Cool Room Designer Site

I found this cool site where you can design your own baby room. It's called Rooms By You, you can choose from all types of fabrics and wall colors.  Here's what i put together for our little girls room. Of course it's not exactly how it will look, but it's pretty much my inspiration. As you can see...no pink! I'm not totally against pink, i know we'll get tons of pink girly clothes and toys, but for her room i'm using very little if any of it. I feel like it's just typical to do a girls room in pink and i'm always trying to do things a little different. Anyway...see what you think!

Ultrasound Results..

1 More day of the Unknown...hopefully!

Hopefully tomorrow is the last day we'll have a mystery baby! Friday is our ultrasound appt...i'm hoping so bad the baby will show us his/her goodies so we can see who's in there!! :-) 

I'm can't wait!

Week 18!

I'm in my 18th week now...almost half way! This weekend we made our first trip to Babies R Us! We took a look at strollers. It's amazing how different they all are..different weights, different ways the carseat fits into it, and different ways it folds up. Thankfully, we were able to narrow it down to a brand that we like. We also took a look at gliders. Those too go from very simple to very elaborate. We left with our first baby purchase...diapers of course! We're planning on stocking up on diapers so we have a few months worth. It's easier to get them now when they're on sale!

Friday is the big day! We have our ultrasound and hopefully baby will show us his/her goodies so we can see what gender is in there. I can't wait to start planning the room colors and picking fabrics. I'm planning on making  the baby bedding and curtains myself so i can get the look i want.

How far along? 18 weeks

So, i had my monthly checkup today at the doctors. Everything is going great, the heartbeat was 156 and i'm up 5 lbs. Not too much else is new around here. We organized and cleaned the basement. We need to move our office down there to clean out the baby's room. I think we're pretty much ahead of schedule so far. Next up, is we're getting new carpet upstairs. After that we just start stocking up on baby stuff! I'm excited to be able to pick out gender appropriate stuff and focus in on a name! It seemed like the first few months really crawled by, but time seems to be going faster now! I'm almost at the halfway mark! 

Well stay tuned for the gender announcement! What do you think it will be?
