Here I am at 20 weeks. (Well, actually one day shy of 20 weeks.) Somehow I look like I haven't really grown much since the last picture, but I can assure you I have!

We are halfway through! Baby Boy Timberlake will be joining us in around 20 weeks! I can't wait, but there's so much to do between now and then!

Ultrasound Pictures

He's definitely a boy!!!


Hi Mom and Dad!!!

Isn't he precious???

It's a Boy!

We had our ultrasound today, and we found out that we are definitely having a boy!! We'll post some ultrasound pictures soon, but in the meantime, here's the first outfit we bought when we found out! He is definitely 100% baby boy! =)

Go Big Red!

My awesome friend Mistie bought us our first baby outfit! Isn't it ADORABLE???

We've also received some other sweet baby gifts. The Pooh Bear and blankets are from Barbara, who is on my team, and the Baby Einstein toy is from Alisa, my neighbor and partner in crime at school. I can't wait for our precious baby to get to use and play with his/her sweet gifts!

16 Week Update

Things with Baby Timberlake have been fairly quiet over the last few weeks. I am 16 weeks today, so we're in our second trimester, which is a huge relief. I've started feeling quite a bit better, but I still have occasional bouts of nausea. It's amazing to me that despite the nausea, headaches, expanding hips and swollen ankles, I still LOVE being pregnant. It's the most profound experience I've ever had, and I know it just gets better from here.

For those of you who have been asking, we have narrowed down the names to 2 boy names and 2 girl names, but I'm not at liberty to divulge that information at this time. =) I loved some of the ideas for nurseries, and can't wait to pick one. Hopefully we will soon have a room to call a nursery, and we can begin decorating. We should find out if we're having a boy or a girl on November 13th, as long as Baby cooperates! I promise I'll post just as soon as I can after we find out!

Second Doctor's Appointment

We had our second doctor's appointment, yesterday, October 9th. We finally got to meet our doctor, and we like her a lot. She seems very knowledgeable and efficient. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, and it was so exciting! Little Baby Timberlake had a very fast heartbeat - 160 BPM. I've heard old wives' tales that a fast heartbeat means a girl, but we won't really know until our ultrasound, which we scheduled for November 13th! I am SO excited to find out if we're having a boy or a girl, but I will be thrilled with either! Not to sound cliche, but we just want a happy, healthy baby! We also found out that my blood type is A neg., so I'll have to get a Rhogam shot. I don't know much about this - has anyone else had this? The doctor assured us it was nothing to worry about, but I want to become as knowledgeable as I can about every aspect of the pregnancy!

The pregnancy is going very well so far! We're in the middle of our 13th week, so we're almost out of the first trimester. I still feel a little iffy most of the time, but as long as the baby is healthy, I don't mind. =)

Our next adventure is finding a new place to live! We can't very well have a baby in our tiny, one bedroom apartment! I really look forward to having a nursery to decorate, especially since some of you have given us some really cute ideas! Any ideas for options if we're not allowed to paint? I'm sure there are cute things we can do, I'm just not sure what they are!

So far Huggies is winning the diaper poll! If you disagree, please let me know! We're going to start buying diapers soon, and we want to get the best! Advice is always welcome! =)

Nursery Themes

We obviously don't know yet whether we're having a boy or a girl, but I've been thinking about nursery themes already! I've never been very creative with stuff like that, so I was hoping to get some input from you guys! I would love it if you would post a comment with ideas for boy nurseries and girl nurseries. I can't wait to hear all of your great ideas!
