Half-way there

We've hit the half-way mark now. In just the last couple of days my belly button has begun to disappear. The baby is now 10" long from head to toe and I will gain about a pound a week now which may explain my growing appetite. We've put away most of our baby shower gifts in the "new" dresser we bought. It's starting to look like a baby's room in here.

under the sea

We went shopping in Portland and stopped at a mall on the way home. The first store I spotted was a Pottery Barn Kids and I asked John if we could go in. I said, "I know we won't buy anything, it's so expensive, but I just want to look." Their crib bedding is so cute. We were looking at it all and John found one he loved...sea creatures.
All of their bumpers are $70-100, just for the bumper! But this one was on sale. We asked the price and were told $11.99! So, of course we brought it home. Its adorable. It has a sea turtle, an octopus, a seahorse, a sand dollar, a sea star and more embroidered on it. We're planning to have solid sheets to go with it. We've already been asked and we're not going to do a sea life theme, we'll probably just use the colors in the bumper for the room.
We can't wait to see everybody in FL and share our new ultrasound pics that we'll have by then.

It's moving!

On Thursday, I was driving home from work and I felt like I drove over a big dip in the road. My stomach sort of flip-flopped. I realized I hadn't driven over anything and the feeling wasn't going away, it changed a little bit. So I knew then it was the first little flutterings of our baby. I felt it again a couple times on Friday at school too.
Its the most excited I've been since we found out we were pregnant.
