17 Weeks

He weighs 5 ounces this week -- about as much as a turnip.

He is 5 inches tall, from head to bottom!

Best Husband in the World!!

I came home the other day and Serg surprised me with these beautiful flowers!

It was so nice and thoughtful! I love him soo much!

My Garden

Last weekend I started a bunch of vegetable and flower seeds in starter pots. I planted sweet corn, peppers, cucumbers, squash, lupine, blue bonnets, sweet peas and wildflowers. I can't wait to plant them outside and start getting fresh vegetables! YUM!

First Purchases for Our Boy

Cutest shoes ever!

Proud Daddy!

His Room (my cousin gave us the rug, which looks great!)

As if its any surprise, the "theme" of the baby room will be baseball. I'll let you decide who picked that :). We went out this weekend and made our first purchases for him. I really hope this kid likes baseball or Daddy might have a heart attack! :) This weekend we also cleaned out our spare room that will be the baby room. It's just starting to hit me that we're having a baby. It seems like it's happening to someone else, but I'm sure once he's here we won't be able to imagine a time without him. Seeing a room in our home, starting to look like a kid room both terrifies me and excites me! It's such a blessing from God and we're both so excited that it's our turn :)!

It's a....

BOY!!

We were joking at what a fatty he was because he was sucking his fist almost the entire ultrasound!

Although I was hoping for a girl I am just as happy that he's a boy. Serg is through the roof and already planning all the "guy stuff" they'll do together! Now the hard part of coming up with a name. Figures he would be a boy since we had a girl name all picked out! :)
