23 Weeks :)

Don't mind the pj's ;)

Nick and I started Comprehensive Childbirth Classes last night. It's a five week class that goes over everything from your pregnancy to labor/delivery to caring for a newborn. We got a tour of the maternity section of our hospital last night and got to see the nursery, and that was really exciting! I can't wait for the next 17 weeks to fly by and we can by in one of the rooms holding our new baby boy! There are 4 couples total in the class, so it's really small, but I like it that way. Most of the information I know already, but I think it's good for Nick and I to spend some time together focusing on the new addition.
We have agreed upon our little Prince's first name!!! ***Carter*** he still needs a middle name and we are tossing around a few, but I am so happy that we have agreed on something!
I am starting to fee fabulous again! A little tired mid-day but really good otherwise! Nick called and talked to our wedding photographer about setting up a maternity shoot, and she suggests waiting until a few weeks before our EDD, so the belly is looking it's ripest ;) I can't wait for that, it should be a lot of fun!
