registering.... complete!

so adam and i went to kennesaw saturday afternoon - and we registered at Babies R Us - we were there for quite a while... MUCH longer than when we registered at Target! partially (probably) because we know what we are having now! we had a lot of fun!

we also stopped by this really cute baby boutique (AKA - REALLY EXPENSIVE BABY STUFF!) and it was neat to just walk through - we mainly went there to get adam's daddy diaper bag - which looks like a backpack - he's excited. they had some really cute stuff there - i did get a sign for the wall that says "you are my sunshine" my mom ALWAYS sang that song... i also took pictures of some of their other signs that i can make myself :)

and then we went to look at some SUV's - to check out the difference in the sizes - adam is going for the suburban... so we'll see when that happens - after that we went to dinner and then headed home.

it was a fun day!

now i just need to go back to target and do a little updating there... but basically - we're done! :)

pictures!

so... here are pictures from our 20th week ultrasound!

here is is profile...

now you can see his arm...

and here are all his measurements -
14.75 cm long
and he weighs about 14 oz.

we're all downhill from here on out!

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!

i know... it's taken me a while to update this... i was waiting to get my pictures scanned - but i'm going to go ahead and update - and post pictures later...

so the tech asked if we had any guesses... i told her that i thought that it was a girl... and then she asked me - "do you see that 3rd leg right there?" i didn't see it at first - adam saw it right away! things were really well - he was laying on his back and he was breech... so i had to walk around a bit to get him to shift a little so the tech could finish getting his measurements. she said that everything looked good - he measures in (from head to bottom) 14.75 cm and weighs 14 oz (just shy of 1 lb) the heart rate was 148 bpm. adam and i are both very excited!

stay tuned... u/s pictures will follow as soon as i get them scanned! :)

we have movement!! (i think) ;)

so i woke up this morning at 6am - and rolled over to my back to stretch out a little - i placed my hand on the lower part of my stomach... and almost immediately i felt a little kick! on the outside!!! and then i felt some flutters inside my stomach!!! i had adam put his hand where my hand was and he think he felt something! HOW COOL IS THAT!! i was starting to get nervous because i hadn't felt anything... and there was a bunch this morning! SO EXCITING!

and on another note - today is the day for the big ultrasound! i'll update with more info once all our family knows!

it's an exciting friday!

good to be home...

adam and i are back from our vacation and it was great! thanks to brandy we had a great place to stay at on the canal in surf city...

tuesday when we got in we traveled around jacksonville to see what all had changed... then we joined our friends tony and steph for dinner at mongolian bbq - afterwards we all came back to our place to hangout... (it's just grape juice.... but i thought it was funny) :)

wednesday we traveled around and visited my old schools - and we also went on base for a little - steph wanted to buy us our first pair of baby cammies.... that night we met up with a buddy of adam's for dinner at hooters (mmm....i LOVE their wings) afterwards adam and blake went out to the tarheel for a guys night out... i hung out with one of my girlfriends -jamielea- and then went back to our place - watched some tv and colored :)

thursday adam and i slept in and it was WONDERFUL! and really didn't do all that much - went on base to have lunch with blake.... and that early evening we went to logans to have dinner with a bunch of my old coworkers - and they threw us a surprise baby shower - it was so sweet of them...

and friday was a rough day - i slept horribly - i am guessing that i now have carpal tunnel - i was reading up on it (at 4:30am when i couldn't sleep) and i think that i have had symptoms for a while... mainly waking up with my hands being numb.... well my thumb was killing me! i couldn't even hold my brush with my right hand... so i couldn't straighten my hair - needed adam to help me get dressed - couldn't feed myself with my right hand... i was in a lot of pain!

then it was time for us to leave our vacation house....

i went back out to southwest so i could see one of my friends that i missed earlier in the week - my assistant when i was teaching there - and brandy's little girl (who isn't so little anymore) and we hung out there while the little ones had lunch - later on i met up with my friend dana for coffee (i had a strawberry creme frap - no coffee) and we just hung out and chatted until we had to leave.... then we went to my sisters new place and then we went up to mikes farm for dinner... (mmmm - i love that place!)

after we were done there - adam and i decided to get on the road - we drove to columbia, sc -a good halfway point- slept over in a hotel .... and now we are home - with our furbabies...and oh how i've missed them!

it was nice to get away - but i'm glad to be home.... i just hope that my hand really feels a whole lot better - so that i can actually hold a pen to write with when i go back to work on monday!

babymoon...

so adam and i will be off around 4am tomorrow - for NC - we are staying in Surf City - and visiting everyone in the Jacksonville area! i'm super excited... i can't wait to see everyone!

i'm staying up right now - watching my monday night tv - one tree hill, gossip girl, and heroes - and adam is in bed.... his alarm is set for 3:30

dinner at mongolian bbq on tuesday
adam is having a guys night wednesday night
thursday is a get-together at logans
and friday night we are getting together with my sister and going to mikes farm!

i never thought i would say this... but i do miss jacksonville
