Week Accomplishments.

We have had some big developments :)

• Some of the art for baby's room has been finished. Hope to finish most of it this weekend which means pictures can be taken and shown off soon.
• I got my new hello kitty phone case for my iphone. Its spectacular and could not represent me anymore. Let's just say... zebra stripes, hello kitty, and sparkles :) I LOVE IT!

• I think we have Mini Bee's first picture outfit and coming home outfits purchased!

• Belly Shots for week 29 have been taken. Now they just have to be put into the picture page format to be shared. :) 
• Mini Bee has been making tremendous growth this week it feels like. My belly has actually been aching a little on top of my belly where the new growth is taking place inside. PLUS, I have been feeling actual body parts inside of my tummy pushing. Absolutely a crazy feeling. I told Mitch to feel how its hard in certain places which is where baby is. Then we pushed on it and we got a reaction. So amazing and it is making him seem more and more real!

However with feeling the baby parts and trying to identify what is pushing I now feel like I am playing this preschool game....

You are given the card to show you an idea of a shape and then you blindly feel around in the bag until you find something that resembles/feels like that shape.

Good thing I love games :)

BIG NEWS!!

Whew! Not sure this momma can handle anymore excitement after the past week we have had! Wednesday we had our ultrasound, which was the first time we really had a chance to see pictures of our baby. Soo exciting and AMAZING! We saw cute little feet and hands and of course Mini Bee was very active. I could feel Mini Bee kicking the whole time and we even have videos of baby moving around. I could have watched the whole day. Lucky for us, we did get to watch for 45 minutes! The best news ever was that our baby checked out very healthy! :)

Here is a picture of our ultrasound:

So cute right? Apparently very flexible too! Baby's arms were going crazy the whole time, moving all around...

We shared with the ultrasound tech that we did want to find out the gender but were going to celebrate together over the gender by having a baker color the inside of a cake whatever gender the card said. So she didn't tell us or show us any ultrasound pictures that would disclose the gender. Instead she secretly wrote the gender inside of our cards and sealed them. After the ultrasound we left with those cards that said the gender inside and a cd with pictures/videos of our precious baby. I could have busted with the excitement. Suddenly I felt so close to this baby inside of me when I could see the miracle that had grown inside.

FAST FORWARD............

Next night we go pick up our cake that was designed so cute. We had a hard time finding a baker that would bake a fresh cake for the next day but we lucked out with Quality Bakery. They offered to come in special and whip up this cake that told us such an important part of our future. I couldn't even hold myself together while we were picking up this cake. I realized how significant this little bundle of cake was!

The cake...

Mitch and I ate our supper super fast!! Then we shut our eyes and cut out a sliver together to open our eyes and find.....

BRIGHT BLUE CAKE!!!! 

So emotional to find out what we could expect in a few months!

Finding out what we were having suddenly I felt so close to what I am caring for and also I was able to weed out a few names. It was weird, but some of the names we had picked out suddenly didn't seem to fit the baby I am carrying. I love laying in bed and feeling our baby kicking and knowing that my baby boy is getting stronger!!!

This post is jam-packed with lots of information but seriously, it has been a crazy busy and amazing week!!    BELLY SHOT UPDATE :)

Hope this post makes you just as excited as we are!! :)
