Team Blue!

Yes, Baby Pastor is a BOY! I sent out this exciting news in an email, but neglected to post here and have been chastised for that, so there it is! lol

We are soooo excited! On a Friday after we found out the good news, Mark called me from home (he gets out early on Fridays) and said "someone" has been in our house, but he wouldn't tell me why. So I got home and walked inside to see blue balloons floating from our staircase, a huge NASCAR balloon and a blue "Baby's First Bunny", which Munchie was soooo mad that she couldn't have! Along with a hand-made "Congratulations - It's A Boy!" sign. Only could be the work of Auntie Di-Di. She had told me she was stopping over the house to pick up an extra microwave we had - she's a sneak! It was great.

About two weeks ago I got my baby belly. Overnight. Literally. I don't remember having it on Friday and by Sunday my pants didn't fit. I have also been harassed about pictures of said belly, but I don't have any yet! I will get Mark to take some this weekend and try to get them up here.

All doctor's visits have been perfect. I went to my LAST visit at the hospital last Wednesday (I was going every 2 weeks). The Dr. said that the "risks" I may have had are no longer high risks anymore - especially at this stage of the pregnancy. So just regular office visits from now on. :-)

I have gained back the 10 lbs. I lost in the beginning and probably more since! So Baby Pastor is definitely growing into a healthy boy! At the last ultrasound they had trouble keeping an eye on the heart to get a measurement - little sucker kept flipping over! Eventually I had to lay on my side to contain him! LOL Told Mark his son was NOT behaving at the doctors.

We're well underway with the nursery transformation. New doors are installed and 75% of the wallpaper is removed. One more day of steaming and we should be good. Then we have to agree on a paint color! Decisions, decisions.....
