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.
