So this pregnancy is slowly moving along. I have reached the 6 month mark with virtually no changes. Still down about 26 lbs, I "gained" 1 lb so far, but technically I didn't since the baby now weighs 1 lb. The baby is also about 8 inches long at this point. No real baby bump to speak of, but I think it is on its way. My meals are becoming smaller than before and I get full quicker. The Dr thinks I should have the traditional baby bump by May. Let's hope so, since I scheduled my maternity shoot for May!
We are almost done on the nursery at this point. We have all of the major furniture items (minus the glider and ottoman which are currently on their way from the states). We just need to take the last couple boxes out of the room and move our suitcases and we are pretty much set. Then it is just time to decorate, which we hope to do soon. Thought you would all enjoy the photo evidence of Matt putting together the crib (with a little help from Hoagie :) )
P.S. We have also received the first gifts off of our registry thanks to The Maldas and Diana & Ryan.

| Terry cloth bath robe from the Maldas, our lil bean can look like a shark at bath time :) |

| Me modeling the robe |
 |
| Awesome bags the gifts came in from amazon.. this one was also from the Maldas, an extra base for our car seat so we can put it in Matts car. |
 |
| Matt starting to assemble the crib, we ordered everything white since we didn't know what we were having when we ordered it :) |
 |
| Some of the other baby furniture, a dresser that will be used as a changing station and his very own armoire |
 |
| The crib is getting there! This is basically what the crib will look like when it is converted to a toddler bed. The mattress can be lowered and their is a safety rail |
 |
| Hoagie came up to supervise |
 |
| What is all this stuff Mom? |
 |
| Matt is almost done! |
 |
| Final product. The crib is done, with the mattress inserted with a crib sheet. The beautiful baby blanket was made by Grandma Perrone and baby boy kowalski has some friends to keep him company :) |
