I've been slacking on the blog alot... so here is catching up.....
Tomorrow I will be 22 weeks!! I feel like the time is moving along and speaking of moving... so is our little man!!! I started to feel him every great once in awhile at about 18 weeks... but now I can feel him move around a lot more!! It is such an amazing feeling!!! Rich even got to feel one of his harder kicks the other day and he was so excited!! It's still rare that his kicks can be felt from the outside, but every now and again he kicks a little bit harder. It's kind of neat to start to recognize a pattern in his schedule though. Sometimes it varies of course... but there are certain times everyday when he is consistantly active!!
I went this past weekend with my friend Lauren to start my baby registry at Babies R Us. Boy was it a little overwhelming! There is so much stuff at that store! I got a lot of the basics picked out and it was fun to see all the different things they have for babies. I'm going again today with my friend Aubrey and her son Carson, who is 5 months, to continue the search :) It's fun just looking at all the cool stuff they have there. I especially like the Amy Coe clothes. She has a funkier side and if you know me at all.... I'm definitely lean on the funkier side!! :)
I went to my 22 week appointment yesterday and doc says that things are looking great! My uterus is about 22cm! Which is right on target! I got to hear the little mans heart beat and it gets more amazing every time!! His heart rate has been pretty consistant at about 145.
Other than all that, I've been feeling great lately!! Tying my shoes is becoming harder... but thank goodness flip flop season in arriving!! I'll have to get a new belly picture up soon for everyone! I can't believe we only have 4 more months until we're parents!! I can not wait to meet our little guy!!! We've discussed names and are pretty sure that we're set on one (finally) but until it's certain I'm keeping it hush hush!! Lol.
This coming weekend, Easter weekend, will be our final trip of the riding season to Dumont Sand Dunes. Unfortunately there will be no riding time for me... but the weather is supposed to be gorgeous so maybe I can catch some rays!! Once we get home, our focus is on the nursery! We've picked out the paint, now just need to get started!!
Have a very Happy Easter everyone!!!

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!!!!!! :)
So, today I am 18 weeks.... and it's official.... WE"RE HAVING A BOY!!!!
We are both sooooo excited!!! Our reactions were just amazing! At the beginning of the ultrasound we were told that even if we couldn't tell the sex of the baby early in the ultrasound, we would be able to at some point. The sonographer put the wand on my stomach and literally in seconds said, "Oh yeah, it's definitely a boy!" Then she showed us "the goods" and took a great picture for us that Rich say he wants to frame! Lol. Rich got so excited at the baby being a boy that he yelled for joy and I instantly teared up!! I'm not sure if the tears came more from finding out that it was a boy or just seeing our perfect little munchkin on the screen!!
He (the baby) was so active and moved around so much throughout the ultrasound!! He sure put on a great show for us... stretching, waving, rolling around!! We even got a shot of his cute little baby butt! The sonographer checked his spine, kidneys, brain, heart, fingers, toes, lips, nose and more! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! He weighs 8 ounces and his heartbeat was at 150. I just wonder how it's going to feel once I start feeling him do all his crazy acrobatics!!! I'm telling you, he was such a wiggle worm!!
We're thinking up themes for his room and hopefully can get it painted soon. We have some ideas... but you never know, our minds could change. I can't wait to get some shopping in and buy a few things for him!
Today has been a great day!! Rich and I both are smiling from ear to ear!! What a wonderful feeling!! I can't describe enough the feeling of seeing something so perfect that we created!!! I can't wait til the day when we get to meet our perfect little man!!! :)
