Twenty-Three Weeks

Twenty-Three Weeks

Let's be honest, the very most exciting thing about this week was the fact that my husband was coming HOME! I spent the week relaxing and then running to the store to fill our cabinets with 'man food' AKA more than cereal for dinner.

Little Baby Hess was showing off this week, kicking up a storm. I told her lots that her dad was coming home soon, and I think she was kicking me saying "wooooo hooo!" Or maybe practicing because I'd been bragging to her dad on the telephone about how he'd be able to feel her kick when he got home. I had guarded by belly from stray hands until he got to feel her for the first time... he's kind of a big deal.

She kicked for him when we got home and we spent the long weekend on the couch watching lots of college football. Kyle's so cute telling baby-in-the-belly that he's excited to watch Nebraska football with her one day. If she's anything like her mom or her grandma (my mom) she'll learn to cheer and jump around and tell the officials exactly what the call should have been. The ladies of the fam have been known to get excited about football when the game's on...

So for the bump picture of the week, we decided to wear our college football best. And let's just say that my shirt may have been a little smaller than I imagined. And therefore I may look a little bigger than I imagined.

They say baby's the size of a grapefruit, but she sure can move! I was watching a little more of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and looked down one night to see my belly moving! So crazy...

Started planning a little more this week. We went to Target and Babies R Us to do a little registering for baby things and got to park in the Stork Parking!



It was kind of crazy, our Babies R Us didn't have much in the store but I had my super-researches-everything-ahead-of-time list. Then leave it to Target to have cute things and make us all happy and full of Icees and popcorn!

This week we were also getting ready to make this house a home for our family. So this long weekend (after all the football) we finally started the headboard for our room...

and we even picked out a paint color for the baby room (there was a sale at Lowe's on paint, lol)...

More on the projects later, got plans this next weekend for the painting now that my strong husband moved all the furniture to the center of the room...

Happy Friday. Twenty-Three weeks, she'll be here before we know it, ahh crazy!
