Nikes

I bought the cutest shoes today, so I just had to share. Both are used and both were $10. They both look brand new though. Seriously, how long does a baby wear shoes. Not long enough to buy brand new Nikes, I say. 

The red pair is a 2.5 and the blue pair is a 4. So CUTE!

Basement Guestroom

Our current guestroom is going to be the nursery so we decided to turn half of the basement into a guestroom. Here are the before and after pictures.

Yikes. I am a bad blogger. I have a million things to blog about too, but am just lazy I suppose.

I think I'll just do a big picture post to get caught up.

My mom and I made 20 burp cloths. I used flannel on one side and minky on the other. We made three different sizes.

Put away. They still need washed, but I wanted to see how they fit in the dresser.

Here are the diapers I have so far. I spent the whole afternoon prepping them.

THX Newborn All in Ones

Velcro Alva Newborn

The first four are Grovia and then 7 JC Trade and the black is Alva

Our guest room in the basement will be finished tomorrow, so I'll blog about that later this week. The crib and both dressers are set up. They just need rearranged in the nursery after we move out the guest room furniture. 

We registered on Saturday at Babies R Us. That was a lot of fun. My first shower is in exactly two months! I can't wait.

I don't think I ever blogged about the anatomy scan either. Everything was great. We had to go two times, because the first time their machine wasn't working and she could only see the heart and limbs. The next time was so much better. We got to see baby for an hour and a half and everything was perfect. His little legs were measuring a week behind and his big ol belly was measuring two weeks ahead. We've got a short fat baby right now. Sucha cutie.

Cute little nose, puckered lips and skinny neck : )

And finally, since this post isn't long enough, here are some pictures of a couple things we've gotten lately from other people.

He has so many shoes

Little peacoat!

I can't wait to have the dressers situated so I can organize.

I think I am now finally caught up!

We have a crib!

Chris put our crib together yesterday!

How much packaging does one crib need?!

Tons of packaging!

Putting together a crib tires Whiskey out.

Crib and dresser!

Dresser!

We just have one more dresser to put in the nursery and then all the furniture will be in there! The crib and dresser will need to be moved around, but there is still a guest bed in there that needs to be moved before we can arrange everything. Basement work is supposed to start next week, fingers crossed! I am so ready to have that done so I can get serious about the nursery.

18 & 19 Bump

Week: 19

How Big is Baby: Baby is the size of a mango! The bump says "At about 6.0 inches long and weighing in at about 8.5 ounces, she's getting there! Developing a protective coating over her skin, called vernix caseosa. It's greasy and white and you may see some of it at her birth. Working on her five senses. Nerve cells for her sense of taste, hearing, sight and smell are developing in her brain ."

Weight Gain: I'm not exactly sure. I think between 7 and 10 lbs. I will find out for sure Monday at my Dr appt.

Gender: BOY!

Names: We have a name! We aren't sharing until baby is born tho.

Symptoms: Sciatic nerve pain and lower back pain. I'm also really tired again.

Sleep: Sleep has been great. I don't wake up at all during the night and have no trouble falling asleep.

Movement: He's been moving a lot more and all movements are getting stronger. I love it!

Maternity Clothes: I'm pretty much only wearing maternity clothes now and my regular cardigans and a few shirts.

Food Cravings: I've been craving soft serve icecream the past couple weeks. Still eating Reese's egg often, too. Chris bought be a ton of them for Valentine's day.

Food Aversions: Nothing. 

Stretchmarks: some light ones around my belly button. I'm sure they will darken up soon, great.

What I'm Looking Forward To: my next ultrasound on Feb 18th

What I Miss: nothing.

Next Drs Appointment:  Feb 18 for the anatomy scan.

Best Moment of the Week: getting more boy things and settling on a name.
