A GIRL!

We’re having a little baby girl!

Monday’s ultrasound was so fun! She was moving around A LOT so the pictures aren’t super clear, but they are still great!

After the ultrasound, I had just finished telling the nurse that I wasn’t 100% sure I had felt the baby move yet…

Then while lying down waiting for the doctor, I felt a few jabs or kicks! I had Adam come over and put his hand on me, and he felt her too!! It was like she heard us- very exciting :)

One thing the technician and doctor noted was that my placenta is “slightly low” which means if I were to give birth right now, I may likely need a C-section. They find that in most women who have low placentas at 20 weeks. it moves up from there, so they will just monitor it again with another ultrasound in 8 weeks. So please pray that everything goes smoothly!

After finding out the news on Monday night, we called our family, posted it on facebook…

made pink cupcakes to bring to our coworkers…

and Adam went out and bought his first PINK shirt to wear to work the next day!

I think he looks terrific in pink, don’t you!?

****One thing I almost forgot to add! We saw her YAWN on the ultrasound too! It was so cute!****

finding out soon!!

My next appointment is on Monday, August 17th and we get to find out if it's a GIRL or BOY! YAY!!



So, just for fun, let's take a poll, what do you think we're having?!?! (Poll is above)
If you have any questions about my symptoms, cravings, etc to help you decide, feel free to leave a comment!

married 5 years!

Last Friday Adam and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary! On Thursday night, we decided to take a spur of the moment weekend getaway to South Haven, Michigan.

It's a cute little town on east coast of Lake Michigan which makes for awesome sunsets!!

This year, we have even more to celebrate as we await the little precious addition to our family! :)

 
One summer back in High School, I lived with my aunt and uncle in South Haven while I worked at their embroidery store and hotdog stand. It was fun going back and remembering all the sites, shops, and restaurants. Adam and I brought our bikes so we could ride into the downtown area from our hotel (only 1 mile away).

Across the street from our hotel is Sherman’s Dairy Bar, AKA the BEST ice cream we have EVER had!!!! We waited 45 minutes at 10pm on Friday for it and it was SO WORTH IT!!

And since we don’t live nearby, we had to take advantage of this delicious little find a SECOND night in a row!  (Hey- I’m eating for two, right!?) This is me holding our “baby size” (Mackinac island fudge- on the left) and “single size” (blackberry- on the right) ice cream cones!! So huge and so good!!

What a great weekend!

 

Happy Anniversary, sweetie!! I love you now more than ever!
