Baby Dreams

I've had some pretty crazy baby dreams lately...

In my dream last night I had a baby boy and we came home from the hospital and we didn't have anything for the baby. We had just a portacrib someone had lent us... Dan and I were frantically making lists for what we needed. It was September in my dream and all I could think is that the baby was earlier than we thought - but he was totally healthy and I figured I got the due date wrong.

I am also currently reading a book called 'baby wise' - it's a guide to getting your baby on a schedule so they have a somewhat normal sleeping schedule by the time they are 6-8 weeks old. The number one premise is that in the first 7-10 days that your baby is home you are getting them to eat full meals - your schedule will be whacked but that should be the number one goal. So of course I'm dreaming about breast feeding and trying to figure out that whole process in my dream. Pretty hilarious actually! I was telling Dan all about the book last night and he asked 'can we change our minds now?' ha! It's going to be so much work - and this book really gives you an idea of what you will be going through. Every baby is so different, I'm hoping ours isn't a little monster right off the bat!

We are cleaning out our basement this weekend - we have to get it prepped to start the whole finishing process. Cleaning it out alone is going to be a task! The county called me today, my permit should be processed by next week - yah! I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything we have to do this summer...I really hope the basement goes smoothly and we are pretty much done with that by end of Sept / early October. I want to get that baby room together!

Dan got a new mountain bike yesterday off of craig's list. It's AWESOME! it's a 22 lb bike - really light. he bought it from a guy who races and he had this bike for racing alone. It looks brand new and was taken great care of. Dan's excited to join some of his buddies on weekend trail rides.

I'll have an updated belly pic for next week - next Tuesday I'll be exactly halfway there - CRAZY!

18 weeks and counting...

It's been a while, but I'm back to blog! And I bring good news - I'm prego! 18 weeks, 1 day to be exact. The first trimester was roooough, lotsa sickness...but I'm over the hump and feeling great now! I am starting to show a little, I had someone actually notice the other day that I didn't know!

Pictures here are of me at 11 weeks (top one) and then today. I thought I had a belly at 11 weeks, I'm sure I'll look back at today's shot and find it funny in a few months. Growing belly - still white as a ghost too!

We are headed to the Moore's this weekend to hang out at the WYO ranch. We are caravaning with the Efflands, we are really excited for a weekend getaway. Dan is excited to fish with Jaxon and ride the good old Rhino. My mom is doing Ironman CDA this weekend, big accomplishment for her. It will be fun to watch on Ironmanlive.com to see how she does! Go Mom!

Stay tuned, I'll keep up with the belly shots in the coming months!
