IT'S A BOY!!!

We had our 15 week appointment today and they were able to see the sex of the baby and my feelings were right...it's a BOY!! He wouldn't hold still for very long but we got to see his little hands and feet squirming around in there.
Here's his alien face.
And this is the "boy area" she could see, I couldn't tell!
Larin and I just got back from our visit in Idaho. Larin and Ryan, our brother-in-law, went hunting. I got to stay in town and catch up with family and friends, but being pregnant I missed Sunday family dinner and spent it curled up on the bathroom floor. Oh the joys of parenthood! I got to see all my nieces and nephews which was nice, they are all getting so big! And a special thanks needs to be given to my sister-in-law Rachel for the maternity pants she let me borrow, I tried to stuff myself into my regular pants and it is soooo not worth it, these things are AMAZINGLY comfortable! This last picture is of our little miss Suzie, she had to sit on Larin's lap and decided to try and drive, it was scary.

Baby On Board

I am starting this blog to keep in contact with my friends and family as our little family grows. Larin and I decided it was time to add some wee ones to the mix! I was late and took a few pregnancy tests which came up faintly positive so we set up a doctors appointment and the blood test came back negative! So we put it at the back of our minds and continued on with life until a week later when I got extremely sick at work. Larin came and picked me up since I was feeling too sick to drive and what do you know, it turns out I was pregnant! I took a digital test and there it was written out PREGNANT!! So once again we set up a blood test and this time it agreed, there definitely was a bun in the oven.A few weeks later I started having bad pains in my stomach and since it was Saturday we ran to the hospital just to be sure the baby was okay. It turned out I was sick but the baby was fine and Larin and I got to see the baby jumping around in there!
It was so weird to finally see an actual little baby in there, another week later we went to the doctor for our first check-up and got to see the baby once again, and learned we are due April 9th, 2009!!! We find out on Oct. 15th what we are having.
