Last weekend we put the crib together and started decorating the baby's room. It's exciting to see it all come together and check some big things off our ever-expanding to-do list!

Jason kept trying to socialize...

...but eventually got back to work!

I helped, too! We love this wall decal we found to brighten up the room.

Finished products!

2 Year Anniversary

This past weekend we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. Looking back at the past year, we realized how much has changed and how far we've come. We feel so lucky to have each other and so much to celebrate!

We started out the night by going to the spot where Jason
proposed over 3 years ago...

and walked around downtown Grand Rapids on a beautiful night!

Then we had dinner at Cygnus 27 (where we ate before Jason proposed).
It was a perfect evening :^)

Here I am at 25 weeks...definitely looking and feeling big these days!

Baby stats this week: weighs almost 2 lbs; eyes can open and close; measures about 13 inches and is gaining weight quickly!

21 Week Ultrasound

Yesterday we got to see baby - in 4D! The sonographer had a tough time getting clear pictures because the baby was moving and switching positions the whole time...we're planning on never sitting down once this child can crawl! Everything looked great and baby is growing nicely.

My Own Bob Vila

Jason came up with the design for our changing table and did an awesome job constructing it this summer! This dresser was my Great-Grandma Lucy's and after being passed down through several generations, and even more coats of paint, I'm excited that my kids will get to use it, too!

Here it is in the baby's room (so far our only piece of furniture in the nursery), complete with gifts we've gotten for baby.

Baby's presence is felt

This week was the first time we were able to feel the baby from the outside. Since we first felt the baby kick, it seems to be happening more frequently. I think we have quite the active child!!!
