This past weekend we spent a lot of time working on Cooper's room. We even ended up doing a little Martha-esque crafting.

We had been looking for some curtains that matched our decor and kept coming up blank. So, we decided to head to Hancock Fabrics and see if we could find anything that worked for us.

We found a very cute fabric that was blue with little stars on it and the border at the bottom had little owl's sitting in trees. It really matched what we were building so we got that. I pulled out Anji's sewing machine and she created one of the panels on Sunday. It really looks great.

I used some of the excess fabric to cover light switch covers and power outlet covers so they would match. I simply used a spray adhesive and laid the fabric on and smoothed out the bumps. It's turning out pretty well.

We'll get some pictures up this weekend as I'm still waiting for some wall clings that I ordered that are supposed to be here on Thursday and we want to get the extra curtain panel up. We might be able to unveil Casa de Cooper later this week though!

As you can see, we've updated webbbaby.org to reflect our new blue view and the unveiling of the Webb Spawn's name: Cooper Alexander.

Well, we went to Window in the Womb in Southlake today to have our sonogram and to learn the gender of the baby. We learned that it's a BOY!

Many of you probably know that we were hoping for a girl, but there are absolutely no problems here as we've already shifted to boy mode. We had a short moment of "down" and then just had to readjust the images of the future that we had in our heads. No big deal at all.

We don't have a name picked out 100% yet, but we have a couple of strong possibilities and we'll let you know when we know.

Now...the Window in the Womb package included a DVD of the sonogram session which I've edited and uploaded for you guys to enjoy.

In addition to the video - we also have several still photos for your to check out. You can click on any of them to make them bigger.

We told you it was a boy. ;)

Another shot of the "junk".

Thumbsucking!

Just a quick heads up...we should know the gender on Monday if WebbSpawn cooperates and shows us his or her bits.

Here is Anji last Sunday (9.07.08) outside the Nederlander Theatre before the final lottery for the final performance of Rent.

More on the NY Weekend will be posted on Webbpage.org soon.

...and before I post the baby-gaga week 15 synopsis, I have two things to share. First, September 15th. Start counting down- that is going to be The Big Day. Pink or blue? We'll find out at 5:00 on the 15th. Second, for Mom, Jess C., and the misc. others who've asked- yes, I will post a new bump watch picture soon. Just as soon as I find something to wear that nicely shows the bump without making me look like a hippopotamus.

And on the the Week 15 synopsis from baby-gaga.com:

Fetal development in pregnancy week 15: fetus in fourth month Your nearly four-inch long gymnast is happily mobile inside your womb and if you're really lucky, you’ll notice a point when your sneezing, coughing or laughing results in a little kick here or a poke there. Still, many women don't feel anything until the 17th week or later. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means your baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! You’ve got yourself one active healthy baby! Their little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs are finally growing longer than their arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of their major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present.

And how's mom doing? Have your cheeks been rosier lately? (No, no, no-- we’re asking about your face.) Are you feeling especially radiant? This famed “glow” is brought to you courtesy of the pregnancy fairy who has waved her magical “rosy tinge wand” over you. Seriously though, your body is experiencing an increase in be aware that increased blood flow might cause your blood vessels to expand, resulting in a series of not-so-magical nosebleeds blood flow and you probably do have flushed skin and cheeks. Just be aware that increased blood flow might cause your blood vessels to expand, resulting in a series of not-so-magical nosebleeds for some women, which although perfectly normal, are a bit gory if you’ve got a day job. If you find the nosebleeds especially irritable, consider purchasing a humidifier to ward off future nose bleeds. Also, do your best to avoid irritants, such as aerosols, smoke, and dust. Even though the placenta is regulating your babe’s hormones, you are still producing additional estrogen, which often causes swelling of the mucosa membranes, leaving you with a stuffy nose—potentially throughout the duration of the pregnancy. These are just a few of the charming physical experiences you can chalk up to the pregnancy fairy!

Week 13: Farewell First Trimester...

Fetal development in pregnancy week 13:fetus in third month This is your final week in the first trimester and your little weed continues to grow and grow and grow. Of the three trimesters, this one has been the most important for your little one’s development. Assuming you’ve carefully adopted a healthy diet, continue to exercise and get ample rest, your little one is set up perfectly for even more growth and development in tri-two! Way to go! He or she now weighs about 2.5 ounces and is roughly 3.5 inches in length. Little hairs, known as lanugo, will start to cover their body this week, as their sense of taste and smell are further refined. Their cozy little amniotic sac is also increasing in size and mass as it continues to fill with more fluid.

And how's mom doing? Congratulations on a successful first trimester! A lot has happened (and there’s a lot more to come). You should be proud of your hard work and sacrifice. Giving up lattes, soda, and wine is not easy. Even if you snuck in a few of these goodies over the past 13 weeks, don’t dwell on it—there’s a lot The good news is some fashion designers are realizing that being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t look sharp, sexy, sporty, or whatever your particular style might be to look forward to! Besides, now is the perfect time to rededicate yourself if you have had a few lapses. Remember, every day and decision is an opportunity to improve your eating and exercise habits—your baby and your body will thank you in the long run.

If you’re the planning type, you can celebrate the beginning of your next trimester by purchasing some choice maternity clothing to fit your elegantly evolving new shape. The good news is some fashion designers are realizing that being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t look sharp, sexy, sporty, or whatever your particular style might be. Cruise the online stores for a preview of the range of fashion out there for pregnant women—even if the local shops are still stuck in the nineties, you can always hit up some chi-chi online store based out of NYC! If you’d rather wait a few more weeks (until you really start to show) before making any purchases, then get ready to dig out your sweat pants, over-sized t-shirts, and any other comfy loose fitting clothes you’ve got at your disposal. At the very least, just unbutton that top button on those pants that still “almost fit”. Come on, you’re pregnant! This is definitely not the time to suffer for fashion.

We have now had a 2nd person confirm to us that our baby is extremely active and squirmy. I watched as they were doing the sonogram and it was amusing how much movement and turning there was.

The head is on the left side of the picture and you can actually see the kid with it's hand on it's head. We'd love to hear your thoughts on what that means.

We're split between "Hang Loose" and "Stop Poking Me!" ;)

This one is pretty much just baby chillin'.

New pictures of beh beh and an update later this afternoon. I promise this time. ;)
