21 Weeks

Things have been going great!
Kevin, Megan, and I are having a lot of fun together.
We are soaking in all the family time we have just the 3 of us... but also really eager to see our new little guy too.
Things have been going pretty smooth so far.
From the looks of things on the sonogram... this little boy is moving, flipping, and kicking around like crazy... but I don't feel it nearly as much as Megan. (She was a real bruser).
I'm sure he will make up for lost time soon enough.
Now that Megan's room is coming together...
I'm starting to think about the nursery.
I'm pretty sure it will have a plane or two in there.
We are still working on the names.
We've both lost a few favorites... but are tossing around 4 names we both like. Hopefully we'll make a decision soon. We'll keep you updated.

Can you say RAG - A - MUFFIN?

(In the words of a 1 yr old...)

"one mi-mi"... "two mi-mies"

How do you take away a girls best friend?
This is our girl on a typical morning... messy hair... PJ's... and a mi-mi or 2!

Not much can compete with a mi-mi!

Going through a purse is a close second!
She loves any make up bag!!!!
"What do you think of this color?"

"How does this look?"

I think we have room for improvement...

"This one is my favorite!"

"I'm pretty good with lip-liner!"
(only this is actually eye-liner)

"now I'm going to wipe my pacifier in my hair a few more times!"

(We have no idea why she loves wiping it on everything... gross... especially her hair... and Ruger's hair too!)

"... a BIG milestone in the Birkett home..."

Spring has arrived!
It's definitely Megan's BIG day!
We couldn't have asked for things to go any better.
She is officially taking her first nap in her big girl bed!
You know me... I always give the long version.
Here are some pics of whats been goin' on today.

... waking up from her LAST nap in her crib... Friday afternoon!

"Bye-Bye crib"

... last time waking up in her crib this morning.
Gammie and I sang her her "Goodmorning little sunshine" song... and pulled her out for the last time.
She was playing peek-a-boo through the slats!

The BIG event...
Daddy and Megan started taking apart the bed bright and early this morning. She was so excited to help out with the tools (loves playing with Daddy's tools)... that is until he actually took it apart.... and she cried a little. I think she was starting to get the whole idea. She was thinking... where the heck is all my furniture going?

She quickly got over it... when Daddy let her put it back together in "brother's" room.
"I think this piece should go here Daddy"

She loves the screwdriver! She's actually pretty handy with the tools!

She was watching every move... the delivery men made.
We sat outside and watched them unload the "BIG blue truck".
When they left she said... "bye-bye two men"!
I didn't know she new who "men" were.

we tried to stay out of the way while the brought in all the new furniture. She had a ball playing peek-a-boo around the oak tree... until she grabbed a hold of the huge glob of dripping sap on the tree behind her. (what a mess)

She ran straight into her bedroom... and climbed onto her new mattress!
She loved it!
She kept saying "night night."
She had to keep climbing up between Kev and I trying to put the mattress pad and sheets on. Now the big question... "will she stay in it long enough to sleep?"

This is her tree... finally completed!!!!
I started painting it for her in the fall... and didn't get around to putting leaves on it till just now.
Just in time for spring!
I painted Kevin and my initials in the trunk...
and she points to it saying "Mommy - Daddy - tree".
It was nice to finally see some furniture in there.

The furniture turned out great! We love it... thanks to Nana and B-pa!
They bought her big girl bed for her birthday (next month)... and the armoire for a very early Christmas present... since it was being delivered together.

"Here's Megan's BIG GIRL bed!"
I love the rug we found on a whim at target. It matched the tree perfectly.

Hooray! check out my new "crib"... "I'm a BIG girl now!"
Megan is very greatful... "Thanks Nana and B-pa"

Surprise!! I guessed wrong... It's definitely a BOY!

Well... Megan got to see the "baby movie" this morning. Kevin and I brought her to our 20 week check up today... and baby Birkett made HIS first DVD debut. She watched some of it... but also sat on Daddy's lap... wondered around the room... and ate snacks. She did great... but thought that my tummy had a "boo-boo" when the technician was doing the sonogram.

We got tons of pictures... but unfortunately my camera didn't want to take a picture of a picture very clearly today. Here is a shot of his little face. (so here are just a few) He was a busy little sucker. He was constantly moving... crossing his legs... putting his hands over his face... in his mouth... and flipping over.

Ta-Da! Kevin was playing with Megan when the technician said "and those are HIS BOY parts"... he didn't hear her at all. He was surprised too! Well... it's gonna take some getting use to... Megan is ALL girl... and I'm not familiar with these particular parts. Now it's time to really think of BOY names.
