Carpet and Crib: Check

Ok, we had the carpet installed and we setup up the crib! It all looks very nice! Here is a picture of Fatima and I with the crib.

Here is one of Fatima with the crib that I thought was nice and in this picture you can see the carpet better.

Thanks again to Fatima's Mom for getting us the crib, it is very nice and we appreciate it a lot!

New Carpet Coming Soon!

So, the carpet guy came and we decided to go ahead and get the carpet done in the master bedroom and nursery. It was really bad and really needed to be done. We decided on "Taupe Mist" for both bedrooms. It has a good mix of durability and not being to light of a color which we think will help with the wear and possible accidents with the baby coming. We are looking forward to the padding as well. The guy was shocked when he stood on our current carpet and wasn't even sure that there was padding at all, it is that hard. Anyway, we look forward to getting this done so we can start setting up the room and get the crib in there and out of the living room! It gets installed next Saturday and we will be sure to take some pictures and share them here when it is done.

Baby Crib

Now that we know what we are having, a Boy, we thought it would be ok to start getting things in preparation. Fatima's mom wanted to help out by getting us some of the furniture for the nursery, so this past weekend she bought and had shipped the crib for us, Thank you! We recieved the crib on Thursday (that was quick) and now it sits in our living room waiting for us to possibly get the carpeting replaced in the nursery (the previous owners ripped the hell out of the carpet at the entrance of the room) and then assemble it. Here is a stock photo of the crib.

Kitty likes the crib, still yet to be seen if he is going to like what will be going into the crib! We have an appointment with the carpet guy today to get an estimate, any ideas for color and type?

Our Baby Boy at 20 weeks!

So we went to the OB today to have our half way point Ultrasound and we found out that our baby is a boy! It took about an hour for the tech to figure that out, but none the less we are going to be proud parents of a new boy in just about 20 more weeks (give or take a few weeks)! Here is a picture of our soon to be new addition.

Its a BOY!

We will post proof later tonight! Still at the doctors, we will post more later! Anyone have suggestions for a name?

What's it going to be!

We will be finding out if our baby is a boy or girl in T - about 1 hour! We will keep you posted!

16 weeks in Doctors Appointment

So we had our 3rd doctors appointment where we got to meet Dr. Beyer, another of the 4 doctors in our doctors practice. She was very nice and gave Fatima a good tip to help with her heart burn (Pepcid not Tums). The doctor asked the usual questions about how Fatima was feeling and what not and then proceeded to do a "belly check". I guess thats OB for use the doppler machine to check the heart beat.

Here is what we heard!

A healthy 150 bpm!

After that Fatima had some more blood drawn for a test to check for Downs Syndrom and Neural Tube Defects, sounds scary but we are not high risk for those things! Anyways, our next appointment is in 4 weeks with Dr. King and we are excited because this is when we get another Ultrasound and find out the baby's sex!

Also, we got a baby present from Fatima's Mom! She sent us our first onesie! She also sent us a receiving blanket (which we will take with us to the hospital), a frame, mini picture album, a rattler ducky, little baby socks (a years supply!), and 2 baby shirts! Thanks Grandma!
