27 Weeks 3 Days

I know it has been sometime since I have updated the blog. Things have been getting exciting around here. Now that the new year has approached us, Mark and I will be ordering the furniture for the nursery soon. We made an agreement not to make any big purchases until January 1. It made Mark feel more comfortable about the pregnancy and not getting all caught up in the excitement and then something tragic happen. It is not that something tragic cannot happen at this point, just playing it safe. Ian has a better chance of survival at this point if he comes early.




We have rearranged all of the bedroom furniture. My old bedroom furniture joined the old living room furniture (the 70s couches Michelle, Cully, and I had in Savannah) in the in-law suite downstairs. Jaime's bedroom furniture (we are housing it until she returns from Japan) was moved to the middle bedroom so that we could use the back bedroom closer to our bedroom for the nursery. Our main color of choice was a pale yellow. The room was originally painted a dark taupy color. It was quite a drab room. It has now starting taking on a different personality. Any accents will be done in a sage green. I chose the James Giraffe collection (not to be confused with Jeffrey Giraffe, the spokestoy for Toys R' Us).






The most exciting thing to happen occurred today. Our little man has been moving around a lot! It is very exciting, yet very strange and "alien"ish at the same time. Well today, he moved around and kicked hard enough for Mark to feel the movement! It was truly amazing!

For any of you expert mommies out there, check out my registry and let me know if there is something I have left off that will be life saving in the years to come.
