23 week check up
Today I had our 23 week check up and everything looks great! I have gained another 7 lbs bring the total to 12 lbs. :) Our little guy has a great heart rate of 150 and doesn't care for the Doppler much I don't think since he kicked it mid count so she had to do it over again. haha my belly is measuring 23 cm which is right on for normal. Next month I go in for my glucose test and they'll do another ultrasound to see if my placenta has moved up. Let's all pray that it has I would rather not have to deal with placenta previa and lose the opportunity to deliver our guy naturally.
In other fun baby news Ricky was playing a video game this weekend that had funky techno music to it. Our little guy LOVED it he was dancing like crazy you could actually see my belly moving to the music. When Ricky would pause the game he'd stop dancing and when the music resumed so would he it was hilarious! He wakes me up every so often at night from his kicks but other then that I couldn't ask for a better baby. I'm just praying that he is this kind to his mother once he's here.
We've finished our baby registries at Target and Babies R Us and are going to start working on the nursery in the coming weeks. My friend Kelsey found the fabric for the bedding at Wal-Mart so I've gotta go buy it so I can start making the bumper and dust ruffle. I'm really so excited to meet this little guy!
I'm going to California in less then 4 weeks to have a girls weekend and a baby shower so that's the next thing to look forward to baby wise.

It's a boy!!
HERE HE IS!!!
Sorry it's a longer video, watch what you want of it, I could watch it all day! He is a strong healthy little boy. He is weighing in at 9 oz, everything is looking great and normal. He is fidgety, which I'm starting to feel, but was very cooperative. I'll post the other video we have as soon as it uploads. I'm just amazed at how clear it all came through. We were able to see his legs and toes and hands and fingers and nose and he even has a little chubby belly! Love him to pieces already!!
As for me everything was looking good I've gained 4lbs in the last month so a total of 5 lbs. The placenta is looking a little low and back in my uterus, not blocking the cervix at all but still a little lower then they would like so next month they'll do another ultrasound to make sure that it has moved back more so it won't be a problem during deliver. They also said I have a fibrosis growing in my uterus, but said it was fairly normal and not very big so it's not anything to worry about, but they will monitor it since it can grow along with the baby and just make me feel bigger then what I would be with out it. And after the baby is born if it doesn't go away on its own I can have it removed.
So there you go! We are so happy and excited to be having this little boy join our family! Now we've got to decide on a name and theme for the bedroom and all the other fun boy stuff! Can't wait!

Food Storage Month one
I got this from my boss at work and thought I'd share it each month.
It's a new year and a new opportunity to prepare your home with a one-year supply of food for only about $5.00 a week for two people! If you've always wanted to get your food storage under control, then this is a great way to do this over time and in a very simple manner. Each month we will be printing the weekly purchases.
JANUARY
Each week take $5.00 and then buy the specified item for that week. Remember that some weeks will not use all of the $5.00 and some weeks will use more then $5.00. Plan to set aside $5.00 each week regardless. There are also a few weeks you will have nothing to buy, but set aside the money for those weeks as well. by the end of the 52 weeks you will have 700 lbs of wheat, 240 lbs of sugar, 40 lbs of powdered milk, 13 lbs of salt, 10 lbs of honey, 5 lbs of peanut butter, 45 cans of tomato soup, 32 cans of mushroom soup, 15 cans of tuna fish, 10 boxes of macaroni and cheese, 500 aspirin, 730 multiple vitamins, 6 lbs of dried yeast and 6 lbs of shortening. This should sustain 2 people for 1 year.
* I personally substituted spaghetti for the macaroni and cheese since ricky prefers that over mac and cheese, and I'll do flour instead of wheat since I don't have a grinder and don't really know how to use wheat. Yes I know I need to be better about those things.
But there you go Katie :)

Baby Name Help
Okay here's the deal. I've been wanting to discuss baby names with Ricky from the day we found out we were expecting. But he never felt the need to discuss it till we knew what we were having. I've still been thinking up names but I'm completely stumped when it comes to boy names, I've got a few ideas for girls, although my number one pick for a girl, PIPER, has been completely and totally shot down by Ricky. So I'm asking you guys for suggestions, what are some of your favorite boy and girl names? I feel like I need to start a list either way, and then next Monday as long as the baby is being cooperative we'll know which list to continue with. So please suggest away!!
