Kick!

Last night Rowan (99% sure that will be his name) was moving around like crazy. I put Derek's hand on my belly and sure enough he felt the little guy kick! It was pretty awesome. He's pretty active at night when I'm lying in bed. Right now he's kicking me too. It's such a weird feeling.
I'm getting so excited to meet Rowan. We signed up for our birthing class and it starts April 1st and lasts for about 12 weeks. We're doing the Bradley Method class. The class is sort of expensive but since we planned for this baby so well it's not a big deal. I've heard great things about this class and am so excited to do it with Derek. We're planning on a natural birth which is why I feel we need this class. The instructor is also a Doula (google it if you don't know what it is) and so we're going to talk to her about that as well. We feel that the more support and knowledge we have during the birth the better it will be for everyone involved.
Oh Boy! Things are moving right along!

More baby stuff

I have spent hours looking for the perfect bedding set for our bundle of joy and have come up empty handed every time. Every set comes with bumpers, I don't want the normal bumpers, as they can be dangerous. I want the breathable bumpers so my baby won't suffocate if his face is next to them. However, breathable bumpers don't come in bedding sets. I know I have made this very difficult, but I finally found a solution. I am making (well with the help of my mom and sister) the nursery set. I fell in love with this fabric and Derek actually loved it too!

Now we just have to make it! I think it is going to turn out so cute.

Halfway Cooked!

I can't believe that my little boy is halfway ready to come! It has gone by so fast. Besides the horrid heartburn and having to eat so I don't get sick things are going pretty well. I fell this little guy swimming, swirling, and twirling inside me all the time now. I feel little kicks and punches more often now too. I LOVE it! It is the most amazing feeling and I can't wait until Derek can feel it. I know the next 20 or so weeks is going to fly by, especially once I'm done with work on May 22nd. Oh, I'm just so excited for this precious boy to join our family.
