21 weeks-It's a BOY!

I am 21 weeks pregnant! I can't believe it honestly. I went to the doctor on Dec. 11th for my ultrasound. We confirmed it is a BOY! Chad will have a fishing buddy now! His name will be ETHAN TYLER YORK. I have bought so many clothes for him! I just can't resist them! I love Gymboree and baby gap the most! Chad says I will have enough to change him 4 times a day! ha!

I am doing his room in a monkey theme. We are putting up the chair rail in January and then we will paint the top half sage green and the bottom half chocolate brown. I have picked my crib and changing table system out from Pottery Barn Kids in "expresso" color. We are going to start getting the furniture, painting, and doing registeries in Jan. I have found a few monkey items that I love at Babysrus, along with the car seat, swing, stroller, and other neat things Ethan will need. I am designing his baby bedding from a website online. They do custom bedding and I have already ordered my swatches and picked out the different fabrics I want to use. A couple of major things I have to decide on in the next few months is a babysitter and a pediatrician (hopefully Dr. Kelly). I have registered for 4 classes to take at the Medical Center to get prepared for this baby! I am feeling lots of kicks and flips in my stomach. Ethan is very active and always reacts to loud noises. I have a really good appetite now and I have been eating things I would never touch like cooked carrots, broccoli, etc. My next doctor's appt. is Jan. 11th. I will get my sugar tested for gestational diabetes at this visit.

Tonight we are going to rest at home and get ready for Christmas. Thursday night will be spent with the King's in Leitchfield. Friday we will travel to TN to stay with Ron & Shayne at their cabin and visit with family there. Saturday we will come back home and have Christmas with my mamaw in Millerstown that night. Sunday night we will have Christmas with my parents! Lots of visiting coming up soon! I need to get rested up! I love Christmas time!
