I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and bought 6″ wooden letters to spell Sean’s name, and painted them colors to match his bedding. They eventually will be hung on one of the walls, as soon as we get a better idea of where everything is going in the room. Click the picture below:

Many people have warned me…”eventually you won’t like having those weekly pictures of yourself on the internet.” Well, I think I hit that point this week. I hit a weight this week that’s a little hard for me to handle. I know that it’s a good thing that I’m gaining…it’s just that ever existant struggle with girls and weight that’s hard to overcome. I do realize though, that lots of friends and family members that don’t see me all the time enjoy looking at the pictures, and so I’ll keep them going just for them. 🙂 Consider yourself lucky! Click here to see this week’s picture (24 weeks). Only 16 left to go! 🙂

Last night I finally sold the Durango. While I did enjoy the truck – drives smoothly, it was quiet, etc…I hated going to the gas pump. The Durango had a 25 gallon tank and got between 13 and 17 miles per gallon. Every two weeks or so, it cost $65 to $75 just to fill up it! That hurt 🙂
I had the truck listed on Craigslist for quite a while and had a couple of lowball offers on it. Last night Matt at City Auto Sales in Elsmere, KY bought it from me. Now its time to start shopping around again. Hopefully going to get into something like a VW Jetta VR6!

We received the crib from Laura today (thanks Laura!!) and we put it all together. We put the bedding on it just to see what it would look like. We need to wash it still, but we couldn’t resist a sneak peak! We are so in love with the bedding that Paul’s parents got for us (Lary & Narni) and we can’t wait to see a little boy all snuggled up in it!
Megabyte was extremely interested in the crib, so we let her try it out. She pranced all around in the crib (we think she just wanted to be near Little Sean’s bear). Once we figure out for sure which way the room will be set up, we can hang the wall hangings and our little shelf 🙂
The crib and changing table used to be my little brother Philip’s, 16 years ago. My mom saved them; Laura used them for her son Mitchell, and now Little Sean gets to use them! How cool is that? They are a beautiful set and we’re really blessed to have them!

Every week my belly is “popping out” more and more. I finally think that I’m to the “cute pregnant” stage. Yay! I no longer look like I’ve eaten 3 buffet dinners!
Check out a picture from this morning, in regular clothes:
And the “official” 23-week picture below:

My mom came over this morning and we painted Little Sean’s nursery. Turns out that the best color that we could pick was the same one that we painted the upstairs bathroom and laundry room. It was a beautiful and breezy day, so we were able to shut the door to the room and open the windows all the way, and weren’t bothered at all by paint smells. 🙂
The room turned out great. We did two coats and scraped by with just enough paint. Click on the picture below to see how our day went!

We cleared out Little Sean’s room today. Click here to see pictures of the progress. We also got our bedding set yesterday (thanks Lary & Narni!), which helped us in finalizing our paint color. We’ll probably paint within the next 2 weeks or so. I took a picture of Little Sean’s very first ‘boy’ outfit. Paul picked it out the day we found out we were having a boy:
It’s getting really exciting to see the room starting to empty out and turn into a baby room.
