It's A Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who don't yet know, we are having a boy!  We are very excited, though it is incredibly weird knowing that the opposite sex is growing inside me!?!?!

I promise to upload the sweet photos from the ultrasound soon, we have a ton going on right now and I am not sure I have the patience for my scanner, but I am happy to show them to anyone who asks.  I promise I will get them up soon.

That is all of our news for now.  We are getting ready for a trip to San Francisco and Napa with some friends for a wedding.  Should be an amazing time.

Baby Bathroom

So anyone who has visited our house knows we have one incredibly outdated bathroom, and that room happens to be the bathroom that the baby will use.  Well today we got Eric's dad over here to help us formulate a plan and in the meantime, they did some demo - check out the pics to see the tub/shower unit ripped out. 

We are going to put in a porcelain tub and then tile the wall and the floor, and install a much smaller sink.  I cannot wait for the finished result, but it will be at least a month or two because our tub does not come in until November 16th. Boo!!!!

Thanks Daddy Anderson!

Demolished Tub:

Empty Space where tub/shower unit used to be - that is open insulation on the wall!

This is the awful sink and floor that we will be getting rid of!

Latest Belly Pic - Almost Week 19

For those of you who know me, you know I cannot "let it all hang out," so therefore I am usually still sucking my stomach in and it keeps people from realizing that I am pregnant unless a certain outfit prevents it.  Anyway, here is the latest picture where Eric insisted I let the baby have some room to move around.

What will it be????????

So Eric and I are finding out on Tuesday what we are having, fingers crossed we are anyway.  Last night at Target, we both picked out an outfit - I picked out a little girl onesie and he picked out a little boy onesie.  Everyone is betting that I am right and we are having a little girl - but maybe Eric knows something we don't. We shall see.

Cleveland

So the baby and I got to experience Cleveland thanks to a few friends who got married there last weekend!  It was the most beautiful weather you could ever imagine, sunny, with a slight breeze and 75 degrees!  Perfect for a wedding day, and that wedding was perfect.  We ate, some drank, and we were all incredibly merry!

I did get to wear my cheap dress for the wedding which nicely accentuated my larger than usual stomach!  It was a great time all around, and I even got to play mom while driving a minivan!  We followed up the great wedding, with a wonderful brunch where I had waffles, an omelette and macaroni & cheese!  Then we hopped on our plane bound to Nashville where the baby kicked me on the way home!

More to come.

Sweet people....

So, Eric works with the sweetest lady ever.  He came home the other day with a present for our baby - the first official present from someone not us or family.  Here is a picture of the homemade baby blanket that she made for us.  Isn't it precious?  Amazing how thoughtful and sweet people are. Eric is still in awe of how small the blanket is, the funny thing will be when we bring home baby and the baby is incredibly tiny as well!

The Skinny on Maternity Clothes......

They are for the birds! I know that at some point I am going to have to break down and buy some, but it is not going to be this month.  I just cannot get excited about elastic waist bands, and cheap looking tops that are more expensive because they are maternity!  I will leave all of that alone for as long as I can. 

Instead, yesterday I got a bigger size pair of jeans, and a few pairs of leggings and some bella bands should be on their way to me this week.  Hopefully these items will keep me out of maternity clothes for a little while longer.  I also invested in some larger tops, because a wise mom has told me, "if you think you can still fit in your tops, don't, just don't, because once you are no longer pregnant, they will be stretched out and you will wish you had not squeezed into them." So, I am following her advice, and purchased some tops that should work for the next several weeks. 

It really sucks buying clothes that you know will only fit for a limited amount of time.  I think I just hate wasting the money.  Many of you will see me in my maternity fashions soon enough.  I have two weddings this month, so the dress situation should be interesting as my boobs are too big to fit into any of my regular dresses without stretching them out!

Don't judge me for wearing jeans/leggings and boots for the next five months, because likely that is all you will see me in.  Off to get a massage!
