He is getting spoiled already!!!!

Hello to all!  We cannot believe how fast the time is flying by...and we have so much to do still!  Jeff and I are getting ready to tackle the baby's room..we have the theme picked out, now we just have to get going!  Jeff & I are going to take down the wallpaper and get the room prepped for some helping hands.  Jeff's dad, David, will be coming down for a long weekend to help Jeff paint the room and get things set up for our little guy.  We are so blessed that Dad can come and help us out with this, and it will be good bonding time for the guys as well.  I will be sure to post some pics of them working on the room! 

It's hard to believe that our shower in Michigan is less than a month away!  We have already received some gifts in the mail for the baby and I continue to find cute little outfits for our little boy while we are out and about!  He is definitely going to be one well dressed boy!  Here are some pics of the gifts we have received for the shower!


Here is Jeff getting ready to put the stroller together 


Grandma Sue bought this...with Mommy in mind!  It will definitely help with kneeling on my bad knee

Daddy working very hard...although I don't think they had that in mind for the cup holder use...yes, it's a Coors Light!

Thank you Gabby & Papa!!! That would be my dad and step mom, Barb

Thank you Stephanie for the Moses Basket...it was the first gift we got in the mail!  Inside is the blanket I made for the baby, along with a bear that Mommy & Daddy made at Build-A-Bear Workshop for our little boy!  The little puppy dog is from our nephews, Eric and Jake for the baby.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all our family and friends!  We hope this post finds you all doing well and looking forward to the new year.  I know that Jeff and I sure are!  We had a wonderful first Christmas together in our new house.  We opened gifts on Christmas morning, and to no surprise, the baby received a TON of stuff!  He is gonna be quite the little cutie in all his new clothes and also received new pacifiers (thanks Aunt Jenny & Uncle Jimmy), a beach hat from Grandma Sue, and even a piggy bank from his cousin Kelly to start saving up all his riches!  We know that our little boy will surely get spoiled as he arrives in May!


Jeff and I went and registered for our little guy this past weekend.  While we had a great time looking at everything  and choosing things for his room, it was slightly overwhelming.  Non the less, we had a great afternoon together and after 3 hours at Babies R Us, we called it a a day and treated ourselves to some dinner!  To view our registries, you can either go to the Babies R Us & Wal Mart sites, or you can try these links:

We are really starting to get excited about the shower up north and are trying to get the baby's room together.  We have been blessed to be given a crib from our friends, Dawn & Moke, which is a HUGE help.  Now we just have to find a color we like, and then get to ripping down some wallpaper!  I'm sure we will post some pics of our work throughout the process!

I cannot believe that I am halfway through my pregnancy!  I am continuing to grow, although haven't gained much weight at all...I hope that trend continues!  Here are some new belly pics...it took a lot to take and post the bare belly pic, but I have had some requests to do so.  So here they are!!

Half way there bump!  21 weeks

21 weeks...and growing!
