We've decided on crib/bedding

So here is the crib we're getting. I tried to get the picture to come up, but I can't figure it out, so you'll have to click on the link to see it. Here is the changing table we are getting, in black. We are not getting the hutch part, just the dresser part. The thing I like about this changing table is the piece that holds the changing pad comes off later when they're older, and then it just looks like a dresser.

And then the bedding we decided on is this one:

I do need your opinion, now, though. What color of walls should we do? I like the grey in the picture, but Josh isn't a fan. I definitely don't want hot pink walls...maybe green or ...? I don't know.

We do need to buy a glider still and that's really about it as far as big pieces go for the room. Then I'll have fun accessorizing, etc.

Which do you like?

I don't want to buy the crib (or really even look at cribs) until I know what bedding I want. Me and Josh are having a hard time agreeing. In fact, there's only one we agree on between these, so it will probably end up being that one regardless of your vote, but I want you to vote anyway.

21 weeks 4 days

19 weeks!

Now that I'm starting to show a little bit (I mostly just look like I've eaten a lot) I want to start putting up weekly pictures of myself. The pictures today aren't that great because Josh isn't home and I won't have time to do this later today. They are taken in my bathroom and are a little fuzzy, but you'll get the idea.

19 weeks

Let's see, in the last week I have started feeling the baby kick, which is really cool. It feels like popcorn. Besides that, not much is new. To be honest, nothing has really changed since before I was pregnant. I have had absolutely no morning sickness, nausea, or anything. It's been really nice. In the beginning, I did get frequent light headaches, but that's about it. And I am really thankful for that.

I have two pair of jeans that don't button up anymore, but I'm just using a hair tie to keep them together. Other than that, all my others still fit. Which is great, because I have no desire to buy maternity jeans.

I'll update you next week when I'm 20 weeks (halfway through!!!!) and I will have better pictures for you, too.

So, if you haven't heard...

we are expecting! Due May 2011. We are thrilled!

North Carolina

Here are some pictures from my trip to North Carolina this last weekend. My whole family went (excluding husbands) because it was my Grandma's 85th birthday. It was quite a fun, family-filled weekend. I wish I had more pictures to share, but I'm a really bad picture taker. I'm just waiting for my sister to send me copies of all the pictures she took.



Below: Mom and dad at Grandma's dinner party. There were about 40 - 50 people there. One of the tables...there were two really long tables at dinner.

Me and my Uncle Don.

Totally Blog Worthy

Well, I know I haven't blogged in a while, but this is worthy enough news that I have finally decided to post something. I PASSED MY TX CSR TEST!!! I am now officially a court reporter! Yay for me. Now, please excuse me while I do the happy dance for the rest of the day...or maybe year. And, also, I have a lot of phone calls to make to cousins of cousins, sisters of grandparents, etc. :)
