The List is Done!

I have finished my registry...well at least for now. I decided to go with Babies R Us and Walmart. I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted for the nursery and what I would actually use and need. I do wish though there were more options for boys...I found a bunch of girl stuff that I LOVED! All the disney princess stuff is just to cute!!! I went with colors instead of a theme with the nursery but I am doing nemo in the bathroom so I got my disney fixed in with that ((Ryan was not happy with a  mickey  themed nursery lol)

Lost posts

So evidently 3 out of my last 5 post have got stuck in this "posting" place where I can't save them or actually post them....I will try to fix it all later and get some new photos and updates up!

The Finger Roll

I know that everyone is just as much in love with Matthew McConaughey as I am so I am sure you have seen the movie Failure to Launch with him and Sarah Jessica Parker right? and you remember the paintball scene where he tells her to do the "finger roll"(its like moving your first two fingers back and forth) when shooting the paintball gun  right?  Of you course you do but I'm sure by now you are thinking why the hell I am going on about some random movie scene well its because I just felt baby Nathan and that is how it feels.    I know most people say it feels lie butterfly flutters but what can I say I watch to many movies I guess haha.

On to news that is not "finger roll" related I am going to my first midwife apt tomorrow and I am getting a little nervous. It is sorta making all this seem real. I will actually meet the person that will deliver my baby and get to tour the hospital hopefully next week...between my schedule and Ryan's schedule its pretty hard to find time when we both have free time. I have heard wonderful things about the midwife that I am going to so I am sure I will love her and the Dr that she shares the office with. I am going to talk to her about a waterbirth since she does them at the hospital I will be delivering at I figured it would be nice to know our options.

Making a List..

checking it twice..gonna find out whos naughty or nice..haha ok so its a little early to sing christmas songs but I just cant stop for two reasons...One I'm super excited about the holidays coming up and two I went to register,well start to register, this week and it made me think of when I was little and writing down a chirstmas list. :)  
My main thing with making my registery is I have just dont feel like I have done enough research yet. Even with some of the stuff that I have done my research I feel like I am just unsure...now before you roll your eyes and tell me that I am way over thinking some of this, I KNOW! I am way over thinking somethings but like every other first time mom I just want my child to have the best.
Some of my main things that I am going to have to look at before I put them on my registry is car seats, baby moniter, baby products, and DIAPERS!!!! Ok so I know most people are thinking I am now way over thinking things. But hear me out, there is a lot to think about, cloth or disposable, and then even after that there is what brand and what type from that brand. I like the idea of cloth but Ryan thinks I am out of my mind. I'm sure I will do a whole post later on my diaper choices and because right now I cant even begin to sort it out.

I have though decided that I am going to register at Baby's R Us and Target. ((well at least I think so)) :)

First Impressions

Since we are looking for a midwife right now and unsure about when our next ultrasound would be we decided to go to a place called First Impressions to check on the baby and as I just posted find out that we are for sure having a baby boy!! We got to preview the 3d ultrasounds which are just crazy to me and go to see him moving around and here the heartbeat! I still cant believe that this spring Ryan and I will be parents. Anyways here are some of the first pic of baby Nathan!

These pictures were done at 14 weeks 3 days

Pink or Blue or Maybe Two??

When you are pregnant the first question is when are you due and then comes the gender question...Boy or Girl? Ryan and I had always said we wanted boys first, we loved the idea of older brother being there for the little sister. Of course we just want a healthy and happy baby, the gender question still gets tossed around a bunch. Ryan wants a boy and has it in his that it will be a boy. I keep going back and forth of what I think it will be...a girl would be great since the cousins closest in age are girls but all the kids around us are boys...I have a strong feeling though that it will be a boy. During all this though my hcg levels had been charted and were higher than expected and for a bit we thought it might be because we were going to have twins...but at our ultrasound at 8 weeks we got to see the flicker of one little heart. So as it goes we decided to do some fun gender predicition test.

The first one we did was the Chinese Gender Prediction....BOY!

The second one we did was the baking soda test...BOY!

We didn't take a pic of this test but the idea of it was you mix pee and baking soda. If it foams its a boy if it doesn't its a girl...mine looked like the first beer out of a keg haha

The Third one we did was the Inteligender Test from walgreens...BOY!

 

So the question is now are we having a boy or girl??????

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!

 

14 Weeks

 

 

I am now 14 weeks and feeling much better! My stomach isnt has sensitve and I am starting to get my energy back. I do have a few headaches a week but overall everything is going great. I am now looking pregnant no matter what I wear.

 

Ryan and I took our first bradely method class saturday and actually enjoyed it much more then I thought we would. It was very informative and with only 3 other couples in the class we get a lot of personal adivce. One thing the class led us to decide is to get a doula. I think it will help a lot with both of us being more comfortable come day of delivery. I am still looking for a midwife but I have decided that I want to deliver at North Fulton. I have one appt thursday and two more to call to schedule appts with so hopefully out of those I will find one. We have also decided that we are going to look further into a waterbirth.
