We are coming close to the third trimester! Only 105 more days to go (give or take when little man decides to make his arrival) We have decided on a name!! Liam Ryan Buttke :) We love it, we kept looking but kept coming back to Liam so it stuck. Little Liam :) A few weeks ago I had a doctors appointment for my blood pressure and It was good, it went down thankfully :) I have started working out to what to expect when you are expecting.. The dvd is amazing!! Something for everyone!

| before my work out don't mind my socks lol |
So we had a doctor's appointment yesterday! We had to go for another ultrasound because last time little Liam would not cooperate! He was laying all cuddled up on his belly... well what do you think he was doing yesterday?? The same thing! This little boy likes to stay up very late at night and sleep during the day so they once again could not get all the necessary measurements they need! So I have to go to the hospital next Friday at 230 in Hartford for a level 2 ultrasound, I am pretty sure they will be able to get all my measurements! The U/S tech i had yesterday at my doctors office sucked! The doctor I saw yesterday said "my weight was excellent" I didn't gain any weight from the last time I was there so that is good. My stomach seems to be growing she measured my bump at 25 cm and we got to hear Liam's heartbeat he was in the high140s-150s. My blood pressure was great and Liam is almost 2 lbs.... they are usually 1.5 lbs right now and he is bigger so I am nervous for delivery lol I am hoping he is not more then 8lbs!! He has a few more months to grow so we shall see.... Next sunday we have our 3d/4d ultrasound appointment... we are so excited about it!! My bestie Jessica bought us 2 sessions because she is the nicest person in the world! I babysat her daughter 2 days (which was no big deal at all) and she wanted to get me that to say thank you. I think it was wayyyy to much but we are definitely appreciative of it! My mom and Dan's parents went in on our nursery furniture!! We got a crib (that changes into a full size bed) a dresser, a changing table dresser and a glider with an ontaman for under 1000$ i searched around and found a great deal online! It's already at my moms house so we are siked! Cross one thing off our list and we are so thankful to our parents for buying it! Here are some pictures

That is another we did was register for the baby.... god was that a stressful process!!! This little boy needs to many things, so overwhelming! After 3 hours at babies r us, a few corrections online, another visit to babies r us i think we are done registering for now ! Dan registered for a diaper bag for himself, I am waiting for this online website coach factory outlet to put their diaper bags on sale so I can get one! My friend Krystal got hers from there and i love it!!
