She's getting into shape, Round is the shape!!!

Hello all. I am finally getting back to the blog. We have been very busy both with work and with the pregnancy. Over president's day weekend we got to do some shopping and buy a few necessities for the nursery. We registered at Target and Babies R Us, but be warned if you do not want to know the sex of the baby don't go on the registries.

We are about 26 and a half weeks along, and the pics below are from 25 weeks. Kelly has been a real trooper through the pregnancy. No real problems, just tired, and the baby likes to poke her ribs a lot. The baby is now making big enough thumps inside that I can feel it. When I put my face against her belly the baby likes to thump me, I don't think the baby likes my whiskers. I continue to sing Johnny Cash songs to the baby so there will be an appreciation for good music once the baby is here. The other night I was watching Star Wars and when Kelly came in to watch the baby started reacting. I think it is because the baby appreciates Star Wars, Kelly thinks the baby wanted me to change the channel. We'll see. Check out the pictures below and let us know what you think.

Here is a picture of the Yukon after the President's day shopping. Some things had already been removed before we took a picture. We got a crib and Dresser in Salem, then had to take some things out of their packaging so Kelly, my mom Cathy, and I were all able to fit inside. The girls rode up front and I was able to squeeze in behind the passenger seat on the floor with sacks on my lap. What fun that was to ride back there to my mom's house.

Here is the crib prior to assembly. You can see the little tool they provided for Kelly and I to put this thing together. Fortunately I have saved every little allen wrench I have ever got and was able to find a better one so we could both work on it.

Yes, I am reading the directions before assembly. They weren't much help.

Here is the finished product. We did good, I think it only took about 30 minutes and we only had a few left over parts. I'd call that a success. We have a few more things done with the nursery now and will post more pics soon. We have a dresser, crib bedding, and a few decorations. It is starting to look good.

Now for the pictures of Kelly!!!

Here she is at 25 weeks. She has still been wearing her own pants, though she has added a belly band to some of them. She has been starting to wear the maternity pants which she seems to be more comfortable in some days.

She is definately showing now. I can only imagine how much further we have to go. Her belly button is hanging on, but disappering fast. So far she can still roll over on her own and get up. Picking things up, she dropped, has become my area of expertise, and I do a good job.

Thanks for checking in on us, hope you enjoy these pics.
