It's A......

Boy!!!!!!!

I know, it has been a while since our last post. Truth be told, I am a little burned out of blogging. But, so many exciting things happening I should keep it up!

We went July 30th for our 20 week appointment. My parents and Devlon's parents were able to be in the room when we found out the sex! We are so excited to have a little boy by Christmas! Everything looks healthy with the baby.......all the organs and spine, etc. The femur and head are measuring ahead by almost 2 weeks! OB said not to worry.....probably just because I am tall and Devlon is tall that our baby will be long. Plus, even though Devlon is taller than me, my legs are longer. So it is probably to be expected.

My placenta is pretty low still so we will have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check placement of the placenta and monitor the growth. My blood pressure was a bit high so I made them redo it after the ultrasound once I knew the baby had all his parts in the right place. It went down almost 20 points so I guess it was just nerves. :)

We go back again in late August for our 24 week check.

We picked out bedding and are trying to figure out how exactly we want the nursery. The bedding is at http://warmbiscuit.com/fishingcrib.html . I figure we have enough fishing stuff around the house to make the room look really cute. Devlon has all kinds of plans for the room and this little guy so far. We are having a quilt and curtains made out of all of Devlon's old fishing shirts so that will be really cute and unique. I think we are going to use a fishing rod instead of a normal curtain rod. Devlon bought some fish prints in Rockport a few weekends ago and of curse the infamous boat seat will now fit in the house and not look weird. We are planning to use my old Jenny Lind style crib (yes, I checked out all the safety guidelines and it meets all of them) and Devlon's old changing table..........they just need a fresh coat of paint.

We also registered at Babies R Us........quite the adventure. We probably picked out TOO much, but it was fun nonetheless. I am in Utah this weekend visiting Melissa and the girls. Mel and I hit the malls today and I got to buy my first baby boy outfits.........I even found some cute overalls! Gymboree had cute Lobster themed stuff.......Tracy and Josh bought us a shirt from there already but I found swim trunks and a one piece outfit that have lobsters on them so I of course bought them in sizes the baby can hopefully wear during the summers.

Well, we just got back from the pool and the girls are getting out of the tub so I should run. I will TRY to be more diligent about posting especially with fun preggo stories. Have a great weekend.
