20 Weeks! We are having a Little Man!

20 weeks!

I am currently at 20 weeks and we are SUPER excited to announce we are having a precious little man!!  We are so excited.  The little man is really starting to kick around in my tummy.  It feels like little puffs of air hitting my stomach from inside.  He kicks me like 5 times in a minute and then goes back to bed.  It's adorable. Brian hasn't felt it yet.  Every time I try to show him, the little man goes back to sleep or stops moving.  Maybe it's a little game he's playing.  I feel great...no sickness, no pain...I feel like I'm not even pregnant...well, I feel like I have a big moving baby growing in my stomach.

Note to my little man: I am so in love with you little guy!  I can't tell you now, but one day you can read this and know just how much you are loved by your parents even before you are born!  This was the first ultrasound we had and we got to see you are a real person growing in my stomach.  I didn't really believe it until I saw this.  We can't wait to meet you.

I'm planning your nursery, which is right now between a monkey or a sailor theme.  And I'm picking out your decorations and getting all the hippest baby tools so I can take great care of you.

You are going to be totally loved!  If you can be over loved, you might suffer from that.  I just want you to grow up knowing that you can be ANYTHING you want to be in this world!  You truly can have anything you want if you have a happy attitude and you work hard at everything you do and never, ever give up.

Here's your nursery right now. Haha...I know, don't worry, I'm working on it.  I registered for most of your items and picked out the coolest stuff for you!  I have a meeting to pick out fabrics for your curtains tomorrow, shelves are being built for your closet and I'm going to go look at crib sets for you this week.  Not sure if I'll do white or espresso for your crib.  Tough decision...wish you could tell me what you'd like :)  I'm sure there will be plenty of that in years to come though.  Oh and your name, that's a whole other issue I'd like to discuss with you.  We are not sure just yet on your name.

Everyday you and I go for a one hour bike ride and you love it.  I think you like dance around in my stomach when I'm biking like this picture shows. You were really kicking around and moving your mouth and hands during the ultrasound.  Your going to be really athletic, I'm guessing. And I think you like healthy foods.  You've been craving watermelon, apples, oranges, peaches, strawberries and salad.  And for protein you really like steak, chicken and eggs. You don't really crave pickles, potatoes or the Pirates Booty that you really loved in the first 3 months.  So you are eating more normally now.  I just want you to be healthy and happy!  I love you little guy! And your grandparents are all thrilled to meet you!  Love, Mommy and Daddy
