So yeah, it's the last day of September I managed to skip an entire month of blogging. Oops. Rather than list all the reasons that kept me away, I'll just jump into the update:
Things are great! I'm feeling really good and at most times don't feel pregnant - that is till I catch myself in a mirror or feel the little dear (ps that's our nickname for him right now, that and fat kid) try to make an escape for it out the side of my right ribs. Neato! Honestly, it really cracks me up - he's done it way more than once and it's always the right side. He's convinced that's the exit and he kind of just propels himself up right towards under my ribs and tries to keep moving forward. The first time it happened I pushed back and am pretty sure I felt his little head, SO crazy! So let's all start praying the kid learns a sense of direction and come four months from now realizes ribs do not equal exit:)
We had our big ultrasound (anatomy scan) last week and he was still very much a he - so no doubts there:) And he is as healthy as can be - praise God! We have to have another one because the stinker was sleeping and wouldn't move to get some of the final heart measurements they need, but the sonographer said everything she could see looked perfect, but they'll have to have us in regardless to make sure they can complete "their checklist." So keep praying that the next time we go in all will continue to be well! As for how he's doing - apparently he's already showing that he's bigger than average and at the time he was already over ten inches and a little over a pound - that's our fat kid:) He also gave us a thumbs up which was pretty funny:) See below:
We had held off on any MAJOR nursery plans till we got the second ultrasound to confirm that he is still a boy:) So now plans are in full swing - and oh boy, are we having fun! I can't wait to show you guys the final product but right now here's a bit of inspiration of where we're headed:
And yes, I discovered Piknik. Between Piknik and Pinterest planning will have never been so much fun!
More pictures to come, including belly shots that aren't taken with my phone:)

So fun! The exit through the ribs part is hysterical! So fun when they poke you and you poke them back... madness!! I LOVED that part of being pregnant! The room plans look cute - can't wait to see how it turns out!!
Oooh! I can't wait to see more about the fat kid's room ;). So happy for you guys. Thanks for the update!!!
That is too funny about your ribs. Bennett was the same way on the same side and always the right side too! Glad everything is going well-We love you guys and miss you!!!
Hahaha the ribs! So cute! Ugh I am aching to meet him! And if course the room looks so cute already....I LOVE it! Post some pics of you! You are so cute!
Another hysterical post... The nursery theme is wonderful and very much reminds me of Disney's "Up". :) I can't say how happy I am for you and Ty.
Lots o' love,
Alisha
Ha! I love that you are calling him Little Dear! :) Charley used to stretch her feet out on my right side ALL THE TIME. Enjoy every second because, believe it or not, you will miss that feeling.
I owe you a phone call soon to catch up! :)
