28 weeks & new flooring

I went to the doctor last week on Thursday. Since Aaron started softball last week, he could not attend. I am going to try somehow to schedule my appointments around that schedule but it may be tough since I am going now every 2 weeks! As of last week, I have only gained 14 lbs! :) I have to go back this Wednesday because they forgot to give me the glucose drink at my last visit! Things are going well...minus the painful heartburn!!!!, minor back aches and exhaustion!
Tonight we have been taking everything out of the dining room and taking up the carpet and padding because Aaron and my dad are putting in laminate flooring on Wednesday! I'm excited! Tomorrow night, we will be taking up more carpet and padding from the living room.

Next week, we will be getting the crib and changing table. I'll put up some pictures of the nursery then! :)

Week 26

Nothing really new to report. On Saturday morning about 5am, I could feel the baby moving around. I woke up Aaron and told him where to put his hand on my belly. This was the first time he actually felt the baby move. I don't feel the baby move too often. Maybe he's just a tiny thing or sleepy like his mommy! :)
We started the new semester about a week and a half ago. Somehow, I landed teaching in 3 different classrooms. Therefore, I live off of a cart. Not where I saw myself as a 4th year teacher! I am having to be OVERLY organized! I'll keep you up to date as to how this is affecting my body! I made a countdown chart on my cart. 14 more weeks till the due date. I haven't decided if I am going to leave a week or more early. I see that countdown everyday and I really use that as motivation to get through the semester! At least I get to leave a few weeks early! ;)
I have had some trouble with my camera so I haven't really taken any belly pictures. I hope to get some up soon. I go back to the doctor on the 14th. I'm sure from here on out I'll have to go to the doctor without Aaron, since softball starts on the 11th. And soon I'll start going every 2 weeks! Crazy!
We have decided on the crib and changing table! We got some decent Babiesrus coupons that start towards to end of the month so we'll use those then! We are planning to use a dresser that I had when I was in college. Mom is going to buy the bedding tomorrow. Once she does that, we are going to choose the light blue paint color to match the quilt. We've talked about painting this weekend, but nothing as been finalized. I'll put some pictures up once that happens.

Christmas

Christmas Eve Smithfield, NC

Christmas Day at the rents house















Visiting Aaron's Ggpa in VA










A Blue Weekend

Aaron and I enjoyed registering over the weekend at BabiesRUs and Target. Aaron was in charge of "scanning" items, and there were times when he didn't want to scan items of my choice! I don't think he thought about the fact that I can go online and add things! ;) You can check out the links to the registries on the left. We haven't decided on bedding and nursery stuff. I am hoping to head out to Pottery Barn Kids before I make any final decisions.

This past Saturday was the first time I felt the baby move, and knew for sure it was the baby. I even saw my stomach moving so I made Aaron stare at it. Then nothing happened! I've been having this random pain on my right side/back. Could it be my kidney or just random pains related to pregnancy?

Yesterday, I helped with Katie's baby shower. It got me in more of a mood for boy stuff. She's having a boy in March. Not to mention almost everyone I know is having a boy. Crazy. As we walked through Target on Saturday, I told Aaron that I was nervous about having a boy. I don't know what it's like to be a boy. He assured me that he does! :) I cannot imagine being a single parent and/or raising a child of the opposite sex by yourself!! I'm excited to see Aaron in action. He is so good with other people's children, and I would expect nothing less from him.

I bet you want to ask...No we haven't decided on a name yet. I had pink on the brain so this is a big shift in thinking. I'll let you know when we finally decide! I'll accept suggestions!

It's a BOY!!!


It's offical...We finallllllly know the sex of our silly baby! :) I am still in a bit of shock considering I was really thinking the baby was a girl. But we saw the parts for ourselves. If you click on the link-It's a BOY!!!-at the top, then you can see pictures from today's ultrasound. My future even Meredith Angel turned into a Wolfpacker! I am excited to finally begin choosing stuff for the nursery!!! and registering too!!!
