26 Week Update

Well I have finally been able to talk Christina into updating her pictures on the blog. (Thanks Jami) These are Christina at 26 weeks. We only have 98 days to go. Well here they are!!!!

Kicking Kid

I finally have felt the kid kick. Christina has felt him for the past month or two but every time that I would put my hand on her belly the little stinker would just stop moving all together. Finally, tonight i got to feel him. Christina had just taken a shower and had waddled her way down stairs. She put my hand on her stomach and I figured that it would be the same old thing he would just stop moving. Not this time I was finally able to feel him.

With respect to the picture of the pregnant one, I am still working on it. She said that we will put one up tomorrow but we will see.

Heart Update

We went to the baby doctor about two weeks ago. Everything is going well with the pregnancy medically speaking. The heart issue is due to being pregnant and everything is progressing as normal. Christina is starting to get to the uncomfortable stage. She is really having a difficult time sleeping. She also is having some killer heart burn. She is trying really hard not to complain and pull some weight around the house but I'm picking up some slack. I don't really mind since life for her right now kinda sucks!! I will try and get her to post a picture soon, I know that everyone wants to see her but she doesn't like having her picture taken right now.

Nursery in the Works

So I have been off since Tuesday and Christina and I thought that this would be an opportune time get the nursery going. We went to the hardware store and picked out pant. We thought all was well until.....
Things were fine after the Khaki went on the wall. Christina came home and loved it. Then I painted the blue. It did not go over as well....


At this point I thought I was done painting. But, I was wrong. This is the wrong color blue. They mixed us the wrong color at the hardware store. I had to go back and get a new color.

Here is blue number two!! Let me tell you how excited I was to paint this color.




Here, the room is pretty much finished unless we decide to put up crown molding. It has only taken about 4 day (2 days longer than I expected). But, things look great and we are really excited about it. We plan on getting the furnishings in about three weeks then we will be rolling.

Target Deals

Today Christina and I went to Target to register so that we had two places for people to go find things. What we found were some KILLER DEALS!!!! I know, I know we aren't supposed to be buying things for ourselves but we couldn't pass up the deal we got on our swing. Its the same thing that we registered for at Baby's 'R' Us but we got it for $35. So, if you are a new parent or parent to be check out Target this week. You may have to look for somethings and do some price checking but if it was on clearance then they have marked it down again and there are some good deals. Happy hunting!!

Calling All Parents

Christina and I have started registering for things for the new baby. We don't know what we need and what we don't need. I was wondering if there was anything that you needed that you did not know you needed before your kids came. Also, what don't you need. I hope to get a bunch of comments on this message. We are willing to take advice from everyone. Your kids don't have to be young anymore. This means everyone thats a parent. Thank you in advance for your help!!!

PS, make sure you post who the comment is from.

Heart Troubles

Christina and I went to the heart doctor on Wednesday. They don't think that it is a big problem but she did have to go in today and have an echo cardiogram to make sure that there were no defects or problems structurally with her heart. She also had to wear a monitor for the day, this was a source of stress for Christina. She really did not want to wear it. She wanted to have a smooth pregnancy with no problems. This heart issue was a bump in the road that she didn't want to have to deal with. Hopefully, she will have all the tests come back as a simple as the doctors say. They say that she has a problem with the return of the blood due to the swelling of her uterus that causes the blood pressure to drop and the hearts reaction is to start beating rappidly to try to keep up. So we hope thats all it is.
