The 3rd trimester starts

Its been a good 6 weeks since I've posted last, and I've had a ton of requests for some new pictures. Sorry to those who have been waiting, I haven't been in the photo mood lately. Today I finally got the nerve to give the camera to my dh to take some shots of me. Its hard for me to imagine that I'm going to keep getting bigger.

The nursery is starting to feel like a baby's room this week. The crib and changing table arrived, and we were able to set up the room some more. I have pictures I've made to put up on the walls, but I haven't decided what order or where to put them yet. Once I have those up, the bed skirt and bumper on the crib, and the rocker in the room, I'll take some more pictures to show you the whole set up.

If you didn't already see the quilt on my mother's blog, check out the cutest crib quilt ever hanging on the side. I received this quilt on my birthday, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm so happy with the fabric we found from Ikea with all of the accessories. We even found some stuffed animals that matched to put in the crib for now. Another birthday gift I got from my mother is this adorable onsie. The soon to be daddy likes this one the best.

We just couldn't wait....

So this whole time my hubby and I have been telling everyone we were going to wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. Well the day of the ultrasound came, and our curiosity got the best of us. So for those who don't know already, we are having a boy! We are thrilled, and the soon to be daddy is starting to get excited. We don't have a name picked out, but we are starting to play around with some. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to help us out.

At 21 weeks my belly has popped out now. It's starting to feel like my tummy is getting larger and larger every day.

I don't know how he did it, but my DH convinced me to start taking pictures showing the belly off without the shirt down. I'm personally not a huge fan of this picture, but he thinks its better so I decided I'd show it off to all of you.

I did take a good trip to Ikea recently with my mother, and had a blast picking out a bunch of stuff for the baby's room. So about a week ago, I cleaned out all of my craft projects and started setting op the room. We don't have much furniture yet, we are waiting patiently on the crib from dad, but I was able to throw curtains up and rugs down. Here is a few pictures, so you can get the idea of the color scheme we are going for.

4 weeks later....

So another 4 weeks have passed, and its time for the monthly picture. Now that my belly is starting to get bigger, it was time for me to pick up some maternity clothes. I've always been a big fan of shopping (like most ladies), but shopping for maternity clothes is another story. It is not so fun. I did end up with a few cute shirts though.

On another note, yesterday Hubby and I threw a superbowl party with a bunch of our friends. I decided to cook a few things, and I think I may have gone a little over board. Not only did I make a bunch of food, our friends brought some great food too. Even this hungry pregnant lady couldn't eat enough to make a dent in this food.
The one item I couldn't get enough of were some brownies I made, along with the spinach dip Big A brought over. Thanks to my mother, I found the recipe for the brownies, also known as brookies at www.bakerella.com. You need to go check it out, they are chocolate brownies mixed with chocolate chip cookies. I wish I had a better picture of them, but the rest of them got sent home with friends so I would stay away from them.

A little behind...

Ok, so I know I told all of you that I would post weekly pictures of myself on here so you could see my belly growing. Well, my belly doesn't really grow that much in a week right now, so for now, it will be monthly pictures. If your lucky I might blog about other things in between too. And now, with no further introduction, here is me at 14 weeks prego!

The last 4 weeks have been really rough, but thankfully I think I'm done with the sickness part of being pregnant. Last Friday was our last doctor's appointment, and we were able to hear the heart beat for the 1st time. Its starting to all become so real, who would of thought I could create something inside of me. It makes me think of a saying my sister saw "I'm so crafty I can make babies." I think that might be my new motto for now.
