Checking in...

Happy 29 weeks! (Technically 29 weeks, 2 days) Only 75 days til our due date of February 20th---eek!!!!!

I had my monthly OB visit last Wednesday--up a total of 18 lbs (still on the lower end of average weight gain) and Baby Boy's heartbeat was nice and strong.  I had to do my Gestational Diabetes test that day, which is never fun---the combo of drinking what essentially amounts to super-sugary flat orange soda plus having three large vials of blood drawn is pretty awful.  Haven't heard any results yet, but from what I remember with Emma's pregnancy they only call you if there's a problem.  So no news is good news, I guess!  Next appointment is Wednesday, Dec. 12th--the start of appointments every two weeks.  Coming down the home stretch!

A little belly comparison for you---much more round with Baby Boy.

Brian and I have painted the baby's room and moved Emma's old baby furniture in there.  We painted the inside of the closet a nice bright blue (we painted Emma's pink before she arrived), to give the room a little color without it being overbearing.  Two walls are a rich chocolate brown and the other two walls are the beigey/gray you see around the closet.  The birch tree decals have been ordered and are currently en route.  I'll post a pic below of what they'll look like.  They'll go behind his crib along one of the chocolate brown walls.  Brian and I are planning on doing some wall art using slices of tree branches, and that will likely go above his changing table.  That part will wait until after the holidays, though--too much going on right now and we'll be traveling soon.

We're 99% sure that our little man's first name will be Hudson.  Have to leave a little wiggle room in case of last minute changes, right? ;)  No middle name yet.  We're debating between a bunch of them that we like.  We'll figure it out eventually!

Here are a few cute pics to wrap things up...

The belly can officially be used as a coffee table:

Have a great night!
