I have decided to start a list of the things NOT to say to pregnant woman. I will add to this list as needed. So that I don't embarrass anyone, I will not mention WHO the comments were made by.

1. "Do you really need that second bowl of cereal"?

2. "Oh look, your hips have expanded, your body is getting ready for the baby".

3. "How cute, your face is rounder".

New Years Eve! We went to Guadalajara to celebrate with friends that we are having a little boy! I even got to sip on a margarita while we were there! Yes, my doctor said it was ok and I enjoyed it with a nice glass of water. I think Baby James actually liked the margarita!

Here are a few pictures of Baby James from our last ultrasound which was done at 20 weeks. I have inlcuded one of our 4D pictures. Look closely and you can see his little arm in front of his face. His face is still developing and he will get more fat on him of course.

Derek and I finally got the nursery painted! Well it was actually Derek who got it done, I just feel better when I say we both did it:) I didn't get a picture of Derek painting the nursery but I did get a good picture of the room once it was done. The color is very similar to the guest room but will go well with the babies bedding:) We like those neutral colors!

I figured I should add the other 2 members of our family to our blog. Bud is now 6 months and his older but smaller brother is 3 1/2 years old. Boozer will be 4 on May 23rd only a few days after Baby James' due date!

22 weeks

Derek and I are in the long process of getting not only the nursery ready but our whole house ready for Baby James. The guest room furniture is in the room that will soon become the nursery but before we can move it over to the "new guest room", we wanted to paint. So, Derek spent most of his weekend painting the guest room. It looks great! Now all we need to do is move the furniture over. Derek will be doing that tonight:) Being preggo really limits the activities you can do. Below are a few pictures of Derek painting. He's not too thrilled with getting his picture taken.

Below are some pics of my baby bump. I am so excited I finally have a bump. And although I love having my baby bump I can't help but to look at myself weird in the mirror. It's almost like, "really, my body looks like that". I can't help but to feel like a mama hippo. But I guess I enjoy the mama hippo look!

21 Weeks!

19 Weeks

We have fianally joined the world of blogging! I guess it was about time especially with Baby boy James on the way. We haven't decided on a name yet but its a toss up between Jackson and Davis. We picked Jackson as our first sons name even before we got married so it's really hard for us to give that name up. But on the other hand, we really like Davis. Davis is my Nana's maiden name and with the middle name that we want to use (Derek's middle name Ray) our son would have the same initals as his daddy and his grandfather (who will be called Papa). We really like that idea. It just seems more meaningful to use Davis. As of today, we are leaning more towards Davis! Tomorrow might be Jackson:)
