We haven't made too much progress in the babies room but he does have a crib now. I wanted something simple, kind of modern, and really durable. When we found this one I knew it was the one. I absolutely love it! Here is a picture of the Duke helping Andy put it together, and me, Kobe, and Lela napping while he worked, haha:
Everyone has been asking me what color/theme the babies room is going to be decorated in. Its going to be done in kind of bright colors. Part of the wall decorations are going to be some bright colored photos of animals from the zoo that my dad took. Andy and I made the big wall decoration and it is the main theme for the room. So here is a picture that describes the room the best...
The elephant on the wall isn't quite finished yet, we have a few more finishing touches to add. We made it together. Andy cut the wood and we painted all of those circles together. Didn't it turn out cute?! I've ordered fabric to make the bedding because I couldn't find any that I like. In other baby news he has a first name...Hudson! We're still working on the middle name. We're now half way there...21 weeks! I started feeling the baby kick about 17 weeks, but he has definitely become more active in the past few weeks. I feel him all the time now and just this week Andy was able to feel him kick too! Its such a weird and awesome feeling! Heres a recent pic of the growing belly:
Other than that we have registered at Target, Babies-R-Us, and Wal-mart. The majority of the stuff is at Target, they seemed to have the most things we liked for the best value. Andy was excited to get to use the scanning gun (I had to keep my eye on him, he gets kind of scan happy!). We had a fun time testing strollers and picking out all of Hudsons supplies! Man, babies sure do require a lot of stuff! Heres a picture of Andy while we were testing strollers in Babies-R-Us:
Other than that we're just working around the house, trying to finish our "renovating" before Andy heads to school on Sept. 8th. We've enjoyed lots of visitors lately: Andy's parents, Martha & Steven, and my dad and Cathy this weekend. We attempted to go see the broadway play Chicago (which I have been dying to see for years!) when dad and Cathy were here this weekend. The play was showing at this awesome outdoor theatre in Kansas City. Too bad it stormed the whole time. We stayed under the awning and watched part of the play but gave up and left at intermission. But, we had a great visit anyway!
