24 Weeks and 1 Day...

WOW...Time has really been flying! I can't believe it has been 24 weeks already. In twelve days, I will have less than 100 days until the due date. I am very excited.
We have decided on a name. We have had this name for a while, (thanks to my mom for thinking of it) and I knew as soon as I heard it, we would have to name her that.
Kylie Jo will be here in July (if not before).
We are trying to get everything ready. This last weekend I got a whole box full of really cute baby clothes. Our top two drawers of the dresser are already filled! Thank-you very very much to Jenny (and of course Sophia)!!! Yesterday we found some stencils of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies to paint in the nursery. Actually, Joe picked them out. They will go perfect with the bedding that we picked out. Mom bought me some curtains (actually sheers) to put on the windows in the nursery. One set is a bright green and the other is a pink. I can't wait to finish the decorating (even though we have quite a way to go). We still have to get the crib and changing table from our friends. I think the nursery will be very cute once we get done. I'm so blessed and happy to have such a crafty and creative mom who helps me pick out stuff and decorate (and who also passed some of her craftiness to me)!

Joe and Ryan held up their end of the bet. Joe picked out baby Mac N Cheese for them to eat. We bought two jars thinking they would each eat a jar, but after smelling it we decided that one bite would be enough. Joe took a bite first and almost swallowed it, but he said his gag reflex kicked in, so he spit it out. Ryan took a bite next, and the look on his face was priceless. I wish I had my camera. He too spit it out! The rest went into the trash! After the yummy (yucky) baby food, we took Ryan to lunch for pizza to get the bad taste out of his mouth.

We are having...

We had our appointment today. She was definitely not modest. Everything is looking good. The doctor said she is about 13 oz right now. My weight is now back to what it was when I found out I was pregnant. Doctor said to keep gaining.
After the appointment we had a lot of calls to make. Everyone I called was surprised to hear it was a girl. They all thought it was a boy. Joe was surprised too. He has been calling the baby a boy the whole time. Before we found out, Joe and Ryan made a bet with me. They both thought it was a boy, and if they were wrong they would have to each eat a jar of baby food (not the good kind). Now we have to go get some baby food! I told Joe we now have to refer to her as a girl, instead of "the baby". I am very excited. Can't wait to start getting all of the decor for the nursery. Due date is still July 13th. Next appointment is April 7th.

One Week and One Day...

In one week and one day we will be finding out if Baby R is a girl or boy. I can't wait! Our appointment is at 2:00 on March 9th. My mom is going with us too. Hopefully the baby will cooperate and give us some good pictures.
There are a lot of opinions on what the gender will be. My mom, dad, and I think it is a girl, while Joe and Ryan think it is a boy. I have a bet going with Joe and Ryan. If they are wrong, they have to each eat a jar of baby food (and not the good kind). They haven't told me what I have to do if I am wrong. Whatever the outcome, I will be excited just to be able to finally find out. Joe really wants a boy so he can have his Red Sox fan to watch games with (apparently I'm not enough company). Even if it is a girl I'm sure she will get into the games too. We have found some really cute Red Sox clothes, blankets, etc in pink and also in blue so I'm sure we will have plenty of Red Sox stuff for baby. Friends and family have also put in there opinion as to what it is. Half think girl, the other think boy. Who will be right????? We will have to wait!
The baby's room is finally getting cleaned out. We got rid of the old broken futon, and someone is coming to get the dresser that we had in there. There is also an armoire that my brother is taking and a side table that my mom wants. As soon as we get that stuff out, our friends said they would bring over the crib and changing table. Joe will be very busy putting together that plus the shelf and dresser we bought at IKEA. We will have to put Ryan to work too! Once the nursery is ready I think it will really set in (even more than now) that there will be a little one in the house.
Not only am I excited about the baby, but I am also excited that we will be in the new hospital. It will only be a few months old, so it will be really nice. We will definitely have to take a tour so we don't get lost!

I can't believe that in about four months there will be a baby in the house. Time is flying (and hopefully the labor and delivery does too).
