Prepare yourself...

For baby room cuteness explosion extravaganza. I heart our baby room. You may heart it too...Take a look:

I can't wait to get the animal wall decal to put up on the wall behind the crib and changing table. And I can't wait to get the owl quilt, the hamper that matches the bedding, and the framed pictures of woodland creatures that the Etsy Demons have convinced me that I simply need. Oh, and it'll be nice to have a baby in the room at some point too, I suppose. Yeah. That.

Other mammals that enjoy the baby room:

Sheeba checking out the baby goods for potential edible qualities.

Kitty, enjoying the very expensive new bed he thinks we bought him. No wonder he didn't like the $15 Wal-Mart Kat Tower. He wanted the Graco Lauren cherry finish wood crib. Duh.

 I think we need to have a little "family meeting" about what's coming home less than four months from now. Somehow me thinks the pets just aren't quite prepared enough to be knocked down a spot as leading contenders for our time and attention. Not good.

Other great things in the world of my pregnancy include the shirt that my girls got me when we found out we're having a boy.





Most friends when finding out the sex of another friend's baby would purchase blue or pink clothing, bedding, bottles, or other gender-themed related goodies. My dear friends, on the other hand, buy me a shirt with an ultrasound picture of a male fetus with a humongous weiner. Unfortunately the saddest thing about the whole scenario is how much I friggin' love this shirt. Nick of course wants me to wear it out everywhere since he feels it shows people that his son is already hung like a horse. I don't know that we as a couple should be trusted to raise a human.


And finally, some belly pics and a survey:

How far along?: Going on 22 weeks

How big is baby?: Nearly 12" and 1 lbs

Weight gain?: Haven't weighed myself but clothing is definitely feeling...tighter.

Maternity Clothes?: Still surviving on the belly band and bigger t-shirts. God bless work out pants/tops.

Stretch Marks?: Zilch.

Sleep?: If I could rip my hip bones out with a crow bar, I would.

Best moment this week?: Getting the baby room set up! I lourve it.

Movement?: Kicks, jabs, rolls, and whatnot. Eggy moves around in the morning when I first wake up and then a ton in the evening.

Food cravings?: Soft serve ice cream!

Aversions?: I'm nearly 6 months pregnant. Honestly, I'll pretty much eat anything.
Gender?: See above pictured t-shirt. 

Belly button in or out?: I poke my finger in it every night to remind it to stay an innie. No offensive to outies, but ewwwww. 
What I miss most?: Being COOL (as in temperature-wise - even pregnant I'm still a bad-ass). Once I get hot it is so hard for me to cool down! The A/C has been working overtime lately...

What I'm looking forward to?: Nick being able to feel the baby. Now I think it's just a matter of him feeling my belly at the right time!
