It's a.........

GIRL!!! Yes, we are going to be having a girl! We are very excited. We had our ultrasound on Tuesday, and everything went well. They checked her heart, spine, limbs, brain, etc., and everything looked great. That was the best news. And, of course, we wanted to know if it was a boy or girl. I can't handle the suspense. She was clearly a girl. I had given her a pep talk before we went, because I didn't want her to be shy. I told her we would stay there until we knew, so I guess she decided it was easier to go along with it than to try to hide. We had a little group of people there with us: of course Jason and Cameron, my mom, all 4 sisters, and my brother. My two nieces were there as well. We asked some people before hand what they thought it would be, and it was close. There were a few more guesses for girl than boy, but it was pretty even. Jason's family sent roses to the doctor's office for me since they couldn't be there. They are my favorite color, orange, and they are beautiful. It was such a fun surprise to have them waiting there for me. We now have to add a little pink to the nursery and start shopping for little girl stuff. We are very happy that she will be here in a few months.

I am attaching a couple pictures from the ultrasound. They are pictures of her face. The first one, she's kinda on the side, and the second one she's up and down.

And here's a picture of my flowers

Baby info websites

So, I know there are a couple of you that are also expecting babies, so I thought I would list a couple of websites that I enjoy looking at. Both of these websites include helpful information along with week-by-week progress of how the baby is developing and what is happening with you. I like to check every week to see what is happening.

5 days left until our ultrasound!!!!!!

It's About Time, I know.....

Yeah, so I know I'm a huge slacker. What can I say? Three months is too long to not update my blog? Well, I am sure I can come up with a good reason why. Holidays, work, a 2 year old. Take your pick. Ok, the #1 reason I am going to use is that I am pregnant. Yes, it's true, and we are so excited! I am now over 19 weeks along. Our due date is June 19th. It's gone by so fast. I am doing well. I wasn't nearly as sick as I was with Cameron. I have had some morning sickness (throwing up once a day in the morning) but it's starting to get better. We have gone to a few doctor appointments, and things seem to be going well with the baby too. We are going to have our next ultrasound on February 3rd, and yes, we are going to find out if we are having a boy or girl. No, I do not have an inkling of whether it's a girl or boy, and no, I don't have a preference. (those are 2 questions I am frequently asked.) We are just praying for a happy, healthy baby.

We are trying to get Cameron used to the idea of another baby. He will be about 2 1/2 years old when the baby is born. We have been working on potty training too. We hope to only have one baby in diapers at a time. He is getting big and independent, and I know he will be a good big brother.

I am going to attach a picture of our first ultrasound (done at about 10 weeks. You can't see much, but it's more than just a speck. More like a sour patch kid.) I will post the other pics on the 3rd.

I am also going to attach a couple pictures of Cameron with Santa, since I have slacked lately. These pics were taken at the hospital where Jason works. Cameron fell asleep after waiting for about 1/2 hour for Santa, but it's probably better that way. He likes pictures of Santa, but wasn't a big fan of seeing him up close this year. Maybe next year...

The party goods are here!

If you ordered any Scentsy candles or Usborne books at my party, your stuff has arrived. Let me know when's a good time to bring it to you! Thanks again for coming to my party!!!

Good Books

I thought I would share with you the new book series that I am reading. It's by Scott Westerfeld. The first book is called Uglies. It is about a futuristic place where people are raised to believe they are ugly until they turn 16, at which time they have surgery to become "pretty." The surgery is a total overhaul, making your face symmetrical, your eyes bigger, cheek and chin implants, the works. The series is about a girl named Tally that tries to escape the city to find her friend that lives in a "rebel camp" where people stay ugly. It is a really good book. I have finished it, and I am reading the second book in the series called Pretties. There are a couple more books in the series, Specials and Extras along with a reference book. I recommend them to anyone who likes reading. I read someone's review that said it's "a sci-fi book for people who don't like sci-fi." I couldn't agree more!
