What are you having? I’ll have the shrimp cocktail… (Original post date 6/25/12)

34 weeks today! I’m feeling good except the back is starting to hurt and I feel like I’m going to tip over at any moment. Also, stairs? Not my dearest friends. The baby shower is this coming Sunday and I can’t be even more excited for that! Baby boy is loved loved loved already (as apparent in his closet full of clothes already!).

The nursery is done! We just need a crib mattress, some bedding and we’re good to go! The baby will be sleeping his bassinet for the first 3 months so no rush there. We only have 42 more days! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…

We’re 30 weeks now people! Here’s a look at my bumpity bump.

Cute? Big? Still surreal and odd to me. We’re making good progress here though – baby boy has been kickin’ it. Oh and what’s that you say? The nursery looks like it’s made progress too! I’m in my nesting mode now. Must.have.it.done.soon. My baby will not be sleeping in a drawer! Also, this week, the dogs care immensely.
In other news, we have narrowed the names down to 6 with a very big gap between the top 2 and the rest of the pack. Stay tuned!

Hon, what do you think? Beehive or Chicken Coop? (Original post date 5/17/12)

Have I mentioned how funny my baby daddy is? Because he is. He’s hilarious.

Here we are at 27 weeks! We are now in 3rd trimester people. Try not to fall over with too much excitement. Baby boy is growing and growing. 2nd tri came and went quickly so I hope the same for 3rd. Or not. I love my sleep!

24 weeks - 6 months!! (Original post date 4/16/12)

We have officially crossed the 6 month mark! I wish I could tell you that time is flying but August does still seem forever away. I can’t wait to meet our little son and hold him safely in my arms. Here’s a pic for you – you can see the bump is a bumpin’ and the nursery is almost getting there. We just have to take a “few” storage boxes out to the garage and rearrange some of the existing furniture. Also, add a crib, glider and a baby and make an instant family. I thought the pic was pretty funny considering all 3 dogs are in there. By the way, they were just chasing each other a minute before the pic and this is their time out/rest before the chase ensued again. You can see Peanut in the doorway, waiting to chase again!

20 Weeks! (Original post date 3/19/12)

Here we go!  I tried to use the same tank top that I had in my 17 week photo but it’s in the wash   Here’s me at 20 weeks with a similar tank and same tights.  The baby is measuring at 8 oz and is the same length as a banana!

We’re halfway there!  And yes, the nursery has not been updated!  And the dogs are still whatever!

Is that a 6th toe? (Original post date is 3/8/12)

We’re having a …(scroll down for it!)…

Here are some fun photos from our anatomy scan.  Everything measured healthy and right on schedule.  We are truly blessed with this miracle!

Baby at 18 weeks, 2 days

 Baby’s Fist!  Ready to rock!

Baby’s being flexible

And baby is a…

BOY!!!

But no Grandma, he doesn’t have a 6th toe :)  Just his Aunty’s weird index toe.

I can’t remember the last time I had a baby (Original post date 3/2/12)

If you are just catching up with this blog now, I'm going back to www.milkbabypowder.com and moving all posts to here. Hopefully will be back in "real" time in a week or so.

Conversation we had at Babies R Us the first time we went to register:

Me: Hey, are you overwhelmed?
Mr. Pie: Yeah, kind of. I can’t remember the last time I had a baby.
