It's a Boy!!!

It's a boy!!! Rick and Bubba predicted the baby sex correctly.
What a blast Kevin and I had on the show with the guys doing the prediction. I'm not going to write too much about the show because we are doing a story about it here at NewsChannel 19 on October 14th. I want everyone to tune in and watch the stories. We'll be going in and showing the ultrasound and putting the Rick and Bubba prediction to the test.






So now that the cat is out of the bag...
I thought I would show everyone the progress of "Baby Stuart's" room. These are the pictures I took during the process.
My mom and dad came over a couple of Saturdays ago and helped paint the room. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We painted the room in a khaki color. Beforehand though we had to move a bed out of there and other pieces of furniture.
Right now, my mom the artist is painting pictures of animals to put on the walls. It's going to look so precious once everything is in place. That giraffe stands around 5 feet tall. He's big.

The theme is sort of a safari theme. I call it more of an animal theme. The pictures are going to be in bright colors!
Anyhow, we are still waiting on some furniture to come in. And we are finally registered at some places.
And by the way-I didn't just take pictures that Saturday. I painted and taped the walls so paint didn't drip on the baseboards. We all worked hard that day.
I even made homemade pizza to wrap up the evening. Yum!

Baby News

I've been asked for a baby update.
We have had a couple of doctors appointments since my last post. The heartbeat continues to be between 140-150 beats per minute. And I'm getting kicked all the time-I love it! Kevin has even felt the baby kick now, just last night actually.
The baby is doing good. We are shopping for a crib. Trying to settle on daycare. You know stressful things. They may sound like tiny things, but they're not.
At the end of this month we are headed down to Birmingham for the big sex prediction!!!
We are going to the Rick and Bubba Show September 29th. We are supposed to be on there during the 7 a.m. hour having Rick and Bubba predict the sex. It should be a hoot please don't miss it.
They are on 100.3 The River here in the Tennessee Valley. If you don't live around here check their website http://www.rickandbubba.com/ to find the station they're on in your area. They are on the radio all over the Southeast and Alaska (where Governor Sarah Palin is from).
I'll try posting some pictures soon of my growing belly-yes it's growing like crazy!
BTW- for those of you wondering-I'm 5 months and in my 22nd week, almost 6 months.
Peace Out and Rock-A-Bye-Baby!
