned on me! I don't even know how to describe the first time I felt it. Since then, I have been able to feel you with increased intensity. Usually I feel it a lot midmorning and later at night. Your dad was able to feel you move from outside my tummy on 2/25 I believe it was. Sometimes when I feel you move I feel like I am getting seasick. It feels like my stomach is flip-flopping. It is the weirdest thing. All in all, I love being pregnant with you. I love when I forget and then you start to move and for a second I freak out until I remember it's just my baby boy wiggling around in there.

Pregnant!

I found out at about 1 (and 2) this morning. I had been nauseous yesterday morning so that caused me to suspect something. Last night I went to get groceries and on a whim stopped and bought 3 tests. I came home and AJ and I watched a few episodes of Nip/Tuck. It was 1:09AM when he went in to bed and I was following him when I caved and took a test. I saw the two lines popping up and I couldn't believe it! I sat there in the bathroom for a minute trying to collect myself. Then I went into the bedroom and sat on the bed next to AJ. I was kind of laughing, kind of tearing up. After a minute he said, "Are you prego?" and I said, "YES!" He immediately got this huge grin on his face, although I think he had a hard time fathoming at first. He said, "Go take another one!" LOL. I did take another, and sure enough, 2 lines of pink showed up right away!


I am so excited and very nervous hehe. I have dreamed of this for so long and it is hard to wrap my brain around that it is actually happening! I am pretty sure Baby J is to be expected in June 2011.
