Inspiring Spring

Yep...I decided maybe a new background would help me think it was spring outside instead of this snow we keep having. Come on warmer weather. Mama needs some sunshine!

Baby Registry

Well we did it. We braved both Target and Babies R Us on Saturday morning to register for Shim....for those who haven't heard....sometimes I call the baby shim since we dont know what he or she is.....I like it better than it...haha I am crazy.

We started at Target and it was pretty easy (thier selection is limited) and then headed to Babies R Us. It was harder for sure. Both of our registeries say that we havent really registered for enough items but I don't see how that is possible. Who knew shopping for something could be so hard.

Feel free to give me recomendations if you see something i am missing, etc. I also cant stop thinking about it. Thinking maybe I should switch this for that or get it at target vs Babies R Us. I was awake last night from 3-4:30 in the morning just thinking about it....oh my.

UPDATE:
The belly is growing at what I say is a rapid pace. Maybe this little person will make their debut a bit early... I need some more shirts...haha add it to the list huh.

Sewing Fest 2010

We had a big weekend at the Lassiter household! Brian's parents came up and we put them to work:)

Brian and his dad had a honey do list. Hang a curtain rod, install 2 lights, hang paintings, fix drywall, hang a shelf, etc etc Brian's mom Nancy was the seamstress (my mom came to help also) and my job was to cut fabric, iron and make the meals. We got so so much done. We made a bumper for the crib, a long curtain, a crib skirt, a blanket and a pillow. I just have a couple of final touches to do by hand but other than that we are about done.

Check out the pictures of the nursery. I am so happy with it. I also made had a craft project of a little stool.....i got the idea from cole's room so of course I had to try to make one on my own. I am just waiting till the baby is born so we can add the name. There are also some belly shots on the photo gallery...I am growing fast. This baby better slow down or we are going to make the record books.

Enjoy the photos!!!

Second Ultrasound

Well today was our second ultrasound. We are at 20 weeks so it was much different than the first one. I had to drink ALOT of liquid before the appointment...anything other than milk. So I had orange juice and water. The technician asked if I had drank coffee becuase the baby was moving all over the place and she had a hard time getting it to stay still enough to take the measurements. I guess I gave the baby a sugar high from all the OJ. It made me laugh to watch her try to catch it just right.

Everything looked good, the baby weighs about 14 ounces and she said it has long legs and a good size head. Hopefully it wont be my dad's head....we call it the freakishly large head. haha

She also said that she could tell what the sex was but didnt tell us. There was a brief moment of "Okay just tell us" but we stayed strong so it is still a suprise. She doesn't even tell the doctor. It was really fun to watch. They also recorded it all on DVD so we can watch it at home again. Ahhh technology. Here are two photos of the baby.

Oh and I forgot to mention that my belly seems to be growing pretty quickly now and I gained 9 pounds from my last appointment. I gained 2 prior to that for the entire time. I guess 11 pounds in 5 months isnt bad but I hope I dont gain 9 every 4 weeks or I will be in trouble.
