Well, with Mason's room that is. My wonderful mom has finished is bedding, made a changing pad cover, and cushions for the rocking chair! And it all looks great. I painted letters to hang his name on the wall and painted a shelf to go near the changing table so that I can keep things close by! So today I spent part of the day hanging letters and the shelf.
But the problem with this is that everytime I go in his room and do something, I feel the need to move things around. See right now there is alot of extra stuff. The car seat and stroller, a bouncy seat, and the bassinet are all just sitting in there. And it's in the way!! I want to put the car seat and stroller in the car so that they can get out of there, but then I thought it might be a little early for that! Especially since I have a trip (or 2) to Camp Lejeune coming up. The bassinet needs to go in my room, but once again I can't do that until Travis comes home and leaves again, because it is going to go on his side of the bed, and I don't think he wants to walk around it all the time while he is home!! So much stuff and no where to put it!! And yes I am aware that it is only going to get worse once Mason actually gets here! Until then I can fret!
I found the camera the other day, and I am going to take some pictures of his room soon, but I think there are a few more touches I want to put in the room first! Stay tuned............

Half way!!
Can you believe it? I know that I have a hard time believing that in the same amount of time I have been pregnant I could be meeting my little boy! Time seems to have flown by so far, and I have to admit that I wanted it to keep passing really quickly! 1 so I can meet Mason, I can't wait to get to hold him and just have him in our lives. To share him with the world! And 2 because they quicker we get him here, means the quicker Travis will be home and we will be a real family!
In the last few weeks I have begun to feel him move and kick. At first it was every now and then, but now I feel him everyday usually several times a day! It is still mostly when I lay down to watch tv or get on the computer (he doesn't seem to like the laptop to be on my tummy) that I feel him the most, but over the last few days I have begun to feel him a couple of times through out the day when I am up and doing something. It was the weirdest thing the other day, I was at Target with my mom, and I kind of had to pee but it wasn't bad. Until, I swear to you, he was bouncing on my bladder! I don't even know how to explain the sensation, but I am so sure thats what it was!
Everyone keeps asking for belly pictures, and I am sorry, I can't find the camera. I would love to show you my belly bump (as long as you don't mind it being covered there won't be any naked belly pics) because I am proud of it I will admit. But I just don't have a camera to take pictures with. And yes I know I need to find it, and I will. Before Travis gets home I am sure we will take lots of pictures when he is home!
Other than this, what I feel is a HUGE step in the pregnancy, there isn't a lot going on. I keep doing some small stuff for Mason's room, but until Travis gets home there isn't alot going on!
Well I am off to go search for the camera, maybe!

Go vote for a Hero
In the title of this post there will be a link that you must go to. Just click on it. If you remember almost a year ago a friend of ours, Daniel Greer, was killed in Afghanistan. Well another Marine that was deployed with him has entered a contest to design a race car. When he desgined it is in honor of Daniel and now we have to vote on it. If it whens Kasey Khane is going to drive it in a NASCAR race in August. All painted up and in tribute for Daniel!
Daniel gave his life and only seems fair that we honor him with this. As of right now he is in 2nd place. Which is amazing considering just yesterday he was in 14th! But we still have a lot of votes to go inorder to get in 1st and stay there! So please please take 2 secs and go vote for him. So when you click on the title of the post there is a small little magnifing glass, click on it and type in "GREER" it should bring up his car! You can vote once a day so keep going back to vote!

Were to start
Wow, it's been awhile! I can't believe I haven't been blogging as much as I thought I would. But I am back. The problem is, I don't have much new and interesting things to tell you about. I had another doctor appointment yesterday, which also happened to be my birthday! And we got a great report. My placenta has moved up to exactly where it is suppose to be. So I no longer have a partial previa or a low lying placenta! So no more concerns! Over the last 2 appointments they have also done the anatomy ultrasound. Which is where they do a very indepth look at his anatomy, such as his heart, brain, bladder, and tons of other things. And he is perfect! Mason is growing perfectly and measures exactly where he should be. So needless to say this was a prefect birthday present!
Although Travis wasn't here for my birthday, he did send some beautiful roses and amazing chocolate covered strawberries. Trust me they were delicous!! And there are no more left! But since he was gone, my wonderful family made up for it. They made a good dinner, followed by cake and ice cream. And some great presents. Clothes!! Not just any, maternity clothes! And they actually fit! I have a ton of maternity clothes, but none of the bottoms fit really well. So my mom and I went and tried on some shorts and I realized what it was like to have maternity clothes that actually fit me! And its wonderful.
Well, thats really been it for the last week or 2. I am now 19 weeks pregnant, which means almost half way there! Kind of hard to believe. Travis comes home for his block leave at the end of the month (should everything go the way we are told it will) so the next few weeks are going to be filled with getting ready for that! Of course I am so excited, and want to get Masons room done so Travis can see it before he leaves! And thanks to mom we are almost done! And I would love to show pictures, but the problem is I can't find the camera. Go figure right! I will find it (hopefully). So stay tuned!
