20 Day Pregnancy Challenge: Days 6-12

• Day Six: Baby’s first picture. A picture of your first ultrasound.

L.B. at 10 weeks, 2 days.

• Day Seven: Do you have a birthing plan?

Not at the moment. This is something that Husband and I are going to talk about when he comes home. I'll be about 6-7 months along by then, and much closer to actually needing one.

I had one with Bear, but that all went out the window. :/

• Day Eight: What is your biggest food craving?

Anything fruity and sweet. But not, like, cookies, or something. I like fruit flavored candy. And cereals. I just have the biggest sweet tooth with this pregnancy.

• Day Nine: What sex did/do you hope for?

We want a girl, but honestly we wouldn't mind if we were having another boy. But we really want a girl. :]

• Day Ten: A picture of your baby bump and how you feel about how you look. 

17 weeks, 4 days. 2-1-12

 I feel pretty dang good about how I look. Granted, I wasn't small before I was pregnant, but I don't think I look too horrible. :]

• Day Eleven: The baby shower: What do you plan for? Hope for?

Honestly? I'm not even expecting one. :/

• Day Twelve: How did you tell your parents the news? The baby’s dad’s parents?

A phone call. Haha. That was pretty much it. Well, we sent a picture of the pregnancy test with a caption saying "Estimated Due Date: July 2012" but we still called them. :]
 

20 Day Pregnancy Challenge: Day 2

Day Two: A picture of the father and five facts.

I love Husband's face right here. :]

• He is a United States Marine.
• He loves video games.
• He drinks Mountain Dew like water.
• When we first met, his hair was longer than mine.
• He is 3 years older than me.

 

Nursery Ideas & Toddler Rooms

Just let me make this one thing clear: I've been gathering nursery ideas for Baby since I had Bear. I LOVE planning out nurseries. It's so much fun!

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, time to share some of the ideas I've been hoarding in my noggin.

I also think I am going to make a lot of the bedding. Or at least try to. I already have a pattern for a minky crib sheet. Plus, I've made a quilt before, so I know I can do that, too.

Also, in the middle of doing this, I'm going to be updating Bear's room, too. Make it less animal themed and more animal accented. He's even going to be getting a blanket crocheted by Mommy. :]

I really can't wait to get started on all of this. It's going to be so much fun!

There's A Baby In There!

We found out the awesome news on 11-11-11. It was like a wish come true. 

I'm still recovering from surgery, and I still have to get a T-Tube taken out of my abdomen. 

Husband is being quite the trooper. He refuses to let me do anything strenuous. Well, he was like that before, but now that we're pregnant, he is extra stern about it.

Bear still has no idea what is going on. I wouldn't really expect a 15 month old to grasp the "new baby" thing now, though. Not until Baby is here, anyway.

We still have to go to the OB/GYN, but from the whole "calculate from the first day of your last period" thing, I'm due in July, which makes me about 6 weeks. We'll see for sure when we go to the doctor.
