Since my last entry the husband and I have purchased Jake’s bedding set (“Little MVP” from Babies R Us – so cute!), and ordered the dresser/changing table, glider & ottoman. This is the bedding set...

The dresser combo came in yesterday and my husband will probably put it together tomorrow on his day off. The glider will probably come in next week. Everything is coming together nicely! Today I am 21w 3d pregnant, and as I type he is kicking me and flipping around! He usually moves here and there during the day, but his real “hyper time” is between 8pm-10pm each night. That is when he really has a party in there! His other favorite activity is playing “kick the seatbelt” when I am driving to/from work. On another note, my good friend Ashley is currently 37w 3d pregnant, and is due March 16th. She had an appt yesterday and she is not dilated and is 30% effaced. We’re all very anxious to greet baby Wesley!

It's a BOY!!!

I am so excited – today at 9:00am we had our ultrasound and found out that we’re having another little boy! We’re naming him Jacob Kristofor. I knew right away – as soon as the u/s tech put the wand on my stomach, I saw the “money shot” and she didn’t have to say anything. When she went back to that a couple minutes later, she did in fact confirm it was a “boy”. He measured great for where I am in the pregnancy (19w 4d), and no birth defects. Thank the Lord! I have also gained 8lbs since my last appointment, putting me currently at 137lbs.

I can’t wait to go make our registry at Babies R Us after work w/ my hubby & son!

Nine more days...

…Until we know if it is a girl or a boy! I am so excited. I can’t wait to go out and buy things that are either truly BOY or truly GIRL! I also will be excited to have a name pinned down (either Hannah Elisabeth or Jacob Kristofor).

Yesterday I got my good friend Ashley’s baby shower invite in the mail – VERY CUTE! Whod've thought we'd be preggers together? Anywho, it is blue with a brown trim, and the silhouette of a pregnant woman in white. Very trendy! It’s Tuesday, Feb. 19th, so I have two weeks to shop!

Daddy got to feel the baby move!

This is the moment that I have been waiting for anyway. For the past several days, the baby has been kicking like crazy towards the evening time, around 7-8pm, and My husband was either at work or the baby would stop as soon as his hand was on my stomach. The kicks have been very sporadic and hard to time, so it was understandable. Well last night was the season premiere of “Lost” after an 8 month hiatus, so we were sitting in bed watching the recap before the premiere to get caught up, when the baby started kicking like CRAZY! This was the most he/she has ever moved at one time before – guess he/she is a “Lost” fan! Anywho, I put his hand on my stomach, and he got to feel a small jab. A few minutes later the baby was kicking pretty hard, so I put his hand on there again and he got to feel a really hard one! It was really exciting – maybe more for me, but it was nice to be able to share what I have been ‘feeling’ with him finally!! It only took 17 weeks and 4 days!
