Mo’ Nursery Updates

A couple weeks ago Patrick and I set up the crib in the nursery! It was pretty easy to assemble and looks nice n sturdy!

I’m thinking about adding a crib skirt so it doesn’t look so….cold. Those things are generally way overpriced and kind of a silly purchase as they are purely decorative, but isn’t it a rite of passage to go overboard with your first bebe?

We also ordered this little cloud shelf from Land of Nod. I dressed it up wit some Purell. #fancy #blessed

23 week update is as follows: I’ve been loving riding my bike! – want to do that as much as I can before it’s not safe anymore! Also, dat acid reflux. no bueno.

We done ordered a crib!

Hey there!

After some minorly enthusiastic crib hunting, Patrick and I just decided to go for it with a simple Graco convertible crib. It looks like dis:

It should arrive sometime this week, and I hope it isn’t as much trouble as the Ikea dresser to put together!

There was an attempt to do kind of an artsy-fartsy bump photo — it didn’t turn out half bad! I’m sure I’ll do another one of these shots once the belly is large and in charge

21 weeks tomorrow & Baby P has been moving a ton lately– it’s such a funny feeling!

 

 

Tahoe pt. 2

On one morning of the vacation in Tahoe, we had a photographer come in and take some pics- she was super cool and did a great job putting up with all of our shenanigans! You can check Lauren Lindley out here.  HIghlights below!

Lake Tahoe Pt. 1

Patrick and I just returned from a wonderful few days away in South Lake Tahoe. We stayed in a beautiful wood-paneled house with the Powers clan. Here are just a few pics that we took- I’m sure I’ll post more as they come!

 

PS- we’ve reached 20 weeks– halfway there & feeling great!

Anatomy Scan

We had our official anatomy scan this week where they confirmed that baby P is still indeed a boy!

Essentially they check out how his organs and such are developing — you can even see the 4 chambers of the heart! So cool. My Dr. said that everything was looking great, so we are very happy. Here are some pics from the latest sonogram!

Check out that spine!

little Feets!

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

I have also started feeling some movement! It started about 2 weeks ago, but I wasn’t quite sure if it was the baby just yet…But it has become a pretty regular occurrence and is a fun little reminder that the bean is bouncing around in there. After a week of trying to get the timing just right, Patrick was finally able to feel him move too! such a cool moment 🙂

Weeks 18 & 19

We got a few little things in for the nursery recently: a little bookshelf, toy chest, and dresser for all his crap! We’ll need to figure out which photos to hang eventually but here’s the set up currently.

 

Also, Patrick was super excited that his ikea dresser has a little striped “faux liner” thing going on.

SIL Teresa made the lil owl doll for him!

 

Here are some bump shots at just about 19 weeks and a little progression of the belly!
