Registered!

We survived the day at Babies 'R Us and got baby Bowman registered! Wow, what an experience! Thank goodness Elizabeth came and helped mom and I navigate the store. Who knew there were so many things for a tiny little baby.
Jeff and I are getting so excited....now, if we could just agree on a name! More fun things are to come on the blog so keep checking it out.
Lots and lots of love to you all!

Baby Bowman Bedding

I'm so excited to start working on the nursey! I just ordered this fabulous baby bedding, and I can't wait for it to get here (we have to wait 4-6 weeks). I loved it from the second I saw it and decided no matter boy or girl, I was going to use it. I hope you guys love it as much as we do!

More to come....

Firsts

On Friday, I had my first mommy spending spree! With all the excitement of finally knowing what we are having, I just couldn't resist!
All these little outfits came from Judy's in Lebanon and, of course, I think they are the cutest outfits ever! I was in a depression by the time I hit Judy's. I had been looking all day and everything I saw was gross. What happened to dressing kids in sweet little baby clothes?!?!

And here is the last of the little outfits....although I really just wanted them to pack up the entire store and bring it out to my car!!!!

This is my first burp cloth....how freaking cute!!! Elizabeth came by on her day off on Thursday and brought this to me. She made it on Wednesday when we found out. I've been envious of the ones she made for Addison, so now our little baby boy can spit up in style too!

And these little babies are our first bottles from Alissa. She brought them over when we were going to dinner last weekend. We had been talking about them because these are the best bottles, and she surprised me with them. I'm so excited, and I know they will be getting lots and lots of use!

This is my first baby gift for Jeff. They had these little sets up front at Judy's and I couldn't resist-especially since Jeff's been talking about his son riding in his big green tractor (he is one proud papa). The set includes a onesie, hat, and socks...it's amazing our kiddo will be this small.

And lastly, I got a sweet surprise from Diane Gordon yesterday. She got our baby boy an outfit for when he's big enough to sit in Jeff's lap on the John Deere tractor. It's my first gift outfit and it couldn't be more perfect. Jeff and I love it!
That's all the firsts for now. I'm sure there are so many more in store. We are working on the nursery, so hopefully I will have some pictures up soon. Thanks for keeping up with us. We are over the moon that we are having a baby boy. This is the best thing that's ever happened to us.
XOXO!

Baby Bowman is....

Baby Bowman is a BOY!!!! We are absolutely thrilled. I don't think there could be a prouder papa than Jeff today. He's already talking about all things they will do together...melts my heart.

Thanks for all the love and excitement for us today. You guys have made this pregnancy the most wonderful, magical, exciting time ever. We love you guys and now we can wait to announce the name!

Stay tuned....XOXO!!!

Updates

Jeff and I attended our first "Labor of Love" birthing class on Tuesday night. We are going to Summit Hospital (where I plan on delivering) for the next 4 weeks in a row. Our instructor, Mrs. Tanya, is wonderful. Below is a picture of us before we left...can't you just see the excitement in Jeff's face!?!?

And, here is a look at all the materials we will go through in the class....more reading!!!

Lastly, here is a shot of me and the dogs (Hopie and Cookie) going on a walk. We hit the farm about 3-4 days a week for some exercise. The weather is so beautiful here now that I wish I could get out everyday.
I'm still feeling great, and I'm thankful for that everyday. I have been a very lucky girl through this pregnancy, and I'm trying to make sure I don't take a single second of it for granted.

We are officially on the count down to know what baby Bowman is! Next Wednesday, April 7th we find out. We can't wait to share the big news and see who was right about the gender. For the record, I think it's a boy-Jeff thinks it's a girl. Stay tuned....

XOXO!
