22 Weeks

This weekend marked the 22 week point in our journey to meet Baby Boy Keyes. We're more than half way!! Things are slowing coming together. Here's the update on a few things I've been working on (as well as this weeks pic):

Cleaning Out Baby's Room
I've made progress on cleaning out the junk that's in what used to be our spare room (now the baby's room). I've reorganized some things, and I've thrown some things out (I might have been a little hasty when I did this as I have already had a few regrets :-).) The problem is the room is now fuller than ever because I have boxes and boxes of baby clothes from my sister (Tina) and Carla. I'm pumped to have the clothes, but holy cow where am I going to put it all!?!?!?

The Shop (i.e. cleaning out the baby's room cont...)
As some of you may know, Jason is going to build a new shop, which will ultimately lead to more storage space out of the baby's room (really Mandy space to be honest). There has been much talk of this alleged shop, and this weekend Jason and some friends made some progress.

The old shop has been demolished!!! Jason hopes to have all the rubble out of the yard by the weekend.

Registries

We are officially registered at two of three places on our list. Jason went with me for one, and I ventured out to do the second by myself yesterday while he demoed the old shop. One more stop and we're good to go. Carla is going to go with me to spot number three, so that will be a fun lunch trip!

Photography

I've officially scheduled my maternity picture shoot for the end of October! Jason and I hope to come away with some great shots of us (including my huge belly) and maybe even some fall leaves. I've also officially booked a newborn photographer for the week Baby Boy Keyes arrives. SO EXCITING!

Decor

I mentioned last week that the fabric for bedding has been purchased (check!) Now have five letters for my alphabet wall! Only 21 to go!! :-) Katie first showed me a picture of this concept, and I loved it. Here are sample pics of what I have in mind.

If you have suggestions of where I might find just about any size/shape of letter, let me know.

I realize this is probably enough information for more than one post, but there it is just the same. I'll keep you posted on any new developments. Perhaps someday soon we'll have a name!
