It's been way too long....

My-oh-my! It's been way to long since I have updated this and I do apologize. To everyone else...and to me for not getting all my feelings and excitement out to share with everyone! There are days that I am still just get so tired at the end of the day. The growing bump is starting to get heavy! :)  And...realizing now I haven't even written about learning that it's a boy!! I have already spoken to most everyone and they know the story about the doctor's office and how we found out. It was so much fun! And I just can't wait to see Mike with his son. His face was full of so much excitement at the doctor's office the moment we found out- I just can't wait to see it again and again as we go through each moment with little Baby D. So...since many folks already know the finding out the sex story- I don't want to put you to sleep with another long story about that.... Let's get into another fun update-- shopping for Baby D!!!!!

With all the books and friends that have babies already- it is super overwhelming to start searching for what you need versus what you absolutely need versus what is nice to have and then what's a complete waste. There are so many lists and sites that will direct you in so many different directions that putting off shopping all together would be easy....but it's just to much fun to not start looking!

So after a long hunt on the major furniture- we finally (or should I say I finally) found one that we love, love, LOVE!!! It was kinda a last minute thing. I had found one online and in the store that I really liked only to learn a few days later that it was discontinued. On another fun filled day of house hunting- we happened to be near another Babies R Us that had the furniture out on display. I decided to just ask to see if they thought they would have any more available in the near future. I was thrilled to learn moments later that there was both a dresser and crib available. While I found Mike testing out the rocking chairs nearby- it only took about 2 seconds to decide and convince him that we just had to have it! We ended up buying it right away! Mike was able to pick up all the furniture over this past weekend-- which was an adventure in itself...  I will just say that I was happy to come home to see it all inside. It will be a while before we start setting everything up though. We have to figure out where we are going to live!!! It is still kinda up in the air on whether or not we will still be here in the condo or if we will be able to move to a bigger house in north county. Super exciting to think of all the changes coming up! Plan to have more updates soon! And.... will be sure to post pics and updats of our upcoming trip to D.C.  I am super excited for a much needed vacation with the hubs!!!
