Halfway There!

On August 11th I had my 20-week, Level 2, ultrasound.  I am lucky to get an ultrasound at every doctor's visit but the 20-week ultrasound is an important one where they check to make sure that everything is developing properly for the baby.  We got some good pictures of Kolton that day:

He is waving!  "Hi!"

The bottoms of his feet.

Looking right at us.

This one is my favorite.  You can see his profile really well and you can see his little foot on the right side too! :)

I am 22 weeks along now (5 months). We are starting to figure out how we want to decorate the nursery and have a recliner, crib and changing table so far. The next step will be painting, which we are still figuring out.

We went to Babies R Us last weekend and registered!!!  Registering was both fun and exhausting!  It was an all day process!  It was fun to get to pick out some of the things that Kolton will be sleeping in, playing with, wearing, etc.  :)  We also have a couple of items listed on myregistry.com.  We will probably register at Target as well but that will have to wait until we have another weekend with nothing going on...probably end of September or early October.

I also wanted to take time to thank everyone who has given us little baby gifts and items already.  We are so blessed to have people in our lives who care enough to give us some things for the baby.  Here are some pictures of some of the stuff we have gotten:

From Kris' Aunt Ann

From Larry and Grandma Ruth (my mom)

From Diane and Papa Mike (my dad)

From Grandma Mary (Kris' Mom)

From the Dahlke's

From Chris (co-worker)

We also got our crib from Donnie and Abi Davison.  Huge "thank you" to them and we will have a picture of it when it's all set up. :)

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

My next doctor appointment is on Wednesday.  I'll post the new ultrasound pictures after that.

We are also trying to get started on our wedding Save-the-Dates.  Hopefully those will get sent out in the next couple of weeks! :)



Summertime!

Phew!  Sorry for the long delay in between blog posts!  If you know Kris and me at all then you know that our summers are always jam-packed!  I'm not the kind of girl to let being pregnant slow me down!

Soooooo, we had our last appointment with Dr. Pae on August 2nd (Happy Birthday to me!).  The baby was very active so we didn't get as many good pictures of him BUT we did get to confirm that it is a HIM growing inside of me!  I wish we could have gotten a picture of his "little boy parts" but he was too squirmy!  We did get a really funny picture of our little guy though:

18 weeks!

We like to think of this as the "hardcore" picture.  He's got his scary skeleton face and he looks like he is flexing his arm at us.  I decided he has listened to way too much Steel Panther (if you don't know who they are check them out on I-Tunes, but please have your sense of humor ready!).  No more heavy rock for the baby!  I decided we can start playing him Journey or something.  :)

"Have you decided on a name yet?" you are asking...

Kolton (middle name pending) Kamakian

Kris will have to post when he decides the middle name.  We have two that we are trying to pick from.

I have my big 20-week ultrasound tomorrow morning.  I hope we get another good picture of Kolton!

In wedding news, I bought my wedding dress!!!  Obviously I can't say much about it here, but I guess I can say that its ivory and....yeah, I think that's all I can really say! :)

Wedding colors have changed slightly.  I'm thinking they probably won't change again considering we are going to send out Save-the-Dates in the next month or so and those will have the colors on them.  The wedding colors are now coral, gray and ivory.

And I still haven't picked up our engagement pictures!  I know, I totally suck!  I'll try to do that this weekend ot maybe I'll have the photographer just mail them to us!  And I'll try not to take so long to post again! :)
