16 Week Update

Nothing HUGE to report, but wanted to give a 16 week update.

I went to the doctor today and after searching for a few minutes, my doctor found our baby hiding with a strong heartbeat of 152 beats per minute! We heard the lil' baby kicking around too which was very cool!

All is going great and I'm finally past the "morning" sickness, and boy am I happy that's over!!! :) I was sick until around 14 weeks, but the past two weeks have been great. I feel great other than the usual fatigue.

Randy and I have been to Babies R Us twice searching for the nursery furniture, but no luck so far. We're just not convinced that they are the only place in Detroit to find baby furniture! So, if you have any secrets...please share :) These two trips we've left the store feeling SUPER overwhelmed. I've spent a lot of time online looking for nursery themes and baby names.

Two weeks from tomorrow we find out the sex of the baby and make sure the baby is growning as it should. I tell you, that day couldn't come fast enough! That is the day before Thanksgiving -- God knows we have a lot to be thankful for this year!!! We're so excited!!!!

So, check back in two weeks for the big news!

we found our crib at baby depot (i think that is what it is called) it was in a strip mall across from great lakes crossing. also i went to pottery barn outlet to get ella's stuff for her nursery because i was not into the "theme" nursery. i got her a quilt, pillow and rug for cheap. not that she used the pillow or quilt for that matter but it all matches her room. you may even find a crib at the outlet. just a suggestion. happy baby shopping! fun
love danielle

Krista,

We are so excited for you guys! This is just great! I see that a friend of yours mentioned Baby Depot. It was actually USA Baby, and they closed the Auburn Hills store, HOWEVER, they still do have a store in Clinton Twp, which is where we got our crib. They have a NICE selection of cribs over Babies R Us. I believe they also have a web site...www.usababy.com?? SOmething like that. Another place that has cribs, but they are expensive, is House of Bedrooms Kids on Telegraph N. of Square Lake Road a few miles. They have really nice quality furniture. It's actually where we bought Trevor's big boy furniture when we needed to move him from the crib to make room for Lucas (plus, he was very ready to make that move anyway!). I know we live only two doors away but I can't wait to see you soon. Maybe the boys and I will take a walk down to see you soon!
