Its a Boy!

We are very excited that we will be having a little bouncing baby boy join our family in a few months. It was a lot of fun to get to see him in the ultra sound and to see how much he has grown since his first debut. I always suspected it was a boy! I wasn't surprised at all :) But we are very happy that we will have a son. I'm starting to realize now that I don't know much about boy things. Just last week I got chastised for calling a touch down a home run. So it will be an adventure! I think being the sunbeam teacher this last year to 6 little boys has helped prepare me for how adorable and rascally boys can be. I'm just glad I'm not having six little boys at once :)

Baby Bump

My first official documentation of my ever expanding waistline. Here I am at 17 weeks pregnant. I look like I just came out of the Chuch-A-Rama. Ha ha. My mother has been asking me for a picture of my belly so this one is for her! Too bad this isn't the end! Wouldn't that be nice if we only had to gain 5 pounds and give birth to a babies the size of avocados? Oh well I am happy to let my belly get bigger for Baby A. One of the funniest moments of my pregnancy was the first time I noticed I was showing. Its weird, because it was just like one day my belly poked out. I was asleep and very groggy on the couch, and pretty much out of it. Clint woke me up so I could go sleep in the bed. ( For those of you who know me, you know I can say and do very strange and often times violent things when I am woken from a slumber) Anyway, in a state of delirium, I said, "My baby HATES me!" Clint said, "What is the matter? Are you feeling nauseous? " To which I replied, "No! the baby is making me fat!" Clint, in his best attempt to reason with me, said in a very serious voice, " Honey! Listen to me! You are not getting fat. Your uterus is a muscle and it is expanding...." I think he may have continued talking scientific facts about the uterus.... Anyway I think I just looked at him like, "What in the world are you talking about?!" Clint doesn't understand that you can't reason with a woman with an expanding waistline. :)


So far the pregnancy is going ok.... except for the fact that I have pneumonia and have been sick for nearly three weeks now. Being pregnant + pneumonia is not a winning combination. But baby is growing right on schedule. Only a few more weeks and we will know if its a boy or a girl....stay tuned!
