Brooks
We have some middle names in mind, but have not decided for sure. I'll let you know when his full name becomes official! I'm sure he will remain baby Bud for many of you out there ;)
I finally felt him move and Tim was able to feel him as well!! I have to give credit to my BFF, CJ, who has come up with the perfect concoction for getting their wiggles out! She first felt her son move while watching the Bachelorette finale and eating icecream with chocolate chips. So... CJ brought over icecream and chocolate chips during the Bachelorette finale. And guess what ?!? He moved!! It was a very special moment!
After that night, I have begun to feel him more and more. His kicks are still gentle, but continue to be sporadic (although this week he should begin to start a sleep and awake cycle).
Brooks is now about 11 inches long and weighs about 1 pound!! He is being compared to a spaghetti squash or a package of oreos, yum! His facial features are becoming more distinct, although his irises are still lacking pigment. The bones in his body are now full of bone marrow that is able to produce red blood cells. Brooks' sense of touch is more developed and he is busy exploring all the things around him. He is putting fat on his body now which will help with brain development :)
The nursery is finally finished! It was quite a project! Here are a few pictures:
The furniture arrived (minus dresser), although we have not put the crib together yet. You can see the nightstand in the picture above.
The bedding will be perfect in the room. If you're curious, here is the link of our bedding:

The pregnancy is going great, although starting school has really worn me out! I have LOTS of forgetfulness and my belly is beginning to get in the way of my eating- not much room in there :) Can't you tell:

All in all, feeling my lil guy move puts a smile on my face everyday :)
