Nursery Bedding

We waste no time... Eric and I already had in mind what we wanted to do for the nursery if it was a boy or a girl. Girl - paisley. Boy - argyle. So, we found the perfect bedding on Babies R Us and Target and wouldn't you know... they were all sold out. So, we ended up buying it from Baby Earth (which is a super cool website by the way).

Preparing to be outnumbered...

Because - IT'S A BOY!!!



We had out Level II ultrasound at UConn today and things went well. Of course our little man was laying the wrong way so they couldn't measure some of the things they needed to, but we will be going back next month for an echo cardiogram and more measurements. Bean has all of his important extremities and the brain and heart look good. The ultrasound tech said that he has big feet! I will post the ultrasound pics soon, but it was plain as day that little Bean is a boy!!

Thanks to all of those that voted. I honestly had no feeling one way or the other. Now I am preparing myself for lots of mud, frogs and salamanders!

Pondering Bean's Gender

I am getting very excited about out big ultrasound tomorrow at UConn. We are going to hopefully find out the sex of Bean. In the past Bean has been known to cross it's legs so we shall see. After looking through numerous name websites and books for boy and girl names... it is hard to believe that tomorrow we are only going to have to search for one or the other.

To find out or not to find out... I think it is such a personal choice (as is anything that is baby related). I think not finding out is such a wonderful surprise, but for this pregnancy this time, it isn't right for us. I feel like I will be able to have a closer connection with Bean once we find out and I am very excited for that! And, it wouldn't be right if I didn't say that another reason is that I am SUPER excited to decorate the nursery beforehand... just sayin'! haha Or A

So, here is hoping I can have sweet dreams and not be up all night wondering what sex little Bean is!

P.S. Aren't tie dye onesies so cute?!

Nursery Furniture!

After researching and searching and driving all around... we decided on the nursery furniture that we wanted! We are getting the "Olivia" crib from JC Penny and a 3 drawer chest (to use as a changing table) and a 5 drawer chest that match the crib.



I also want to thank my parents for generously helping us to get the nursery furniture - it is such a wonderful gift! We love you.

Here is a photo of my ever expanding belly!

"Hi Dad!"

I went to my OB around 17 weeks and got a nice ultrasound surprise. I got to see Bean's cute little hand. Bean was missing dad so Bean waved and we got it on the screen!
