Getting Ready... Slowly...





How Far Along: 22 weeks
Size of baby: Baby Head is the size of a spaghetti squash
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I dont want to know!
Maternity Clothes: Maternity jeans and stretch pants are a must! Everything is else is normal
Gender: It's a BOY!!!! Ethan Daniel Head.. we are so excited that its a boy.
Movement: Feeling something- but still not sure what it is.
Sleep: Great but having trouble figuring how to sleep surrounded with pillows
What I miss: more than one diet coke a day, coffee
Symptoms: Feeling great.. just horrific leg cramps.
Best Moment this week: Finding out its a BOY!

The pictures above are perfect for life around here lately.. everything taken off the walls as we prepare to move, and the dogs not leaving my side. I swear they have some weird sense that something is going on. They sleep in the bed, lay at my feet and are more excited than ever when i come home. Its cute and clostraphobic all at the same time.
I am having a great time planning life with a baby. Although lately I have been completely overwhelmed. How is this going to work when I go back to work. Is there enough of my to go around to all the kids at church, Bryan and now Ethan. How do I make sure that Ethan knows he is first. On top of it its been so strange to feel so very normal and not feel any kicking. Maybe its just my personality, maybe its losing a baby.. but I am terrified that something is wrong. The monthly sonograms cant come fast enough. But at the end of the day GOD IS IN CHARGE and He can do infinatly more than I can ever ask or imagine. And for that I have hope.

This week my parents bought me the cutest bedding... the theme of the nursery is calm and literature. I want something calming and I want to surround this kid with books!


And then we went to Canton and saw this amazing diaper bag... SO CUTE!
