Well as most of you all know, Dan and I are having a baby. We are very excited for this next chapter of our lives. I realize that I am now almost 25 weeks pregnant and I haven’t posted anything since our pool was finished back in May. You see May was the month we found out about our little one and after the excitement of the positive pregnancy test set in, so did the 24/7 nausea. That lasted well into my second trimester making me a little bitter about being pregnant. But now the nausea has finally left and I am just getting bigger and bigger!!
As you can see out little boy (yep, that’s right, a BOY!) is settling right in and growing fast! This picture was taken up in Greer, Arizona where the Merrill Clan gathered for an AWESOME weekend in the mountains to celebrate Dan’s father’s 60th birthday. We had a blast being up in the huge cabin with everyone together (although we missed Nonna!!). Besides being with everyone, one my favorite parts of the trip was the cooler weather up there.
With much deliberation, we have decided on a name for out boy. . . Dylan Jack -----Jack after my step-grandfather and Dylan because we like it. So we can now all refer to the baby in my tummy as Dylan.
We are starting to get the house ready for Dylan and we have started with his bedroom. Grandmother Doris has been generous enough to start it all off with the bedding for Dylan’s crib:
Next we have finally picked out a color for the room and have painted the walls:
Don’t worry Dan did a lot of the painting and we only let me up on the ladder once.
Now that the room is all painted we are going to add trim around the window and we have purchased some fabric to make the curtains.
Stay tuned for more pictures and updates on our exciting adventure!!!
