24 Weeks (+1 day)

Okay, here I am at 24 weeks and one day, so I didn't manage to squeeze in a post during my 23rd week. There wasn't much to report as far as baby goes anyway. I did, however, get my biggest kick to date a few days ago and Adrian was pretty excited to feel it too. He said he thought about it all day - he's going to be a great daddy to our little boy.

We spent a couple days, along with my brother and my friend Jessica, in Cleveland, mostly to tour around and go to some great restaurants. In two short days we managed to squeeze in Tommy's, Lola, Sokolowski's, and Bac. We also spent a few hours at the zoo and stopped by the West Side Market. We had a really great time and spent the nights camping out in a huge tent in Adrian's parents' backyard. Everyone was so worried about my comfort sleeping in a tent, but ironically, they were the best two nights of sleep I've had in weeks! Apparently I need to set up an air mattress in the yard and I'll be all set.

I still have no progress to report on any home redecorating, mostly because we've been busy and it has still been a little too warm for that much work. Later today I'm going to Home Depot with my mom to purchase paint and supplies, so hopefully that will get the ball rolling. I have a lot I want to accomplish before I get too far along in this pregnancy. We're painting the kitchen top to bottom (including cabinets), painting and decorating the nursery completely, hopefully installing a new sink and maybe painting in the bathroom... and I'd love to squeeze in painting the master bedroom, too, but we'll see if I have the time and energy to get it all done. Our bedroom is not bad as it is, so it's at the bottom of the list.

Oh and remember how I was going to post pictures of the nursery furniture when it was all assembled? You'll just have to keep waiting on that because the crib is still sitting in a box in our hallway. Here I thought I would be so eager to get the nursery set up and I can't even get things out of boxes! Right now the nursery serves as a room I visit to look at all the cute little baby clothes we've accumulated so far. He'll be the best dressed baby on the block!

Well, that's about all I've got at the moment, and no fruit update... so how about I leave you with a couple pictures of the most handsome little boy I've ever seen? These are shots from our second anatomy scan at 22 weeks.

Shy like his mama.

A little more of a glimpse of that darling face.

I'll be scheduling a 3D ultrasound somewhere between 28 and 30 weeks, so there will be more pictures down the road when he's fattened up a little. My mom says he looks like Adrian, haha.
