Painting the Baby Room!

Since the last post and finding out that we're having a boy, friends, family and myself have not stopped buying things for baby Logan! The day after our Finding Out Party, I had to go to Babies 'R Us and purchase boy clothing. I couldn't help myself! Everything was so adorable, so let's just say I went on a mini shopping spree!

I haven't registered yet, but I have selected my bedding! However, the bedding was on sale at Pottery Barn Kids and I was afraid that by the time my showers were here, the bedding would be gone. I was explaining this situation to my best friend, Angela, when she admitted to me that she and my other best friend, Joelle, were planning on purchasing my bedding anyway! The bedding is a Hawaiian-tropical theme. I fell in love with it because it has a mixture of blue, green, yellow and red colors. So, we decided to paint the room in a light blue!

Mimi and Tia (my mom and sister) have not stopped buying things for our little one as well! They also went on a mini shopping spree in Seal Beach at an adorable baby boutique there. A couple weekends ago my mom called me and said, "We have to go shopping for baby furniture!" So, it was off to Babies 'R Us and Bergstroms. I fell in love with a glider at Babies 'R Us and my sweet sister insisted on buying it for me. Then we went to Bergstroms and I loved a crib and dresser set there and my mom instantly purchased it. What can I say? I'm a lucky girl and Logan is already so loved!

Once we purchased the furniture, Daddy had to paint the room blue and assemble the furniture. Josh has been so busy around the house with numerous projects, but he bumped this project to the top of his list!

In my 22nd week I began to feel some slight flutters in my stomach! I occasionally feel flutters every now and again, but they're still so slight that I question whether it's the baby or my hungry stomach! The doctor says that's normal and that as my pregnancy progresses, the flutters will be more pronounced and I will definitely know it's the baby.

I'm approaching my 24th week and I'm doing well! I still require lots of sleep in the evenings and as long as my sophomore students aren't driving me crazy, then I typically feel okay at work.

Please enjoy some pictures from painting Logan's room to assembling the beautiful furniture.

Here I am at almost 24 weeks! I definitely have a baby-bump!

This gorgeous crib converts into a toddler and adult bed!
