New Belly Pics and Nursery Update

First of all, here are the newest belly pics! It's getting bigger and bigger every day. I went to a craft show this weekend and some guy that was working there asked if I only had 3 weeks left. I just kind of laughed and said, "No, 3 months." Then he got this look of shock on his face and said I must be having twins and when I said no he said "Well, it must be a really big boy!" Then he proceeded to tell me how miserable I am going to be by the end. I love how people feel the need to tell you exactly what they think when you're pregnant.

Week 25

Week 26

Week 27

We also got the OK from our landlord to paint the baby's room this week! So, we went to Home Depot and picked out a color. I tried to find the exact match online so I could show everyone but this is the closest thing I can find. It's a very pale blue/grey color. Sort of like this:

New Pics and Announcement!

We have been so busy that we haven't been able to post anything in almost a month! It seems like time is flying by and our baby will be here really soon!! First, here are the most recent bump pictures. I can't believe how un-photogenic (is that a word) has made me. I used to take good pictures! I promise!

Week 21

Week 22

Week 23

Week 24 (I think Zoe feels left out of the weekly picture-taking)

One of the girls at work told me my belly seems to get bigger every day (and it it does). Here is a self portrait I took a few days ago.
This seems to be a better picture of me....maybe I'll start taking the weekly pics in the morning.

And finally, most of you know already but for those of you who don't.......we have a NAME! We will be naming our little boy Gareth Drake Brightbill.

We can finally start planning the nursery!

After looking at a TON of bedding sets, we have finally decided on one that Justin and I both like. I had originally thought I wanted something that was blue and brown and then after going back and forth with primary colors, green and brown and blue and red....we have come back to blue and brown. Guess I should have listened to my instincts in the first place. Anyway, the bedding is blue, brown and tan with stripes and polka dots and we are going to accent with puppy accessories. I've posted pictures of a few of the items we have found so far. Hope you like it!

Kind of spooky.

Apparently there are boy parts in there.

Snow, Dad's Visit and Bump!

It snowed 5"-6" last Monday! This is the first time it's snowed this much since we've lived here! Here are some pictures.



And my dad and Jan are here visiting this week! We've had a great time so far. Today, we went to Old Town Alexandria and went to an Irish restaurant and walked around the little shops.


And last but not least, the bump this week. Week 19! Tomorrow we find out if it's a boy or a girl. Stay tuned....
