Baby Nursery! (and more belly shots)

We decided to include a bunch of pictures from our putting Colby's nursery together - we have a bunch that we've taken!

I'm 28 weeks (in the 3rd trimester!) Have less than 3 months to go! Can't believe this is flying by!

Enjoy!

Big Bro Humphrey and Big Sis Mocha

Mommy (Bre) made these for Colby!

Painted this too to match his bedding

Daddy (Matt) did such a good job painting and putting the furniture together! There's a nice glider under the whale picture now...pics to come!

Some sweet lovey letters Matt wrote to Bre for their 1st wedding anniversary!

Pics at 27 weeks...13 weeks left as of this pic - baby is measuring 15 inches, 3-4 lbs already!

What's in a name?

Well, most of our family and friends know the name we have chosen for our baby boy set to "debut" in January, so we thought we'd formally announce it now, too!

Our little baby boy will be named...

Colby James Bogert

We have been talking to him and calling him that since August when we found out he was a boy! When we say "Colby James" in a funny voice, and he's in one of his "mobile" moods and moving around, he kicks continuously...so cute!

We both loved the name Colby, it is very different, easy to say and spell, and not run-of-the-mill. The middle name James was my late father's first name, and also his dad's name (my grandfather). My sister and brother's boys both have elements of my father's name too (Middle and Last). So now, it will be complete, his whole name between the three boys!

We can't wait until the winter to meet Colby!

Hiccups in my belly? :)

So...now that I can fully feel the little dude in my belly wiggle and flip and kick up a storm, I've noticed these rhythmic twitches every couple of days for about 20 minutes...sure enough, HICCUPS!

Our last ultrasound a week ago, the sonographer was trying to get the baby to sit still to get his heartbeat (145 by the way - perfect!) but he was twitching all around. She turned the screen towards Matt and I and started giggling and said..."Oh he has the hiccups!". It was so cute, seeing him hiccup on the screen. I could feel it and see my belly move every second, so now I'm quite sure what it feels like! We had to wait through his hiccups for about 10 minutes so she could get the heart rate once it stopped...hehe. He's difficult like his mommy.

This morning I was waiting for my alarm to go off for work, and laying still on my side on the bed (Humphrey the dog usually hangs out with me after Matt leaves for work). He had his head resting on my belly while I was trying to muster the energy to get up in the rain...and there he went - Baby boy started to get the hiccups! Humphrey must have felt it because he leapt up off the bed and let out a tiny yelp...saying "Uh..mom what the heck was that that moved?". So cute! Now if only "daddy" could feel them! He's never here when he gets them!

"Umm...what was that that moved?" - Humphrey Bogert

Needless to say, the litte baby in my belly gets these hiccups for about 20 minutes every couple of days, the doctor said he will probably get the hiccups often as a baby, as the pattern usually continues. She also said besides being cute and harmless, it means the baby is learning to swallow the fluid and also it means development is going REALLY well in there!

So amazing :)
