So very sad...

I just read on one of my friends blogs that Steven Curtis Chapman lost his daughter last night in a car accident. This is so sad. Please pray for his family as they go threw this trying time of loss. I couldn't imagine going through such a thing.

kicking...

So I have for sure been feeling the baby move around! It is really cool, although at 3 in the morning when I am trying to go back to sleep after having had to go to the bathroom, it can be kind of annoying. But I like that I can know that I am feeling Ian move. (Oh, I don't think I had mentioned the name of our little one yet! Well he will be Ian Clark). Also, Justin was able to feel the kicking last night! I was so glad! I think it has made our little one all the more real now. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. Justin has been so great and has gone to everyone of my appointments! Perhaps there will come a time when he won't be able to, but I am so glad that he wants to come to them! He is so great. :)

A 9 year olds lesson...

So on Thursday it was my niece's birthday. I can't believe she is 9 years old! Anyway, I didn't get to call her until after 8pm, at which point I didn't know if it would be past or getting close to her bed time. It turns out she was awake and would have to call me back. So in the mean time Justin and I went to Walmart. Once we were there Kylie called me back and we talked about what she would be doing for her birthday, you know the typical bday conversation. Then I told her that if we weren't in Walmart I would sing Happy Birthday to her, but I was afraid that all the people would look at me funny. (I was kind of joking and kind of serious). She in turn says "Who cares what they think, screw them!" It was a lesson that I know her parents have been trying to teach for a while, that it doesn't matter what others think. Well I sure did learn a lesson from her! So right in the middle of Walmart I broke out into Happy Birthday, and Justin joined along too! And do you know what? Not one person looked at me funny, although I think the whole entire Walmart heard me sing it!

Well not much to say this week. I am still so excited about having a boy! It has made this pregnancy so much more real finding out what we are having. Now we can refer to the baby as him or he! I think of our sweet little boy all the time! Who will he look like? Who will he sound like? Will he be a genius like his dad or perhaps he will be more of a hands on learner like mommy. Oh I can't wait to see him and hold him in my arms! What an amazing little blessing baby's are.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have the best husband in world! He got me a "happy mother to be" card for mothers day and also gave me a CD that I have been wanting for a while. And he wrote in the card some pretty special things, which means a lot because he is usually just a name signer, which is fine, but when I read the card I almost cried. I love him so much! He is going to be such a great dad.

Our little one is a....

BOY!!!!!! So for all 14 of you that voted for a boy you were correct! We are so excited and can't wait to hold our little boy. Justin's parents were able to be here for the ultra sound and then took us shopping this afternoon for some cute baby boy clothes!

today is the day!!!!!!!

It is early in the morning on May 7th and I can't sleep. I had a dream that we over slept so I can't go back to sleep now. Plus my allergies are going strong this morning so that is keeping me awake too. Well today is the big ultra sound!!!!!! I can't wait to see our little one! Of course it would be great is he/she cooperated and kicked those legs open so we could know if he/she is a he or a she! I will write again later today to post what we are having!

3 days and counting!!!!!!!!!

Ok, the title is all I really wanted to share! Oh, by the way I am now officially 19 weeks pregnant! At week 20 I will be half way there!
