Some Ideas of Crib Bedding...

Here's some examples of the bedding I like for a boy or a girl! These pics are from the Javis Davis website. I just realized that throughout the whole blog I forgot to mention the baby's due date! It's September 1, 2009!

13 Weeks
I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! The first trimester was pretty rough considering I did not suffer from morning sickness. I was extremely tired and cranky 90% of the my days. Last week I started to feel better and now I feel like I'm back to my old self again! I am starting to have a little "pooch." My pants are officially supported now by a bella band and yesterday I wore my first pair of maternity pants to work! This picture was taken yesterday and this outfit was so comfortable, I felt like I had pajamas on all day! Did I mention I can't wait to have my hair colored! Reality is setting in with Ron and I that we will soon be parents. We have been recently discussing baby names... mostly disagreeing on baby names! I have become obsessed with searching for nursery furniture and crib bedding online. Brooke introduced me to a custom bedding website out of Fairhope, AL, www.javisdavis.com. This is most likely where I will purchase the baby's crib bedding from. Their website is amazing. You can virtually create the bedding to your likeness and play around with the different fabric groupings. I'm also leaning toward furniture from Babies-R-Us or JCPenney. I'm trying to be pratical, I know babies are expensive! For now, I'm trying not to eat everything in sight and eat well balanced meals and plenty of fruits and veggies. No real cravings lately, just milk, mostly chocolate milk! Pregnancy has been fun so far and I know the best is yet to come!

10 Week Update

Ron and I went for my 10 week appointment on February 5th. We were fortunate enough to hear our baby's heart beat! I was nervous before the appointment about the possibility of the doctor not being able to hear it or locate it but sure enough, they found it immediately! What a relief! The baby's heart beat was 166 BPM, which everyone has been telling me is fast and usually means, it's a girl. The next day I flew to Greenville, NC for my friend Lauren's baby shower and I took this opportunity with my girlfriends to officially spill the beans about my pregnancy. Everyone was so surprised and it was great being able to tell all the girls in person. Everyone's encouragement and well wishes have been so wonderful, we have a lot to look forward to and we are incredibly blessed!
