9 weeks to go!!!!

Hey all! As of tomorrow we have officially 9 weeks left until our due date! It feels so close yet still so far away!!! We are SO ready for him to be here. Miche is getting so impatient it's almost as bad as trying to make him wait until Christmas to open his presents. :) It's fun that he's so excited tho. We're gonna have a blast with this little bambino!

We had another appointment last Wednesday. It was so awesome! Usually we end up waiting AT LEAST 20 min. (OBGYN's tend to be busy. Babies needing to be delivered and what not, we understand :) ) Our record is actually just over an hour and a half lol. But anyways, they were ready and waiting for us when we got there. And we were in and out in like 15 minutes! It was great. But anyways! I was going to try and post a pic from our ultrasound, but we were in the room with the crappier ultrasound machine this time (it's still fantastic, our doctor's office has AMAZING machines), so the ultrasound is a little fuzzy and unless you can actually see the video, you can't really tell what you're lookin' at. But we did get a good look at his little face. (note: his arm was yet again up by his face! He gets that from his dad. :) ) The doc measured his head and belly and his head was about a week ahead of average and his tummy was right on track. I asked the doc if he could tell if he was a big baby or just average and he said that as far as his head goes, that of 100 people with babies due on our due date, 40 of their heads are bigger at this point, and 60 are smaller. (statistically speaking of course) So it's a little big, but not huge. He also said the machine read the baby as weighing 3 lbs. 5 oz.! (again, awesome machines I tell ya) So by the time we go in next (February 4th by the way) he should way over 4 lbs! Growing fast! And he estimated that the little guy will probably be about 7 3/4 lbs. when he's born. Which sounds just about perfect to me! :) Also, the little guy is still in breach position with his head up in my ribs. But the doc said it could take a few more weeks before he turns. So no worries there. :) All in all a good appointment. Next appointment we get to do another 3D ultrasound! I'm excited!

In other baby news, we changed course on what we are doin' for his nursery. We went and registered at Babies R Us after our appointment and found the CUTEST bedding! Here's a pic!

Isn't it fun?! The picture really doesn't do it justice. The comforter is all different kinds of fabric and SO soft and fluffy :). He's gonna love it. We found a cute black crib and changing table to go with it so it should be so super cute! :) But MAN! Can I just tell ya, baby stuff is EXPENSIVE!!! I know people say that all the time. But it really does add up. Lucky for us we have some great family and friends that are helping out not only with getting stuff but with throwing a couple showers too :). It helps so much! I can't imagine buying everything alone with no help! But anyways, back to the nursery! Michie is gonna print off some big vinyl wall clings of the animals and grass and leaves to put up all around his room. (Living in an apartment that's a better option than painting...lol) It's going to be SO cute! :) We're hoping to get most if not all of it done in Miche's week (not this week but next, I'm so excited!) So I will be sure and post pictures of the actual nursery then! :)

We have really started having fun with all this baby stuff. It's so exciting getting ready for the little guy to get here. We're having a blast with it! :) And it's not much longer now! We're so excited!
