22 weeks

Baby bump continues to grow! We got to have another ultrasound and see our beautiful boy again. (They checked, he is definitely a boy:-D) We got to go again because during the first one he was resting against my spine and they couldn't see his spine. Our dads came with us this time, which was cool. He is still in the breech position (which explains all those kicks to my bladder). His spine is perfect though! The ultrasound seemed to have a lot more detail this time, I guess because he is bigger (around a pound. Such a heavyweight!) but the pictures they printed for us aren't great. There is a really cool shot of his hand where you can see all the fingers and thumb. His hands were both up around his face, which is how his dad sleeps too. His legs were also folded up in front of him, which you can see in the one thing we have that looks like a profile. It's not nearly as good as the last one though.


Little hand. :-D


Feet pressed together


The ultrasound tech said he looks "cozy". Looks uncomfortable to me.

Our nursery room is cleaned out, but empty except for the cradle and a few little knitted things. Our closet, however, is PACKED thanks to tons of awesome hand-me-downs! Thanks Jasmine, Jessy, Carrie, and Katie!

Registered!

We are registered! We went to Asheville today and spent for-ev-er at Babies R Us and Target looking at everything you could possibly need for a baby. Who knew this little guy would take so much gear? (I know, every mom that ever was, but hey, I'm new at this. :-D) The number of choices was mind boggling. We left literally out of breath from all the deciding. But now it is done and can be viewed online at the BabiesRUs website and the Target Website. Search for my name and we should come up. Remarkably, there are 26 other registries at Babies R Us that have the name Fleenor. As you browse, if you see anything particularly random or weird, bear in mind that Josh had control of the scanner. :-D

Super Sister

Sara is starting a new project with her Ukranian Eggs called Eggs for Eggs. I could write pages and pages about how awesome she and it are, but instead, I will direct you to her own blog: Eggs For Eggs

Life is Good Quest

So when we were on our honeymoon 3 years ago I saw this in a Life is Good store and loved it, but felt funny buying baby clothes 3 days after we got married. It has been in the back of my mind ever since, but I never ran across it again. When we found out about our little boy I started searching, and I can't even find it on the website. I thought I would put a picture of it up on the blog and see if anyone else out there has seen it. If you do, please please please call me, K? :-D

School Blog

I posted a link to my school blog in the list on the right. This blog is updated by my students every week. The latest entry was written by a 9 year old about his teacher being pregnant. :-D

Baby Boy!

It's a boy! Our little guy did great in the ultrasound. Our ultrasound tech is a heart specialist, so she took all kinds of pictures of his heart. He has all his chambers and arteries and they are connected properly. His stomach and kidneys and brain look beautiful also! She couldn't get a good look at his spine because he was sitting up crisscross applesauce against my spine, so we have to go back in 3 weeks for some more pictures. Darn. :-D The tech and the doctor both assure us that nothing looks funny, they just have to see it. He looks beautiful! Mommy thinks he looks like Adam and Lisa thinks his nose looks like Emily. Maybe it's both. Can't wait for our next glimpse at him. Now to come up with some boy names.

Also, as promised, some pictures of my latest projects. I love the way this blanket turned out. I made these mittens this weekend after we met our little boy. :-D

16 weeks

So, defiantly progressing on the baby belly. I cannot wear any of my dress pants, so for school this week I had to try out the maternity pants for the first time. Comfy. :-D

I also finished the baby blanket I started, but as my husband and his camera are almost never home when I am awake, I don't have a picture of it. It looks like I will need to get my own camera before this baby gets here.

Other news from our house: School has started. Bridges is a lot less intimidating the second time around. The first two days were almost easy. I guess that is the benefit of having all the same kids in the same room with the same staff. I am keeping up a blog there too, if anyone is interested: Bridges Rocks!

Also, our dear Emily Fleenor the original has gone away to school this very evening and left all of us to think about how awesome she is and how lousy our lives are without her. Good thing she is going to have such a good time. :-D
