Nesting Phase

Since we have hit week 20 we have had some free weekends on hand and have started what i have heard referred to as the "nesting" phase.  We are cleaning out the entire house, putting things in the attic to create more storage for baby items in the house and getting out little guy's room ready!  We have chosen a theme of "peek a boo monsters" very cute and cuddly!  The colors of his room are going to be tan on the top, green on the bottom and brown chair rail, but the monsters bring in some light yellow and light blue as well!  Brian is working hard this weekend to turn this white room into something wonderful!  Having this been out storage room at the house and the only room we never painted it is making the reality of a little boy on the way all that more real!  His next project is building the dresser and crib which we picked up last weekend in a Chestnut wood, so excited to see all the pieces come together!

Before the paint went up!

We now have paint, just need the chair rail and decor!

I am now feeling him kick on a regular basis but only on the inside.  Hopefully soon he will be strong enough to kick so dad can feel and share in my thrill of feeling him :)  It is hard to believe we are already at week 22 and working on the baby's room, planning the shower and registering at the hospital! He is currently measuring the size of a papaya and weighing about a pound. There is a lot going to happen in the next few months in preparing for his arrival and before we know it he will be in our arms! And before that day comes we need a name......to be continued......
