23 weeks and baby things

This week marks 23 weeks, and I definitely showing. It seems like it happened overnight. This past weekend my family came into town, because Sarah was running the half marathon. The weather that day wasn't suppose to be the greatest, but she finished in time before the rain came. After seeing some of those people finish the race, I told Brandon that next year we could do it! We will see about that he said.


Saturday into Sunday, I started to notice that my belly button was flattening out. I heard that it should eventually start to poke out. We will see everyone's body is different. Last week though we got some things for Baby Hoop. I say baby hoop because his name is up for discussion. I would start a poll on the side, but everyone says it should be something we decided because everyone will have their opinion. Baby Hoop's Great Grandma Hoop purchased us our stroller. We decided to go with the Bob Revolution jogging stroller. We placed the order a couple of weeks ago with REI. (REI is a outdoor sporting goods store) I highly suggest purchasing it from them, because when we arrived to pick it up, it was all put together! A friend of ours said that is nice because when you are putting together baby items the directions say 20-30min but it can take twice as long. So we picked it up last week. Its so great, I can't wait to start using it. We do have to wait though, we don't have the infant car seat attachment yet. Once we have that and the infant car seat we will be ready to go.




Also last week I picked up our bassinet bedding. I was searching online about a month ago for new bedding options, and when I saw this I loved it. In our house the baby's room is upstairs, and the master is down. So the bassinet will be in our room for a while.


We also have been getting baby clothing for him. We have gotten a couple of Bears outfits, so come fall and football season he will be somewhat prepared. He has an outfit for 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and the last item you see will be something he will be wearing next winter.



This past week we have been able to feel the baby kick me. I say kick because Brandon thought he was having a hiccups. Occasionally I will feel stuff during the day, but its not becoming a regular occurrence, they say that will come in time.
