The Baby bedding just arrived....I am pretty sure I was more excited than a 5 year old on Christmas morning! YAY!

Next on my wishlist...

Happy Mother's Day to all Mommies!

Baby Pool

I know it is early...but since we are waiting to find out the gender, I thought a pool would be so fun! I have registered a pool at BeBePool.com.

Here is our website: http://bebepool.com/phillipsbaby

Like I said, I know it is early...But if you want to place a guess.....GUESS AWAY! Our expected due date is November 14th.

I will bring up the site again though as November gets closer and closer...and as we all start guessing, I am also going to make a real calendar with all the guesses and the lucky guesser will get something fun in the end :)

Let the Decorating Begin

I found bedding that can work for both genders...which is rare. The bedding is from Pottery Barn and is very, very simple.....which is very me! I am definitely into a timeless look and not really all about themes. I got it in the light green, which can be accented with light pink, light blue, or brown....come November. The crib collection we have has a dark brown finish, so I think it will work nicely together.

We have a Beat!

Today, I had my 12 week appointment with Dr. Pohl. We got to listen to the heartbeat for the first time and I was so excited. The heartbeat was high 150s, low 160s. I had no weight gain, which is very hard for me to believe, and my blood pressure had dropped a little bit, which they said is common when moving into the 2nd trimester. Overall, the appointment went really well and our baby is growing!

Here is a belly pic at 6 weeks

And at 13 weeks...not too much of a change...but it will be fun to compare in the weeks to come.

And the Draino Test says:

It's a Boy

I did the draino test this morning for fun....Boy was it stinky! The info on the Internet said that you are supposed to wait until after 4 months....so I will do it again then....there is plenty of draino to use :)

The test was fun though....but my gut says we are having a girl.....We will see in November!

Bienvenido a Casa, Kaitlin!

Kaitlin is HOME! We went to the airport yesterday afternoon to pick her up! It was so fun hearing how excited she was to see trees again and how weird it was to be in the car after 4 months not driving or riding. Before even getting home, we made a stop at Chick-fil-a and Kaitlin scarfed down a sandwich!

We met friends and family at Frontera for Kaitlin's 1st meal and her 1st legal drink in America. Kaitlin turned 21 in January while in Spain. So we had a mini Birthday celebration at the restaurant. It is so nice having her home! She brought back fun thing from her travels for everyone. She brought me a pair of glass blown earrings from Venice...and they are green! I love them!

We are so glad you made it home safely and we missed you so much!
