Projects!

This weekend was project central at our house! (My poor husband must think I have lost my mind...) We knew that we wanted to paint the nursery because it hasn't been painted since we moved in and there were a ton of little "pin" holes in the walls and we have no idea what paint color our walls are so we haven't been able to patch them- needless to say it has been making me nuts since I noticed them shortly after moving in. So we finally decided on some colors- a bright/light blue and grey! (Very daring for us monochromatic types). When we first started with the grey I was really nervous that it was more purple than grey and everything would be ruined, a little sleep and some daylight thankfully proved me wrong and we have a beautiful brownish grey pair of walls! The blue was the perfect shade with the grey and everything came together nicely! We even found a cute car town rug on craigslist that is grey/blue (because what little boys room is complete without a car mat to play on??)

one grey wall and one blue wall all done!

 While we were waiting for paint to dry Aaron got to work repainting all of the shiny gold things in the house- i.e. door knobs and the fireplace! Thanks to some smart ladies on Pinterest who posted how to use spray paint to spruce up just about anything!! We only spent about $10 for the paint to cover about 15 door knobs! Major savings if you ask us (just don't look too closely we are not professionals but they look pretty good!) :)

 Tah-dah! The finished room! It looks so cute!

Now we just need the lil man to come and enjoy it! (Just not too early).

22 Weeks- headed to church

Aaron got a Red Lobster gift card at work a week or so ago and we decided after a long day of painting and cleaning and projects we would clean up and head out for dinner! We snagged this shot on the way out the door- I told Aaron that I was feeling "lop-sidded" all night and maybe the lil guy was sitting crooked? Things are still going well, aside from a few headaches and increasingly crazy blood sugars but I really can't complain!

Pictures

Ok, so I heard that the little video clips are a pain for viewing our little guy. So with the help of my mom we got the ultrasound pictures scanned! Here you go!

 His little face

Looking right at us!

10 toes

two very wiggly legs!

OH BOY!

Today was the big day! We had our 22 week ultrasound and got to see our little guy for about 40 min.! It was fun to watch him swallow and wiggle and play. We can't wait to hold and snuggle him in February! So far things look good (today was just the u/s we meet with the OB on Friday to actually "discuss" everything). Our little guy is quite the wiggle worm- he kinda kicked at the ultra sound wand toward the end, I guess he was tired of us invading his space and interrupting his nap.

These are a few of the images from today- they came as little 2-3 second video clips for some reason so hopefully you can enjoy them. (This weekend I will scan in the pics they printed out for us, they should be easier to see).

 

You can watch him kick toward the right!

Feet (look toward the upper Right- his little toes are closer together and heels apart)

Profile

Face -looking right at us (he has a pretty cute little nose!)

Nice strong heartbeat!

Right arm- you can see all his little bones!

We are excited to get a few things done now that we know he is a he! A few weeks ago one of my Grandma's asked why we wanted to find out boy/girl and Aaron just looked at her then pointed to me and asked her "have you met my wife?" We all laughed and I couldn't help but giggle about how much "planning" I had already done and how much there is still to do! ;)

Hope you enjoyed our pictures! 

Love, 

Aaron, Kira, and baby boy

BUMP!

Well, when I found out I was pregnant I told myself I would take a picture of my growing belly each week... do you have any idea how hard it is to take a decent picture of yourself by yourself?? (With Aaron's work and school schedule we only see each other on the weekends and when I am up to go potty at midnight- 2am when he is just getting home) We have managed to snag a few pics the past few weeks and hopefully I will remember to keep taking pics! So here you go... just thought I would share a few of the recent ones with you :)

 (Notice the Blue and Orange? It was game day! Go BRONCOS!!)

(and of course we are all set for next football season... we can't live in bronconation and not have proper bronco attire for the entire family)

I have been feeling pretty good the past few weeks aside from a migraine headache at 2 am that landed us in labor and delivery for observation and medication (nothing was really wrong they just wanted to observe me since I haven't had a migraine before). The baby didn't seem to mind, I could feel the little wiggle worm and the nurse found a nice strong heart beat. Hopefully that is our last trip to the L&D until February! :)
