Our Baby Peanut is a BOY!

Well, by now most of you have heard the good news that we're having a baby boy!  Both Kent and I are over the moon with the new reality of a tiny baby boy kicking around in there.  We are having so much fun  finding cute things for our boy to wear and for his nursery!  I am finally feeling little kicks on a regular basis, especially after I eat.  He also loves to tumble around in there at night right before bed.  It's so small it doesn't bother me but I'm sure the kicks will get bigger and more uncomfortable as he grows!  We were so happy to get our genetic testing back with all negatives for downs and spina bifida and that the ultrasound went well.   He looks very healthy in there and there's no doubt he has all his boy parts in tact -- you'll see the "money shot" below!

So now we're focused on names and the nursery and finishing up the registry.  We're pretty close to a name and I expect by our next post we'll be ready to share it with the world!  The nursery is coming along with bits and pieces here and there.  Kent painted the big wall this week and we picked up an ottoman at HomeGoods (one of my absolute favorite stores).  We're still looking for the perfect glider chair which we imagine will be a part of a bedtime ritual for a very long time.  At some point we'll make another trip to Charleston to finish up the registry so there are some blue things on it!  We are registered at BabiesRUs if you're interested in checking out what's on there.

Baby showers are in the works for Texas over Memorial Day Weekend as well as Pawleys in June!  I love to plan them but don't love being the center of attention.  Hopefully it will be easier when most will be looking at my swelling baby belly!

So on to the pictures!  I've also added a link to the bedding we ordered...I'm really hoping it's closer to aqua or robin's egg blue than to traditional baby blue so keep your fingers crossed.  It's due to ship from the manufacturer on April 11th.

Peanut Havel's tiny profile :o) He's pretty stinkin' cute already!

There's a boy in there! Think of this pic like he's sitting on a clear chair and your looking up from the floor...

Painted wall in Grace Harbor (light aqua) -- it's like the sky and so pretty!

Mama sitting on the new ottoman... this is all Kent's doing
...at some point we'll get a picture with the 2 of us in it!

Official 20 week shot after a good pilates workout.  Note the new bedroom curtains I made!

Speaking of curtains, I promised to post pics of the living room curtains as well....

I think they really finish the room!

I just took curtains I had already and added a valance to the top to make them longer to fit these windows.
I think the impact is stunning!

And finally, the cribset!  To see a bigger picture, click on the link below...
