Our eggplant...

Yup, that's right, I somehow let Grant get to the size of an EGGPLANT (!!!) before starting any sort of record of this journey. (Score one mom point for me!).

When we started this process in November, he was a wee poppy seed, now I'm 25 weeks pregnant with a crazy kicking baby boy.

I saw my stomach move with his kicks yesterday which was a whole lot of strange but very nice at the same time. He seems to be transverse at the moment as I get slammed in my far right and left sides as opposed to the center of my belly. Fine now, not so sure how that will feel when he's 7lbs!

I don't really know where to start as I've let a whole 25 weeks go by without a peep. First thing's first, Jon and I found out we were expecting a baby right before Thanksgiving '08 . After an initial freak out, we embraced and studied the world of OB's, cribs, and cravings!

In March, we found out our baby is a he, now a Grant, and I slowly stepped away from the infant girl dresses and ran for the puppy dog onesies. Everyone seemed to know he was a boy, I didn't have one person guess 'girl'. Grant didn't want to cooperate at the big ultrasound but I begged the tech to let me jump around and try again because as I said "I don't do green".

Soon after the shopping ensued and we now own this bedding....



which I am in love with and debating not even painting the nursery as it's the same color as the picture above.

At this point, I'm trying to get my registry up to snuff and get on top of my reading. My cousin Shannon, aka my new found pregnancy guru, has told me to immediately read this book...

so I am planning on starting all 500+ pages of it this week, I am always up for an excuse to go to the bookstore. Now if only I can get motivated! Haha.
