Sneak Peek - Babymoon

We are headed to Big Bear to have one last hurrah as a married couple without kids. I am really looking forward to being in creation. I hear the stars are bright and you can even see the milky way. Us L.A. folks are not used to how cold it gets in the mountains. But it will be a nice change. We are staying in a little motel in which all the rooms are themed. We are in the "Squirrel Room!" Honestly this place reminds me of a cross between "The Great Outdoors" and the hotel room from "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles." I can't wait for our adventure to begin. Just 8 short weeks until baby!

I really like www.etsy.com I have found some super cute ideas for the baby nook. I wanted to share some of the pics with you.

"Do you have a name for the baby yet?"

This is my first entry into the family blog. So recently now everyone asks us "Do you have a name for the baby yet"? Well...it is getting old. Here are some responses I am going to try out now.

Do you have a name for the baby yet?

1) No, we don't believe in names. We don't want to put our child in a box.

2) What baby?

3) No, we heard that you can't take a baby from the hospital until you have a name. We're hoping to live at the hospital for the first year. Hey, free rent right?

4) We have a Chip In page where you can donate money. We're holding the name ransom until we $100,000.

5) Yes, but you might steal it...you've seen Seinfield right? (7).

O.K. so here's the real answer....no we don't have a name yet and no we're not telling anyone when we do until the baby comes....unless you give us the 100K.

Baby Bump (Week 25-29)

25 weeks 26 weeks

28 weeks 29 weeks

3 months left

Can you believe it??!! We only have 3 more months until our little biscuit arrives.

As for me, things are going well. I am trying to keep up my walks at least 5 times a week. My dessert cravings have died down a little, at least I hope. My feet are a little puffy at night and my fingers swell during my morning walk. But nothing that is not normal. I have kept up eating as much spicy food as I want and it does not seem to effect our little guy. I received the results from the glucose test which were normal as well as the blood count. I have been a bit concerned about my gums and teeth since I have super sensitive gums that bleed easily. But all is well, I had a cleaning this week and everything checked out okay.

The baby kicks quite a bit but seems to be rocked to sleep when I am out and about or on a walk. He is about 2.5 pounds now and probably about 16 inches long head to toe. The prego books say he should start blinking this week. Also, hiccups should come soon which may have already happened and I just didn't catch them. For you veggie lovers out there he is the size of a small cabbage. Interesting fact: Did you know that Brent saw a baby cabbage patch kid being born when he was a kid? :)

We start our Prepared Childbirth Classes soon. Brent and I are also in the process of figuring out all the baby items that we need. Which things we can borrow, buy used and what we want new. We are thankful for all of you and can't wait for you to meet our sweetie pie.
