Nursery.... check.

We had our last scheduled ultrasound this morning. From here on out we will just be measuring my belly and listening to his heart at the upcoming appointments, unless there is a reason that comes up later, the doctor feels that we have a healthy baby and are right on track and there is no need for anymore ultrasounds. They confirmed once again that we are indeed having a boy! (With all these early predictions turning out wrong around me lately I was happy to hear that.) He is 12oz and is looking healthy and strong. I have not felt any major kicks but the ultrasound tech said that with his size it is only a matter of days before it will begin. I am excited to start feeling him all the time. (Zeb may hear sing a different tune when I am trying to sleep and the little man is going to town in there! Lol)

We started and completed construction on the nursery last week. Zeb had the help of a friend that does home restoration to install the new crown molding and chair rail. It all turned out beautifully! Exactly as I had imagined it would be. We also received our nursery furniture last week. My husband, being the great man that he is, spent the whole day Friday painting the nursery and then the whole evening putting together the furniture. It all looks great. I will admit, it is a little surreal seeing the crib in that room… puts it all into reality. A great and wonderful reality…

For all of you that know me well, you know that it doesn't take long for me to get my hands on a room and start decorating. I’ve already found some great nautical finds! I’m making burlap curtains tonight, I’ll post pictures of all the fun décor details as I get them the way I want them.

And on to the baby registering! I can’t believe I’ve been able to hold off this long! I am looking forward to dinner with my girlfriend Katy and registry shopping. She is going to make sure I register for all the right items and the ones I actually need, since I have NO CLUE what I will need.

Should be fun!!!
