22 Weeks Today!

All in all it has been a quiet week. I feel like this is the long lull before the storm. ha! Kind of like wedding planning-- there is so much to do at the beginning and the end, but in the middle... things are just quiet.

We got our bedding for the crib yesterday and it is so adorable! This is the set we decided to go with:

We will not be going all out with the boarder and all-- that just seems like too much to me. In person it is super cute and with the walls painted green in that room it looks really good! I was so excited to see UPS pull up yesterday! I have been dying to get it and now I feel like I cant wait to put the entire nursery together. Our furniture is a darker wood than what is in the pictures so I am really looking forward to it all coming together.

One week from today, I will be headed to the airport for my trip to CT!!! I am SO excited and cant wait to get there. I will have 10 long days in CT and most will be pleasure! This will be my last trip home before the baby and I am really looking forward to seeing family and friends. Hard to believe that the next time I make it to CT I will have our baby boy in tow and it wont be all about me (meaning-- I get to do what I want when I want). Exciting thought, but so very strange at the same time!

Today Jellybean is the size of papaya!
Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
