Halfway there!

It's been a very busy two weeks since we found out we're having a boy. For starters, my parents bought us the bedroom set that we liked. It was a lot of fun to go shopping for the first time! Larry and I also registered at Babies R Us. What an exhausting, yet fun endeavor! And, although we have been talking about names and we have a list of names that we like, we haven't made a final decision. We are thisclose to making a decision, though. 

In other exciting news, we're buying a house! We close on March 28. So far, everything has been going very smoothly in the process. The day after we saw the house that we really wanted, we ruled it out because it was higher than we wanted to go. That day, our realtor and friend, Daniel, phoned to tell us the price went down. We went to look at other homes anyway, but they were all under contract or out of our price range. We keep praying that if we aren't meant to have a home right now, God will intervene. He has blessed us tremendously this first year of marriage and we are going to continue to have faith. 

And yes, even as we have been busy so has the baby! He is growing so much! When I lay down at night I love to just watch my stomach. You can see it move and twitch now when he kicks me hard enough. It's hard to believe a real live baby is in there!

The following pictures show me at weeks 20 and 21. Only 19 more weeks to go!
