Baby clothes

I made these onesie's a while ago, long before we were pregnant. They turned out really cute and I tucked them away. My plan was to use one of them to surprise Jeff and tell him we were pregnant (when the time came), but it didn't work out that way. Once I saw the positive pregnancy test, my plans to surprise him went out the window because I was so excited! So I finally showed them to him and he really liked them. My favorite is the one that says "Baby Mac" with Jeff's badge number on the butt :-) I saw a onesie with the phrase "I ran outta womb" on a website, and they wanted $20 for it! So, I figured I could make one just as cute!

Updates

Wow, 17 weeks already. Crazy! Finally things are moving a bit more quickly! So, for the past 3 weeks I have had really bad headaches constantly, so I called the doctor to make sure everything was okay and to check to see if it was okay to be taking Tylenol everyday. The doctor assured me that it was normal to have headaches and okay to take Tylenol. They offered to give me something a bit stronger, but I wasn't interested. The headaches have finally stopped for the most part. I have also been getting my energy back and have been getting more done around the house, thankfully!
My mom and I went shopping yesterday and I bought my first pair of maternity jeans and a shirt. UGH! The jeans look horrendous (I didn't try them on at the store)! I think I am going to take them back and exchange them. The shirt looks okay, I just need to grow a bit more to fill it out. It has been so strange watching my body grow and change.
Today we got the results back from our quad screen. It was negative, which is good! The quad screen is a test that screens for neural tube defects such as spina bifida, and chromosome abnormalities, such as downs syndrome. So we were very thankful to get the good results.

Crib and changing table

Here are some pictures from the Babies R Us website of the crib and changing table that my parents bought us. The wood in the pictures is a bit lighter then what we bought, but at least you get an idea of what they look like. I can't wait to get them set up!

The countdown

Jeff and I have been asked a lot if we have a feeling about what we are having. From the beginning, Jeff and I both thought we were having a boy. We didn't really have an explanation for it, that's just how we felt. I have recently changed my mind and now I think we are having a girl. I had 2 really vivid dreams about having a girl and bringing a girl home from the hospital. Jeff and I have only been able to come up with 2 or 3 boy names we like and zero girl names, so that could be a problem if it is a girl! From the poll on this site, it seems like all of our friends agree with Jeff that it's a boy!! So, only time will tell, Feb. 5th can't come soon enough!!

4 months already!! The pregnancy is moving along quickly. I don't think these pictures do my belly justice, it's larger in person. I am still able to wear normal clothes, I just bought jeans in a size bigger then I normally wear. My work pants are pretty tight on my belly because they are high waisted, so I just unbutton the top button once the kids go to bed. I think maternity clothes are just around the corner. Thankfully my sister in law Jamie gave me some of her clothes so I already have a couple of outfits!

Crib

For Christmas, my parents wanted to buy us a crib and changing table. Everyone knows how I like to be prepared, so no one should be surprised when I say that we went to Babies R Us today and picked out our crib, crib mattress and changing table. They are beautiful, and we can't wait to get them set up. However, we are going to wait to set them up until we know what we are having so we can paint the nursery before setting up the furniture. So we won't have any pictures of the nursery for awhile. Thanks again Mom and Dad!!

Dr. appt.

Today we had a check up with our doctor. Everything is going well and we got to hear the heartbeat again, it was as strong as ever! Our next appt. is on Feb. 5 and this is the BIG one where we will learn if we are having a boy or a girl!! Exciting! We can't wait.
