It's a Boy!!!! Oh wait we already knew that.

Considering there is about to be a real baby, real soon, I figured I'd better get around to posting the pictures of our last look at baby Roman. These are the pictures from the 20 week ultrasound, when we found out it was a boy.

Counting Down

We moved and are now settled into our little condo. I am loving it because I know life is about to be crazy and it is nice to live somewhere that you can clean in ten minutes. However, moving, selling my house, preparing for baby, etc. have all kept me from blogging.
The thing I am most excited about is hiring our doula, Kim Tabler. I am so, so excited to have a doula period, but Kim is awesome and I am so happy she will be with us to support us through the birth. She was recommended to me by our birthing class teacher, Nicole. Birthing class is also going great. I think Warren and I have this natural childbirth on lockdown :) Our doctor said last week that Roman is 6 1/2 lbs. by her estimate. He is head down and ready to go. I am so physically miserable right now and just counting down days. I can't sleep, my back hurts, I am exhausted, and I am sick of not being able to bend over to pick something up!!! And, though I must say I am keeping my sense of humor about this, I am sick right now and I can't cough without peeing a little. Other than my physical ailments, things are going great. Warren and I are loving the little, easy to manage condo, the baby clothes and cloth diapers are washed, car seat is in, and the hospital bag is mostly packed. My extensive to-do lists are almost complete!
About two weeks ago I had an awesome day when I had two showers on the same day. My kids in my class threw me a surprise shower. It was ADORABLE!!! Some moms brought in cookie cake (because of my chocolate chip cookie love) and punch. The kids all played games and I got a ton of cute gifts! It was so touching that all the parents were so supportive. I have a bunch of pictures, but unfortunately I can't share because I can't go posting my babies' faces on the internet :) That afternoon was also my work shower which was a shared shower with my former teammate Sarah. Sarah and I were 2 1/2 weeks apart, however she now has a two week old son!!!!! Just a reminder that Roman really could come any second!
Last weekend I had my final shower. It was for family and family friends, though I of course drug Christie along. My mom's bff, Beth, was the hostess with the mostess. I finished up all my thank yous today (finally)!
After go go going non-stop it was nice to just take it easy this weekend. I internet window shopped for new post-preggo clothes, napped, and got more baby stuff ready. I can't wait to photograph Roman with all his cute new stuff :) Next weekend's agenda: a busy schedule of a Saturday facial and massage and a whole bunch of nothing.
Happy Valentine's Day!
