One month left!

One month to go! I can't believe it's so close! Our little boy is doing great! He was 5 1/2 lbs at my last appointment and everything is checking out fine! Here's a picture of how huge I'm getting! And there's still more to go! Yikes! :)
There's still so much to do! I'm getting a lot more done though. I pre-registered at the hospital after getting a quick look around and I'm almost done packing my hospital bag! There are a few things I'm waiting to pack, like snacks and a sandwich for John (obviously!).
Also, I finished taking" inventory" for baby to see what we have for him. I can't wait for him to come! He's going to be the cutest baby boy ever! (If he looks like John, that is!)

So, I decided that every pregnant lady should have the opportunity to get their picture taken in a Barbie box. They randomly had this on campus, so John and I hurried to take a picture! Definitely a highlight of the week!I barely fit in the box though. It was kind of small, and I'm, well, kind of big at the moment! (that might be an understatement. Haha!)

Well, almost there! Only about three weeks left and all is going great! It's amazing how sometimes you wish that life would just pause, like as if it couldn't get any better. And then, sometimes less than a year later, you find yourself wishing the same thing all over again! I guess it just goes to show it keeps on getting better! :)

It's a Boy!!!

We found out on Wednesday, November 14th that we're having a sweet baby BOY!!! John and I are so excited! We would've been fine with either a girl or a boy, but we were both secretly hoping we'd have a boy first.When the doctor told us, we just sat in stunned silence for a second. I guess when it came time that we actually found out, we just didn't know what to say! We just kind of sat there smiling. Haha!

Even though we wanted a boy first, we weren't able to think of any boy names that we for sure liked. (We thought of lots of girl names though...ironic!) The only name I wanted to name one of my sons was Jonathan and then I got lucky and actually married one instead!

So, yeah, we're still deciding on the name. We have a few in mind, but we decided that we're not officially choosing one for him until he's here. There are a few we've crossed off our list however, such as:
Tommy
Sarge Le Starge
and Bucky Braynard (Sorry Dad)

Well, the time's moving fast and we still have a lot to do to get ready!
