Nursery

When I first found out I was pregnant, I took a lot of our stuff (camping gear, christmas decorations, etc) to our storage unit, also known as my mom's garage. After that, the room remained a receptacle of random things, including everything laundry related. We recently had a guest so that was my motivation to clean that room out and I did a pretty darn good job if I must say so myself. Below is a current picture of the nursery....

Nice isn't it? That is a full size mattress in the corner that will also find its way to my mom's house and the other object is a lamp. That's it. Nothing else. When we first found out I was pregnant, I wanted to wait until I was further along before I bought anything but it just turned into me procrastinating and now I have 9 weeks left :/ My dad said he was going to buy the baby's crib/changing table so we are just waiting on that.

The landlord said was couldn't paint so I am thinking we are going to go with wall decals for whatever theme we choose. And yes, a Trojan theme is an option at this point!

As Promised...

As I promised in my other post, I would include pictures of myself this time around. I began taking weekly photos of myself at 8 weeks but that did not last long and I eventually fell off the wagon. I realized that I do not have that many photos of me pregnant, but I hope that changes after my baby shower on Saturday.


This is me at 8 weeks. Notice the fancy sign, that was during my weekly photo phase.

Now this is me around 15 or 16 weeks, honestly not sure but if you REALLY want to know I can go through the text messages to my sister in law because it was taken at her request.

And this gem is me around 23 or 24 weeks. Again, if you REALLY want to know the exact time I can track weather patterns in Ca because it was unusually cold that day.

Well that was fun, the next post we will discuss all of the things I have done to get ready for the baby. That's right, it will be a short one ;)

FIRST

Hi Everyone,

This blog was created to share updates/pictures of the newest and perhaps largest chapter in our lives. Yes, I am pregnant (31 weeks 1 day to be exact) with our first child whose sex is still unknown. We have no real reason for being Team Green other than me not wanting to know the sex and Ray being supportive of that decision. You may notice me referring to the baby interchangeably as "she" or "he," I am hoping for a healthy baby first and a boy second :) September 2, 2013 could prove to be an interesting day.

Now for the fun stuff....PICTURES!

This is one of Ray at the PLUSH show featuring a fake baby in the Ergobaby carrier.

Here is one of the baby at 7 weeks. I forget which is which but one blob is the baby and the other blob is its yolk sac.

This is the baby at 13 weeks, he did really well, sat still the entire time.

This is the most recent image that we have save digitally, it was taken around 19 or 20 weeks. My dad was kind enough to escort me to this appointment because I did not want to go alone. The fun part of this picture is trying to find his face, it is in there, you just have to look!

That's all for now, I promise the next post will include pictures of me :)
