5 months already!

It's been 5 months already and baby is starting to show!
5 months down and have the rest of the summer to go!



People keep telling me it will go by quickly, and quickly I want it to go! However, I don't want to give up summer that fast, so I think I'd rather keep the little guy in and not wish away my last summer before baby... I have been mentally compiling a list of all the things we need to do and all the things left to buy before our little one arrives.

We received our crib the other day but unfortunately will have to wait until our kitchen remodeling is done before we tackle decorating the baby's room. One by one things will come together we know, but it seems as if there is so much to think about! Definitely way more than when we just randomly decided to buy this cute puppy and bring him home with no food, bed, or collar. No, I am not comparing my baby to a dog; I'm contrasting how completely new and different this is and how I want to be prepared when the baby comes. We have the food (hopefully me), we have the bed, (crib to be assembled), and no collar needed. Now I'm sure there are TONS more items that we will need to get and if anyone feels like offering advice and said items, feel free! Julie has already offered to attend my registering session, but I have a feeling I will need to buy plenty of items myself before any such gifts would be blessed our way...

Well, now I'm just babbling! 5 months - everything's going great. Baby is moving lots and lots. Still not many pregnancy symptoms except my sister warned me of the awful night time Charlie Horses and I have experienced a few already. How can you be sleeping one minute and the next wake up with an excruciating pain that is so bad you can't hardly speak to wake your husband up?! Julie says the cure is to eat a banana a day.
It is going to be a long summer...

Another picture for good measure so you see the baby better!
