Out with storage room, in with baby furnature!

Today we finally got to move in the baby furnature! When we first moved in the room was being used for storage. The room was full of storage stuff and huge black contractor plastic garbage looking bags that we moved all our stuff in. Since Macyn is in Tennessee with my mom and sister visiting that side of the family I finally had the time and made myself get to work. So after a long weekend of sorting and organizing, the room was finally set for the nursrey furnature that we got. Check it out. The cats wanted to be in the pics too LOL. Now to decorate :)

Too cool

Today is 20 weeks 4 days. Wanted to post something I thought was really cool. Yesterday when I was sitting on the couch the baby was moving around like crazy, so I put my hands on my belly to see if I could feel it from the outside. Turns out I could! So that night when Derek got home we were relaxing on the couch watching tv and he was moving around again and got Derek to see if he could feel. He moved alot and he could feel him. Then was just sitting there with my shirt pushed up off my belly and was looking down and you can acutally see the big movements from the outside. It was sooo crazy! Really cool! His little foot is like the size of your first joint of your pinkie finger, so I had no idea we could feel him from the outside, yet alone see some movements on my skin. It was really cool. :)

Half way there!

I can't believe I am half way there! Here is how it all begain. I totally forgot I had taken this pic of that is how I would have started out the first post. Yes I took three. :)

Now at 20 weeks 3 days time really has sped up. It is really hard to take a pic of my belly. Looks alot smaller when we try to get pics of my belly than when you see me in person. He still does not have a name, but he has been wiggling around so much. I tried to take a few today...

Well will post again soon. - Courtney

Too Cute! Baby boy style

Love the modern baby clothes they have now. Like adult styles for babies. It is sooo cute! This is what I would love to dress up the baby in. No cartoon characters or overalls or anything old fashioned.

It's a boy! Ultrasound pics

July 5th, 2012 Ultrasound @ 19 weeks Baby weighs 11oz Sure has changed alot from that tiny blob from the first ultrasound at only 8 weeks. He was very wiggly when she was looking at him. Cannot believe the detail when we got to watch him move on the big screen. It was too cool! She said his foot was like the size of your 1st joint of your pinky finger. Here we go:

Names and Nursrey ideas...

So we are thinking and researching baby now names. They are soo much harder than girl names. One thing I did find that we really like is the modern baby nursrey. Here are a couple of pics I found on pinterest. Here is the idea for the 1st pic below. I want a nursery to be be modern, clean and minimal with neutral walls and lots of splashes of color throughout. The first one is my favorite: The colors of the hanging lanterns/stars and the gray, black, and white. Our nursrey furnature is white, so would look awesome I think. The second one I really like the dark gray wall with the trees and birds.

Now to go back to name researching....

It's a Boy!

Thursday July 5th: 19weeks Who knew! We were all thinking girl, but turns out it's a boy! Now the fun stuff can begin. Picking out the name, setting up a nursrey, and much more. We were all set with Genevive, but now that it is a boy, that def won't work. LOL Boys names are soo much harder. Off to think of names...

Week 18! Kinda late, but better than never

I am really gonna try hard to keep this blog updated now that I am almost half way there! I ment to do this from the day we found out about the baby, but time got away from me. I came accross nother ladys blog today that was so cool and so now I want to try it out. So here we go! The baby is Due November 29th, 2012. So we'll see if we have a November baby or a December baby :) Today I am 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant with Baby Martin. I am so excited because on Thursday July 5th at 2:30pm we will be finding out if it is a baby girl or boy! Here is when we got to see the baby for the 1st time @ 8weeks:

I cannot wait to see the baby on Thursday at 19 weeks! Baby movement: In other news I am pretty sure I have been feeling the baby move for the last week or so! It is so awesome :) Cannot wait till she/he is bigger. How I am feeling: I am feeling really good now. I started feeling nausious all the time from 8 weeks to about 13 weeks. I am so thankful that I never once threw up. A couple times I came really close, but that was it and it passed. I slowly had to figure out what to eat to keep my blood sugar from crashing, especially at work, and that alone helped alot. Then magically at 14 weeks, I started feeling so much better day after day. My belly: Well my belly is finally starting to show and look more like a baby belly than just like I ate too much. Some people say I don't even look pregnant, but I have always been skinny, so anyone who knows me better says they can definantly tell. I am ready for it to stick out more so there will be no mistake between a bit of belly fat and baby bump. :) Here is a not so good pic. Need to take a new one.

Well that is all for now. Will post Thursday all the details!!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!
