Who Needs a Sugar Baby When You Can Have a Pumpkin Baby?

Justin thought it would be a good idea to make a baby pumkin for Halloween since we don't have our little one to dress up yet.

Tommy has been very protective of the baby, both the pumpkin one and the one in my belly. He is always following me around and making sure everything is ok. He even tries to sleep on my belly at night (until I get too hot and roll him off of me).

Finally after 8 weeks and a bunch of phone calls our crib mattress made it here. It fit perfectly in the crib. Justin thought it would be a good idea to make sure the "baby" would be comfortable...so here it is. :)

Belly Shots-Not Body Shots

So we took the first belly pictures on Sunday. I was hoping to get them at a nice even 16 weeks, but due to time and laundry constraints, they had to be put off for a week. So here it is, debuting at 17 weeks, 1 day, in the yellow baby room, none-the-less.

I never thought I'd be one to count the days of the pregnancy, and really I'm not, but I thought I'd do it for the more detail-oriented friends who may be curious. Really, I could never figure out how all my previously pregnant friends kept track of their pregnancies by the week. I soon figured that one out. So much change happens every week, than I can't help but remember where I'm at and what is developing now. (By the way, the website that keeps me updated has now upgraded the baby from an avacado to an onion.)

About the room...it just so happened to be under construction when we found out we were expecting. Lucky us! So we went with the nice, neutral yellow (hopefully which will go with anything). The carpet is due to be installed after the 4th of July. I am truely excited for that because it means that not only will we be ready to put in furniture and clothes in the closet, but also everything that is said in the hallway will quit echoing throughout the house.
