102 Days Left

There are 102 days left until my due date. Don't get me wrong - I, in no way, expect Jude by his due date. I know better and am not holding my breath. In fact, I had a dream last week that he was 2 days late and counting...

With 3 months left, I feel like I am entering the nesting stage. We recently received the bedding and room accessories. I really enjoyed putting the room together and didn't want LH to help me much. (unless I needed his help. Like when I decided I probably couldn't fit under the crib to fix the bed skirt.....) I felt like this was something I had to do on my own.

Here are a couple sneak-peaks of Jude's room.

 

More to come, waiting for a couple more pieces before I can say the room is finished. Were going to get an area rug, glider, and put some additional art on the walls. Very exciting!

Another Boy

A little while ago LH and I found out we were going to have another baby. Boy, was that exciting! We had been trying for quite a few months and I was starting to get discouraged. I had just returned from a business trip the day before, I was over a week late for that monthly appointment that us women know so well, and I has just dropped LH off at the airport for a guys trip in Las Vegas. With Hunter asleep I decided "what the heck, it wouldn't hurt anything to take a test!". Lo and behold, positive.

It was such a shock to me because I had just taken a test a day before my business trip, the day I was supposed to have my period, and it was negative.

I called up LH as fast as I could. This was our conversation;

Me: "I'm pregnant!"

LH: "What?"

Me: "I'm pregnant!" (soft crying) "I'm so happy"

LH: "Are you serious? That's great babe! See, I told you it would happen."

Our conversation was cut short since he needed to board his plane (he is at the airport after-all).

Cut to a couple months later... It's a BOY! His name is Jude and he should be here by November 10th. There are some very exciting things to come.

First trimester, about 3 1/2 months

Second trimester, over 5 months along
