Fishing Buddies

Vic took Ranger on his very first fishing trip!

Tell me he's not the cutest dog in the entire world! Oh I just love that Vic and Ranger have this special bond are truly the best of friends. In just 4 short months Vic will be wearing baby in a wrap while he's fishing with Ranger. The three men of the house gone fishing, I can see it now! :)

Baby Alexander is a...

BOY!!! We are so so excited we can't even handle it :) Vic has a fishing buddy, I have another handsome man in my life, Ranger and Siska have a little brother to play with, and my mudroom will now own up to it's name! Oh boy oh boy!

Right after we announced that baby is  a boy my sister gave us a gift and this was the card...

July? Umm Mindy I'm due in April. We were sitting there very confused as to why she put July then all of a sudden my mom blurts, "Are you pregnant?" AHHH!!! Mindy is pregnant folks. The lady who said "I am SO done having kids! I don't want anymore. Maybe if I could get a surrogate so I don't have to be sick for 9 months." is so and totally pregnant! YAY! YAY!! YAY!!! Cousins just three months apart is going to be so awesome :)

22 Weeks!

Gender: BOY!!!

Size: 11 Inches long & 1 whole pound :)

Names: We had two names that we decided if it was a boy then it would definitely be one of those names. Since finding out that list has grown to about 10! Vic likes the idea of us waiting till he is born to officially decide which is great except that what if he comes out and I look at him and think, "Wow, he is definitely a William*!" and Vic looks at him and thinks "There's my boy Jim*!" Honestly scares me a little!

*Neither of those names are on the actual list.

Movement: Lots of moving around especially when I am in the car or eating. Actually this morning I watched the video (which I have every intention of posting once I can figure it out) of when we announced to my family that he is a boy and as soon as the balloon came out of the box and my family was screaming he kicked so hard! He is a boy and he knows it :)

Cravings: Any and every kind of soup!

Aversions: Salami, but that might be because we bought some and every day last week I had a turkey and salami sandwich! I know this is a little controversial because "they" say not to eat lunch meat when you are pregnant. Well my mom and sister both ate it all the way through their pregnancies and everyone turned out just fine! But then again my mom, sorry to throw you under the bus, smoked when she was pregnant with my sister! Explains a LOT! ;)

Nursery: This is the question I get ALL the time! "Have you decided on your nursery yet? Have you decorated your nursery yet? What is your nursery theme?" Eek! It honestly freaks me out a little to dedicate an entire 50% of the bedrooms in our house to someone who will only be about 2 feet long and sleep all the time. So I am not changing the extra bedroom into the nursery since it is currently our office, guest room, and library. I have zero desire to rearrange our entire house when baby is little and he can fit just about anywhere. Our bedroom is the entire upstairs and it has a landing when you first come up the stairs so I am turning that landing, which is currently the shoe/gun storage, into a mini nursery. As for a theme... I'm not really the theme type. I am going to start with orange and turquoise and see where it goes from there.
