week 21

thar she blows!
yup i actually bumped someone the other day with my belly. it makes hugging aaron a little more difficult but my belly has created a really nice ledge for holding drinks, becky is her own walking cup holder!
not much to tell for this week signed up for lamaze classes, breast feeding basics, and daddy bootcamp.
next on the things to do list is taking all these classes, ripping out the floor in the dining room, oh...the good news...we have walls in the dining room and they are straight and flat!
the nursery is coming along in the sense that we have only two holes now instead of four still working on the colors
these are the colors we are thinking, remember these are the
background colors for a wonderful mural so the blue will be the sky and the green the grass. becky is also doing a lot of mental shopping, mental shopping is the planning stage before actually spending money
things we are looking at:
stroller : bumbleride rocket
car seat : britax roundabout
baby leg warmers: babylegs
baby bath products: burt's baby bee
at this point becky get overwhelmed with the gizmo products like baby swings, baby play yards, bassinets so keeping it real in cleveland we are sticking with things that don't come with an mp3 player.

Week 20

well we got a live one!
she is a kicker. aaron loves to zerbert my belly and get her kickin' he finds this very very fun, becky on the other hand likes it when her insides are not being used as a punching bag, the scary thing is she is still super tiny, remember 8 oz. so when she becomes 7 lbs what than?
we have been thinkin' of names:
new names on our list:
Ivy : Twyla : Sadie : Sweet Pea
what have we been up to..........
here's the run down:
still working on the house we are ready to rip out the dining room floor (long story
but lets just say our house was owned by a biker gang called the "animals" in the 70's) , the nursery is almost empty and some of the walls are starting to get patched which is good thing here's some pictures, we did get new windows so we are on our way!

how will this room look like a nursery in several months?
no fears.....aaron and becky have become masters at doing a lot with very little and this room is going to have a mural that would make Michelangelo blush.
the idea is bright and happy, we are going to paint grass in a celery green (bright green) and a bright blue sky,


on one wall will be a large leafy oak tree with primary color birds sitting in the tree and flying about the entire room, red, yellow, orange birds! the ceiling will be a darker color blue with gold and silver leaf stars over lapping clouds and a big bright yellow sun.
it will be a fun room and we will take pictures as it slowly becomes a room and not a mess.
that is all we have to report for now stay tuned......as more adventures are soon to follow.

undercover secret agent pod revealed

yesterday was a big day for us we learned all about the baby
the following are a bunch of pictures of HER!
yup we are having a little baby girl she has all her fingers and all her toes and she has a big brain! so you know she follows after her mom. she was super active and shy she keep kicking mom well the camera chased her around. it was incredible to see her little heart beating, and watch her little legs kicking. she is only 8oz which is the size of a small coke bottle.



her she is all curled up ready to kick
after the ultrasound aaron and becky decided to celebrate so we went to art museum to see the barcelona exhibit which was crowed but lots of fun. we than went to the tavern company and got a hamburger and fish fry YUM YUM!
baby girl loves fish fry. our exciting day was not over though we went shopping......



we bought a crib! so now she has a house, next we need the car, the cell phone and a job right?
the next big question asked is have we registered yet......nope
we will soon.....still trying to figure out what actually is needed. we did go to baby-r-us last friday and that was scary everything needed batteries or a power source, and for what i am not sure except that all chairs, cribs, things that swing play music, have lights, and vibrate. no wonder children have ADHD i don't think its from TV i think its from baby-r-us.....so with that aaron and becky have been on the mission to find the simple things in life like wood products? so if anyone out there knows of some good links to some plastic free, manually operated toys, swings, please let us know.
we have started a wish list at oompa toys because really babies are about toys nothing else right? when you get to the site you can see the wishlist under the name "bristol" but check the site out real neat stuff...and all primary colors......we are hoping to go with the primary color scheme for the little pod and nothing pink or frilly though a nice pink tool belt would be cute (thanks grandma bristol for the idea)
we have found and would love a SVAN bouncer chair a little pricey but guess what no batteries are necessary......
so the shopping adventure will continue until than stay tuned her is a picture of her little heart:

for all of those new to blogs we love comments and you can post as many or as few as you like
all you have to do is click on comments, than you can leave us a little note........
