Getting so EXCITED!

If it's possible things get more exciting everyday here in the Geer household.

The baby continues to practice his crime fighting moves (his kicks and punches are practice for his future as Batman.) And let me be the first to tell you he's getting stronger everyday!

Our first baby shower is next weekend and all of the grandparents are coming up to celebrate with us. We are so lucky to have friends like the Kundrats and Duprees to do something so nice for us. We appreciate it more than they know!

In addition to going to the baby shower, PaPa Denny is coming up to help us further prepare the nursery. We're not so handy, but PaPa Denny would give the "Bob The Builder" a run for his money. Thank you PaPa Denny!!! :)

Also, I've had a few requests for pictures of my belly. It's not huge, this kid is pretty good at hiding, but here's what I look like now, 29 weeks today.

The "now famous" Monkey Tree

So, yes I am one of those mom's that wants my son's nursery to be perfect long before he arrives. With that said, may I introduce The Monkey Tree...

While shopping for furniture I found a sample of this in the store. It, OF COURSE, matched the baby's room perfectly and I had to have one. This one was custom-made to match the room perfectly (I got to pick out all the colors), and yes, I probably paid to too much for it, but it was a must have.

This Monkey Tree is about 2 foot tall and hangs from the ceiling. Other than the monkey making monkey noises it doesn't do anything fancy, it's just too CUTE!

This is a picture of the hamper for the room... doesn't it go perfectly?

Amazing, sweet little face!

Today we had another ultrasound and to my surprise they took some images in 4D. I was so excited!!! Technology is so amazing on so many wonderful levels!

I've been really obsessed with figuring out who this kid looks like since they gave me these photos... any thoughts?

It was the coolest thing ever to see this little person we've been talking to all this time.

According to measurements he weighs 1 lb, 9 ozs and the doctor kept using words like "perfect" and "really great."

Oh and his Daddy got to feel him kick for the first time last night. It's been a truly exciting few days for us! We are so blessed!

My Best Buddy Will!

A posting by Baby Geer:

This weekend was fun! My future best buddy Will Morgan came to visit. He lives in Jacksonville and although I'm not big enough or really around to play yet it was a fun time none the less.

As you can see in the picture Will is a very big boy. He loves his fingers, celiling fans and he thought Daddy's dancing Cocky was pretty fun too. He already has a lot to teach me and I can't wait to learn it all. I have a feeling that when we're older, we will get into a lot of trouble together. :)

The Baby Registry!

This week we registered for baby stuff! I was very excited about the whole process. I had been preparing and researching the best products for months. Jason loves that bar code zapper gun, so that was his job. But overall I think we did a pretty good job.
In the end we determined that 1) picking the right/best items for our Lil' Buddy was hard and really exhausting work and 2) where are we going to put all this stuff??
We are now registered at Babies R' Us and Target.
Hope you're all doing well!

Very Busy Week

We have had a very busy week getting ready for the arrival of the baby.

Last week we settled on a theme for his room. It's very cute and very little boy! It's called Ahoy Mate... sail boats, whales and the cutest monkey in a tree. Here's a picture from the website. Obviously, we are nowhere close to having this much done on his room - but this will give you an idea of where we're headed with the nursery.

We also bought furniture, so once he makes his grand arrival, he'll have a place to sleep. We are very happy with our purchase and it should be here in 10-12 weeks. That's one less thing we have to think about later.

Aside from the excitment of his moving around and kicking, we also had our 20 week ultrasound today. The baby is growing so fast. He already weighs 12 ounces. He's also very healthy, which is a blessing. Here's a picture of his tiny little feet. Correction - not so tiny feet. He's on track to have great big feet , just like his Daddy.

16 Week Ultrasound

We had our 16 week ultrasound today. We are excited to annouce that it is now 100% little boy in there. He weighs 6 ounces and is 4 1/2 inches long, right on target for his November 15th due date. The doctor said he is very healthy and we are very thankful for that!
Here are a few pictures of him. I know we're pretty partial, but we think he's REALLY cute, even if he is very tiny and transparent.
Now - what ever shall we do with the nursery??
