Drumroll please...

IT'S A BOY!
Andy and I are happy to announce that in February we'll be welcoming Logan Patrick McKenna into the world. I will admit, I was a bit bummed out that he's not a girl (still a little bummed), but as the days continue I'm getting more and more excited. It is very strange to think that my belly is getting bigger because I have a little BOY growing inside of me. He was being a bit stubborn (apparently he gets this from me) when we took the ultrasound and would not show the goods. Eventually we got a quick picture of the family jewels, but alas, no profile pic to go with it. Not sure, but this may be defined as baby porn.

Now that we're sure of the sex, the planning of the nursery begins...along with the stressing out about money. Secret: BABIES ARE EXPENSIVE! When you actually start adding up how much cribs cost, and bedding, plus the mattress, add in a stroller, car seat, and on and on and on... You get the picture. I almost passed out. Even so, I refuse to have my baby is foofy animal nursery with tons of pastel blue, I might throw up. It's just not my style. So, with that said, we bought this very modern, very un-foofy bedding set from Target.

We're thinking about painting the walls the light blue color on the bedding, with a chocolate brown stripe going around the top portion of the room. I'll try to bring pops of orange into the room with picture frames, rug, etc. We haven't actually seen the bedding in person yet, but it should be arriving this week. Hopefully I still like it. Then it's on to painting (with low VOC paint so that Logan and I are safe) during fall break. I've done multiple rooms at once, I think one room is doable. I still haven't felt a kick yet, although I'm definitely showing.

I can't wait to finally feel something though. Very exciting. On other news, tomorrow is my birthday! Presents are always accepted.
