What's New with Mom and Dad

We are absolutely thrilled about becoming parents. I have wanted to be a mom as long as I can remember.
Joe has come with me to the doctor's each time, however for my 16 week appointment he won't be able to go, but that's not really a big appointment. The 20 week appointment is when we find out what flavor we are having!!!! I cannot wait. He's getting used to the idea :)
We are beginning to think about how and what we are going to do with the nursery.
Right now, the baby's room is our spare bedroom and my closet. We bought some bins for me to put my clothes in that I won't be able to wear for a while and hopefully I will get that done this weekend.
The next step is figuring out how to fit everything else, (Joe's clothes and mine) into one small closet in our bedroom. Hopefully we can share well.
Then I have to find a way to con my dad into doing a custom baby closet in the nursery so that it is more size appropriate for a kid.
I can't wait to find out what we are having so that I can start on the fun stuff in the nursery!

Even though the baby is growing rapidly, I am still looking fairly normal these days. (feeling normal is another story though) If you didn't know me, you would just think I had been eating a few too many cookies.
I did have a minor growth spurt over the weekend though. At the doctor's office I had only gained one pound from the last time I was in, but I feel like I have gained about 20! My pants are definetly starting to get more uncomfortable. I guess I am getting the beginning of the lovely baby bump. Luckily I have people to lend me maternity clothes!

Joe however is wasting away as I am taking up more and more space in the room. He is on a new diet that our doctor has and he is doing VERY well. 15 lbs in a week and a half. (something about this just doesn't seem fair) None the less I am happy one of us won't frighten our child with their size :)

That's all for now. More updates to come!
