I really don't have any excuses other than i'm lazy and i'm not a big blogger so keeping you up to date or lack there of is my fault. SORRY :) So since my last post we came up with a name CHANNING RAYNE so i'm excited about that. My goal was to know both boy and girl names before finding out the sex but my hubby wasn't agreeing with me much on the boy names I likes to Channing it is.

I'm definitely feeling pregnant now. The belly is getting in the way and good gravy could I make anymore trips to the restroom to pee. Geez! It's ok though all for a good cause. No real cravings just trying to eat as healthy as possible. Luckily I am still heartburn and acid reflux free for the time being. Kage was a different story but i'm not complaining at all. :)

I have pretty much taken care of all the necessities I will need for the nursery, crib, changing table, decor, painting and my wonderful grandmother is making me a custom crib bumper that I can't wait to see when it's finished. Here is a few simi finished nursery photos:

 The theme is Teal/White/Gray. I have a few wall decals to put up. There will be a decal over his crib that will have his name and one over the changing table that is a quote. "ONLY YOU KNOW THE SOUND OF MY LOVE FOR ONLY YOU FELT MY HEART BEAT FROM INSIDE" I will post the finished nursery pictures soon!

MARCH 17, 2012

Sorry i've been a little behind in keeping up with my blog. So to catch everyone up on what's been happening in the Bowen household.

I recently reached a very rough milestone in my life, on March 15th I turned 30! Nothing says your getting old like the number 30. I really had a tough time with it and i'm still in denial about it but nothing I can do to stop time so it is what it is.

On another note to brighten up my day on my Birthday I decided to get an early peak at the gender of our new bundle of joy. So I had an appointment at a Ultrasound Imaging place in Charlotte at 12:30pm. Dana and I met for lunch and headed to my appointment. When we got to the room it didn't even seem like the ultrasound tech had been waving the wand around on my belly for no more than a minute before she says "Well I think I already see what your having" and my instant thought at that moment was well there must be something poking out for her to see that fast, but we proceeded to check the face, body and overall growth of our baby. Which everything looked healthy and where it should be at this stage. So then we get to the good stuff, we are now looking for the goods. By this time Baby is being a little shy and keeping it's legs together and ankles crossed so we jiggled it around a bit and eventually Baby said "Fine if you want to see it that bad....HERE YOU GO!!!" So as my husband would say he saw 2 beans and a frank...LOL. We are having another little BOY!!! All the while I could not help but think to myself how much I really wanted a baby girl. Although I know I am much more prepared for another boy than I am a girl since I saved all of Kage's stuff.  But GOD knew I only wanted two kids and it was his plan for me to have two handsome boys, so I feel blessed and proud to be a momma of two boys.

 Just to clarify the ultrasound technician informed me that boy have a turtle (see the shell and the head sticking out where the arrow is???) and girls have hamburgers. I thought that analogy was weird but true.
