23 Weeks

There's no hiding the belly now. We're feeling the baby kick and hicup a LOT ! We've even seen the belly move when the baby kicks. VERY cool! The nursery is now done. The bees along the white border have been hand painted to match the decor. Now we just need to get the furniture. We started a piggy bank for the baby's first shopping spree. So far, pregnancy has been awesome!!

Saying goodbye to the jeep

It was a bittersweet moment last evening as we sat in the Jeep dealership and traded in the Jeep Rubicon for a more "family" appropriate sized Jeep. We'll deeply miss the off-roading and 9 hour bumpy trips down the Garden State Parkway for Ocean City and Maryland trips. (Coincidentally, the former Rubicon owner also had traded this car in because she, too was having a baby. Huh, go figure!)

Something old

The rocking chair belonged to Travis's Mom when she first had Travis. The foot stool was an old one from our bathroom growing up. Amazing what a little paint can do!!

22 Weeks

Went to the doc today and the baby's heartrate is 148. The nursery is almost done being painted. We just need to paint the bumble bees along the white border in the middle. We found bumble bee dresser knobs to match too.

Tummy--21 Weeks

The belly is getting bigger and the baby is kicking a lot...especially at night when we're ready to go to sleep. It's a pretty neat feeling though, so who's complaining!!

Painting the Nursery

We spent Labor Day weekend painting the nursery to flow with the Wendy Bellissimo Busy Bee collection. The dogs are really interested in what all the change is about, and Peyton has become instinctively more protective of Siobhan. He follows her around the house and no longer will sleep in the kitchen.
