Twenty Four Weeks and Counting

Hey everyone, we are so excited to share all the fun new info about our new boy on the way! So far so good. We had a ultrasound, see pics on blog, and sure enough he was not shy and showed us he is very much a boy. Jay and I were thrilled/surprised. I swore he was a girl, so much for mothers intuition!!! I cried and cried the whole ultrasound. He was moving all around, even sucked his thumb.

We did discover that I have a placenta previa, meaning my placenta is blocking the opening for the birth canal. It may raise, I hear chances are pretty good. We will find out on Sept. 18th when we do another ultrasound. I was thrilled cause I get to see my boy again! Sept. 25th the Womens Clinic of Northern Colorado will give us what's called a Peek-a-boo ultrasound, it's 3-D.

I am enjoying pregnancy so far... I really didn't get sick at all and now I am thrilled that I actually "look" pregnant!

We have all the nursery decor. We are going with the Pottery Barn Farm Patch set. Inspired by Daddies childhood (he grew up on a dairy farm)! It's chambray, cordoroy, and many more fabrics in blue, red and green.

I feel the need to nest and daddy is doing a great job at helping mommy. We are in the process of ripping out all our carpet upstairs and laying beautiful hickory hardwood. I should say, Daddy is laying hardwood, I mostly hand him tools!

Dad also plans to put up bead board, crown moulding, and special little boy shelves in the closet. He has his work cut out for him.

Dad even spoiled me with a beautiful and comfy la-z-boy for the nursery!

Can't wait to see the boy again...

Adorable Baby Blogger. My favorite is the picture of you pregnant with the mirror behind you. Did you take that? I can't wait to see more pictures of the little guy, he is very photogenic.

Love your far away Cousin

CONGRATULATIONS!! Somehow I got out of the loop on this one, so what a wonderful surprise to get in my e-mail! I'm so excited for you - a little baby boy, how fun! I look forward to more posts and I hope everything goes well at your next ultrasound.

Love your cousin, Elizabeth
