My bump is officially a 'bump'!

Now I think I actually look pregnant to strangers rather that a fat chick, thank goodness:)

In the last month we have slowly started to gather furniture for the nursey/move old furniture out. We took the spare bed over to Aunt Rara's house so now she has a guest bedroom/study and we moved in the crib and changing table. This past weekend I started work on refinishing a chest for the room. I originally thought it would be a one weekend project, but after starting I quickly changed my goal to a two weekend project. I need some arm power from Brandon before I stain it. My next project is to fix the armoir I want to use in the nursey and then get the room painted. Brandon had races three of the last four weekends so not alot of progress on the scrap shack, BUT he has a three weekend break coming up so I am sure it will be close to being complete at that point.

Things are shaping up, literally and physically. Here is a pick of the baby bump!

I dont have any pics of the also slowly coming to form scrap shack, but Brandon did work on it some this past weekend again. (I will take some pictures as soon as enough is done to be able to tell in a picture) I am getting very anxious to work on the nursery, so I am truely working on patience. I have warned Brandon numerous times that at some point the 'hormones' might cause me to explode if there is not enough progress on the rooms. Hopefully, it wont get to that point;)

Last Wednesday we had our second ultrasound and found out there is a baby BOY in the oven!!! I will admit it brought tears to our eyes. Brandon's were tears of relief and I am not sure exactly why I was wiping away tears, just tears of joy I guess. I am going to spare you the 'it's a boy' picture mainly because I really can't tell on the ultrasound what I am looking at, but here is his profile..
and just for comparison, here is the first ultrasound from December 24, 2008, he is growing fast!

Now I can start shopping, waahoo!!!! This past Saturday Mom, Farrah and I went and got material for the bedding and some of the room decorations. The scrapbook room has been at a standstill for the past three weeks just waiting on the welding to get finished and then Brandon can do the rest (except for the electricity) AND THEN I can work on the baby's room. I will post pics of the scrap room as soon as there is enough worth taking a picture of...

After Brandon and I went on a Sprinkles date...

(and I saved one for later, Brandon couldn't...)

We took my frist pregnancy picture!! We decided to take it with the stipes in the background so we can watch how far out my stomach will go:)

I am guessing at least to the first blue strip!

I came across the blog of Brene Brown http://ordinarycourage.squarespace.com/my-blog/ through Ali Edwards' blog (link is on the side) and now I am both addicted and obsessed. I have even ordered her book (see it on her blog). I thought I would share this quote, hope you check out her blog!

{It's all coming back}

It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now....high school memories that it. Donnell treated me to the Celine Dion concert last night and I think a couple times the poor people sitting around us heard our singing better than Celine! Girl's night is always fun!!

And can I just say that lady has bad ass shoes and a bad ass body!

FUN TIMES:)
