THE TREE IS UP!!!!

Mom and Dad came over tonight to help with the tree. Mom and I locked ourselves in BL's room and went to town! It was pretty easy considering it came in a million pieces. I'm in love with it! We have some extra leaves so we're thinking about maybe purchasing some extra branches and adding them to the tops of the windows once the curtains are up. It's just too cute....We're a happy mama and daddy.

Getting stuff done

Greg taping off BL's learning chalk board area! What a good husband. Greg was such a happy Daddy yesterday because when he started to talk to BL, BL gave Daddy A LOT of kicks and punches. Greg got to feel and see his little baby move for the first time. He was SO happy! I was also happy he could feel and see what has been going on inside for a bunch of weeks now. Keep it up BL! Daddy has already got a nice plan to put those muscles to use....surfing, running, soccer, skiing, you name it!
Greg is first going to put on magnetic paint. Then once it dries he's going to top it with chalkboard paint. Under the window will go their bookshelf and a nice table with chairs from Uncle Ralph. This corner will be BL's mini learning corner. I guess that's what you get when your parents are both teachers.

Our tree has finally arrived!!! I wanted to put it up immediately but I'm going to wait for my mama to come over one night this week and help me so I don't ruin it. It's TOO cute. It's a chocolate brown trunk with white polka dots. The leaves are a mixture between green and yellow/green and then there are pink and yellow birds. We'll post a picture once it's up.

25 Weeks and growing! I'm looking for some bigger pants over this Christmas break. Yikes! When we went to our baby appointment last Wednesday BL was doing well. We measured 25 cm, heartbeat was strong and all seemed well. In January we go back for our glucose test and another measurement. Keep growing BL.

Front view of the belly. Still have my innie belly button. I wonder if it'll pop out.

BL & Mama's 1st 5K

Early on this rainy Saturday morning, BL and I went for our first annual Ho Ho Ho 5K run in downtown Wilmington. We did a great job! BL didn't like the first 1/4 mile, but once he/she got into position, we cruised through the street. Afterwards BL gave some nice kicks to stretch his/her legs after all that work!. Next year we'll be back but BL will actually SEE the sights!
We're headed to the doc on Wednesday for our next check up. Will post again then.
