Here are the pictures as promised. After seeing the house again tonight, I have so many ideas running through my head on how I will decorate. Jeff and I are working with our landlord on a lease to purchase option, so eventually it will be ours if things go as planned.

Yippeeee!

Jeff and I have found the house that we will be renting! I am SO incredibly relieved. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath, 1700 square feet, with a wonderful wood deck built in the backyard. It is literally across the street from work and not even a mile from where we are at right now. Oh and get this, Aiden's room is already painted blue! I don't have any pictures yet, but I will by tomorrow. Looks like I will start packing the apartment tonight as we are able to start moving in this weekend if we want. Can you tell how happy I am?

This is how I feel: HOORAY!

Cannot seem to make up my mind!

Jeff and I finally registered at Babies R Us yesterday. It only took us 2 hours! Let me tell you, it was actually really overwhelming for me. Not to mention I am now apparently the type of person that will stand there in the aisle and debate about what brand of bottles to buy for a good 10 minutes. I don't know if I have always been like this, but many thanks to Jeff for only rolling his eyes a couple of times....ha ha.

I actually was even able to find bedding that I liked. However, after all of the research I did on the "green theme" room and asking everyone to vote on the different patterns, I woke up the other day and decided not to do green anymore. (Thank you to everyone who voted !)I know, it's annoying to me too. Here is the bedding I registered for instead:
Now I think I will have to start researching furniture. We will definitely be doing the dark stained wood. Or will we? Who knows how many times I will change my mind about that!

16 more weeks?

Today is week 24 for me and I am already counting down the days. We have been so busy lately that I am sure the time will fly.

During our short visit in Arizona our friends Patty and Eric gave us a Doppler that they had used when she was pregnant with their beautiful daughter Sophie. Jeff and I have been having fun with that, listening to Aiden's little heartbeat. Here is a picture of me and little Sophie.


I will also be scheduling the 3D/4D ultrasound in about 3-4 weeks, so I am SUPER excited to see what his little face looks like. For now here is an update on where baby Aiden is at:

"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon."

Currently from my point of view: (I have a bathing suit on, I hope no one is offended by this)

Cabo San Lucas

Cabo was amazing as always and as all good things do, it unfortunately had to come to an end. Here are some pictures from the trip ~ ENJOY, we certainly did!

Jeff, is sure happy to be here.

Holy Smoke!

I'm sure that many of you have heard about all of the fires in Northern California. It really is terrible! Here is a picture from yesterday of downtown Sacramento. Between the headaches, burning eyes, sneezing, and the nausea I feel all of a sudden today, I am ready to get the heck out of here for a few days. (OK, so maybe it's the little guy in my belly making me nauseous, but still!)

Lemon-aiden

You may have noted in a previous post, how I was disappointed and having a hard time finding things such as bibs and onesies with lemon designs on them. Well my troubles are over, I seem to have hit the jackpot today. I was able to find them on www.cafepress.com just by doing a "lemon" search....who knew?? How fun are these?

After a long day

It must be about 3:00!

As expected we had an ABSOLUTE BLAST camping. The weather was beautiful and we were lucky enough not to be effected by any smoke from the California fires. Thanks to Dan and Kami, we got all of our meals cooked for us and they were awesome!! Cannot wait to do it again next year.
