It's a BOY!!!

We are so excited to announce that our baby is a sweet little boy!!!  It has been so fun to find out and get to share it with everyone.  I had my ultrasound yesterday at almost 19 weeks and baby boy looked healthy and happy.  :)  He was moving around like crazy, but I still can't feel anything.  We're both excited about having a boy and it was fun to get to go to lunch with Matt after the ultrasound to celebrate.

I highly recommend "finding out".  The first half of pregnancy is far from glamorous and doesn't always feel very rewarding, so having a reward half-way through is so much fun!

We took cupcakes with blue sprinkles to our church community group last night to share the news.  :)



Now we have the daunting task of deciding on a name... I hope we can decide soon!

big news!!!

Although this might be old news to some by now, I feel the need to officially document on the blog that        
WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!

Matt and I are so so so excited for the arrival of our little one in June.  What a blessing from God!

Baby seems to be doing great so far, and pregnancy hasn't been too bad. :)  I was only nauseous for about a month and now I feel pretty normal (17 weeks in!).

This is how we told my family at Thanksgiving ... (did you see the idea for "thankfulness rolls" on Pinterest?)


And this is how we told Matt's parents a couple weeks before Christmas.

Apparently I like to use yummy carbohydrates when sharing about life-changing events.  :)

Here is Baby Whinery at 9 weeks: 

And now, what you've all been waiting for...  belly shots.  

13 weeks (nada enchilada)


14 weeks with curious puppies (Jake & his bff Drake)


15 weeks in Vail for New Year's!
                (not really a belly photo, but we didn't coax Jake to sit and look at the camera, so I love how this turned out)  ;)


17 weeks (visiting my new nephew in Dallas!)

Hopefully I'll be back to the blog now that I have something so exciting to blog about!!   We should find out in about 1.5 weeks if it's a boy or a girl!!
