All About Baby!

Friday was a day dedicated to Baby Allen! After a lot of shopping and decision making, we ordered his crib, changing table, glider and ottoman. We are very happy with the decisions we made and can't wait for everything to arrive! It should be here in 8-12 weeks (it's a good thing we didn't wait any longer, I only have 15 weeks left)! We ordered his bedding last week and got it in the mail on Thursday. It is chocolate brown and blue polka dots and stripes. We love the way it looks! It is currently spread-out in the empty nursery. I love walking by the room and looking at it!

We had our 24 week doctors appointment on Friday as well. Everything looks good and Baby Allen is growing big and strong. At first, the nurse had a hard time finding a clear heartbeat because he was moving so much! She would hear it for a second and then he would move and she would have to find it again. After a few minutes he settled down and we heard it nice and loud. He is a very active little baby!!! I feel him moving all the time and his kicks are getting stronger and stronger. It is fun to watch my belly and see it move up and down as he moves. It is so amazing. Our next appointment will be at 28 weeks and after that I will start to go to the doctor every two weeks. Time is going so fast!

I posted a recent bump picture and as you can see I am growing more and more everyday! A few weeks back I bought some clothes for our upcoming trip to Florida and I am worried that they might not fit when we leave in two weeks...yikes! I am currently debating the swim suit issue...Should I wear a bikini and let my belly look the way it does, or should I cover it up with a tank-ini or a one piece (which I have not worn since grade school.) I tried on some of my swim suits from last summer for Kevin and he quickly vetoed some and approved a few. I guess I will just bring a little of everything and see how I feel when we get there. If I do wear a bikini, I will not be posting any pictures!!!

We had a beautiful MN weekend and spent lots of time outdoors. It felt great to get some fresh air and be out and about again. We are looking forward to spring and of course summer!
