Peek-A-Not

Oh my...where does the time go? We have been very bad bloggers lately. We spent this past weekend in Orlando watching Ali's nephew play in his All-stars baseball tournament. I needed a couple of cocktails after the 1st night of 12-13yo male testerone...OMG! We did manage to sneak off into two baby stores and register. I love B*b*ies- R -Us! We bought the baby's bedding, so now I really need to finish the nursery. I am getting very excited and nervous too. I get scared the most about being able to afford a child and if I will be a good parent. I'm sure that's all normal.?.



We leave next week for KY for a visit with my family. I can't wait. We haven't been home in 2 years and I miss them. We have a baby shower scheduled the 11th and our family reunion on the 12th. There are 85 of us cousins and I hope to see everyone at the picnic. We are in search of a new camera, since ours took a dive , so I will be sure to take some pics.



I will also update you with a new ultrasound pic taken a week ago. He/she is so stinkin cute. The ultrasound lady was so nice and switched over to 4D for us and gave us pictures...so very REAL.....I just get all giddy inside! Our little pea pod had it's legs crossed and heels tucked into his/her crotch...so we couldn't see the sex even if we wanted to....oh the suspense of it all!!!!!

Going On 18 Weeks And Off For Our Babymoon

We are back from my parents and miss them already. I can't believe we won't see them again til Oct. They are headed up North to see their other grand kids. I told my brother he is gonna have to share my mom soon, so get in all the time he needs now. Granted he has 2 sets of twins 11 months apart (ages 6 and 7) and we will only have one. I just wanted to prepare him now.

We are 18 weeks tomorrow. Wow...time really flies! We leave again for the beach to celebrate our baby moon. We are going with our good friends S+K, who before we left for my parents had us over for dinner, and as we were greeted at their front door, they wanted us to know that they are not crazy...and that they are not planning on taking our baby, but rather love us and this baby very much...so we walk in and this is what greeted us..

There's more..............

and more......... I couldn't fit it all in.

S has offered to take care of our new little one on the one day a week we will need childcare. They have been collecting these things for the past couple years so that we can just drop off the baby and some breast milk and they have everything else... and I mean they have everything else. We said we could just move in with them and be set. The clothes in the closet are all labeled with the state and the year they were purchased. We are so blessed with wonderful friends. Now I am afraid we are going to need to find new peeps to hang out with because these people are obviously into babysitting :-)

Our first purchase over $10

Thank you everyone for your advice... it made me feel less 'behind'. I found the checklist online... love that... and we had actually already done everything we were 'supposed to' by now, except for three things. A friend told us about this jogger stroller she saw at a local consignment shop so we went by to check it out. It's in great shape and was only $50... so we bought it. Very exciting!!

La started on the nursery mural tonight...looking good :-)...we will post when it is finished
