17 weeks!

Yet another milestone! I am 17 weeks! Still having trouble with the morning sickness and by now it should be gone but for those unlucky few it sticks around. As new symptoms appear such as leg cramps, not sleeping, and continuous heart burn, it's clear to me we are almost half way there and the end is in sight. Our furniture is scheduled to be delivered Tuesday and that is exciting.

Paint Complete!!!

His room is now green!!! I hate to paint and yes I will admit his room is the only room in our entire house that is a color other than cream....we moved into our brand new house with the paint from the builder and because I hate to paint so much we haven't changed it....but any way here it is in all it's glory....finished!! The furniture should be here in about a week!

Xavier's closet!

Ya he already has a ton of clothes! I got everything on sale!

Xavier's room

Here is his empty room....we are picking paint soon and hope the furniture will be here in a few weeks!

16 weeks!

Here is my first pregnancy photo.....16 weeks and finally have a bump it popped out this week! It makes it feel so real!

Crib!

We are thinking this one! I like the fact is goes from a crib, to a toddler bed, then to a full size bed. The armoire will be a wardrobe for now and then a perfect place for the TV later and the changer will later become a dresser. It matches our houses wood work perfectly and is one of the top cribs on consumer reports. It's versatile and will last until the kids goes to college or the kid sister comes along (so we hope). We have looked at a million different places and as for price and quality you can't go wrong with Babies R Us.

Xavier's room

We picked out the bedding isn't it cute!!! We are gonna go with a green & brown theme with monkey's. Now the crib we are thinking about is way different than this one...once I find pictures I'll put them on here.

15 weeks

Ya 15 weeks today!!! Another mile stone!!

Xavier Robert Livers

So the name will be drum roll please..... Xavier Robert......finally we have decided!

It's a boy!!!

We had a routine doctors appointment today, we were the last appointment of the day and the nurse had trouble getting heart tones with the Doppler (it really takes skill at this point in the pregnancy and she's new) so when Dr. Lowe came in she said lets go do an ultrasound for fun. We have a significant history Dr. Lowe and I seeing as we have been through a lot together with the surgeries and infertility but anyway we went into the ultrasound room and the baby was all over the place bouncing around. Marcus asked when will we be able to know the sex? She said we can try to look now but she didn't guarantee anything would show just yet I am only 14 weeks 3 days. Well up on the screen pops meat and potatoes as Marcus puts it and she says yup it's a boy after four wide spread leg shots later. So for 20 minutes we got to look at the baby and just play around with him. Dr. Lowe is great and I it really made our day. I know I wanted a girl but I think this is God's way of telling me to have two. If it was a girl we wouldn't be having any more :) So Marcus is grinning ear to ear as we walk out of the Doctor's office. We then went to Babies R Us and of course added a million and one boy things to a registry. We are still stuck on the names but we have plenty of time for that. So it's official we are having a BOY!

It's a boy!!!

Another confirmation of the meat and potatoes :P

It's a boy!!!

Here is the u/s that shows it's a boy!

So we are having a debate about names mostly about the boy names. I like Xavier for the first name, Marcus thinks it's a middle name and likes Christian. I don't like Chris so I am not feeling Christian. So my vote Xavier Christian and Marcus likes Christian Xavier. So thoughts anyone? For the girl I am on the fence I have always said Janessa but I am liking Rylee, Kaylynn, and Arianna (pronounced Are-Eee-Aun-Ah), with the middle name Colleen (that's my middle name and my mom's). Any votes? We won't know what we are having until March so we have a while but can't help but think ahead.

End of First trimester!!

Today marks the beginning of my second trimester! Hopefully the nausea and vomiting will be gone and I will feel better soon! Although my pants are tight and my belly is getting bigger I don't have a bump yet...I am sure it will be here soon enough! I just can't wait to look pregnant instead of just feeling that way!
