Louisiana Visit

We traveled down to see Josh's family for memorial day weekend and meet our newest niece and nephew. Alex Justice was welcomed into the world in March by Josh's brother Jeff and his wife HeeJin. In April, Josh's brother Jacob and his wife Ashley welcomed baby girl Aleyna to the world. There are now 4 grandchildren in the Justice clan and our little one will make 5. It was great to spend a long weekend with the family and meet the little ones!

Nursery in Progress

The walls are painted and the nursery furniture arrived this past weekend. I love how the wall color turned out - it is so cheerful! I can't help but wander in the nursery to sit down and wonder what our little boy will be like.

We still have a lot to like put things on the wall, put the shelves on the book shelf, put up blinds (we bought the wrong size), etc... Here is a work in progress of the nursery!

This is the MOST COMFORTABLE glider/recliner chair ever!

Half Way There!

Wow - I can't believe I am to the half way point! I hope the next half flies by like the first. We can't wait to meet our baby boy.

He was not cooperating to get too many good photos during the sonogram but here are a few. The most important thing is all the measurements look great and he looks perfectly healthy. We will keep saying our prayers every single night for a healthy baby.

It's a Boy!

Wow! I knew it. I was sure from the beginning it was a boy. I grew up with one sister and all girl cousins. I don't have much experience with little boys. I guess I will learn as I go. Now that I know the sex, it all feels so much more real. I can't wait to start decorating the nursery and picking out things for the baby. Let the shopping begin!

Nursery Furniture

We went out to Baby 2 Teen in Manassas this weekend to order baby furniture. The staff was incredibly helpful and educated us on how to look for good quality furniture, etc. I went out there with my mind set on a different furniture set by Munire but ended up going with Pali. It was so exciting being in that store! I am getting more and more excited and am just DYING to find out the sex of our baby! We are going to find out the sex on April 30th (less than 2 weeks away!). There is a place in Fairfax where you can pay $100 bucks to see the baby in 4d and find out the sex early. Ugh, I am counting down the days!

We also got a book case and a glider chair but I can't seem to find a photo online. It reclines and will be upholstered in a light tan microfiber with white piping around the edges.

Bun in the Oven

We are excited to announce the arrival of Baby Justice in early to mid October!

It has been a long time since I have posted a blog entry. Honestly, for the last few months I have not had anything to blog about that wasn't pregnancy related. I have been absolutely exhausted and have spent every weekend on the couch in front of the tv.

I found out I was pregnant the week after Josh's 30th. I had been feeling a little off and decided to take a pregnancy test on Josh's actual birthday. The test came up negative but the next week I was still feeling a little weird. I took another test and another and another and all said POSITIVE! I was shocked - I don't know why but I was. I guess the whole parenthood thing scared me for the first week or so after finding out. However, after a week, I began to get really excited. We are so excited to find out the sex and are counting down the days!
