Decorating the Nursery!

So we have known before we were having kids what the general theme of the nursery would be for either gender. Now that we officially know we are Team Blue, we have started really focusing on the baby's room.

The theme will be Rockets and Robots!

I have been working hard on some really fun and creative home made projects for it, including (insert gasp here) a thematically appropriate room sign and name letters. Those will not be posted here until the baby is born and the name is no longer a mystery!

It is super fun planning these things, but with the former office about to be turned into a baby's room.... We are going to have to work hard to get some things packed and put down into the cellar for storage. That is one of the things we will need to begin to do this weekend, as our crib will be in our house in a few weeks!

But for now we have the gorgeous Dwell studio for Target sheets we picked up, and some other assorted rocket stuffs for the little one!

Dreaming in ....

We had our anatomy scan yesterday. The anatomy scan is basically two techs do an ultrasound one right after the other, and they look at the baby from head to toe and then they can tell you if they see anything that can lead to birth defects. They can also tell the gender!

The great news is that the baby's heart is pumping strong. The blood is flowing great. No sign of Downs Syndrome, and a perfect kidney.

The even more awesome news is that the baby wasn't shy... We are dreaming in blue!

Meet our son!

We have a great name that will not be revealed until the baby is born.

My beautiful baby boy... I am in love with him already. June seems so far away!

Happy New Year!

We celebrated alone at home with Chinese food and it was AWESOME. It was just the way to ring in what we call:

2011: The year of the Baby

We got a great strawberry cake and just hung out on the couch watching Twilight Zone and the Boston Fireworks.

As far as Monkey goes, everyday I am astonished at the growth of my stomach, the idea that there is a little guy or gal in there. And now I find myself enjoying my pregnancy, but I am counting down the days until we meet him or her. It is incredible how close I am with a little one I have yet to meet.

I found myself this afternoon thinking about what the baby will be like, who he/she will be like, what he/she will be when they grow up.... I don't care. All I want is a happy child.

And I get to be the proud Mommy.

That is the awesomest feeling.
