One month closer...

I can't believe that it has been a month since we found out that we were going to be parents. "J" is now 24 weeks along. I went to her doctor's appointment this week. Not only did I get to hear the heartbeat but I also got to see the baby on the ultra sound machine! It just so happened that they didn't have a different room for us to be in so they used the ultra sound room. When he found the heart beat, he used the ultra sound machine. I got to see "Spike"!! How awesome!! (And no, Spike is not the name. It is just what we are calling him before we meet him.)

We are slowly starting to get Spike's room ready. Earlier this year, we painted the room so that we would be ready when we needed it. I made some room in my closet so that Joel could put his clothes back in there with mine. (Up until now, he used the spare room closet.) We put in closet organizers and put in all of the items/clothes that we already have. Between things that I bought, my mom bought and hand-me-downs, I think that the kid will be good on clothes for quite a while!! We also purchased the dresser for the room. I was lucky to find great deals in Art Van's clearance center. My parents bought the crib for us, but it is currently sitting at their house. We plan to bring it over as we get closer to June.

Next up....parenting class and baby CPR class!! Yippee!!!
