It's a BOY!!

Well for those of you who didn't know, I am pregnant :) Derek and I just went to the doctor today and found out that IT'S A HEALTHY BOY! We are so excited! Now comes the daunting task of picking out a name.... but lots of fun shopping for the little squirt. It was kind of funny because the doctor was trying to get the baby to move around, and said he hadn't had such a stubborn baby in a long time (I must admit- I was proud of the little guy for holding his own). I think he's taking after my flexibility from the dancing days as his feet were up by his head in a pike position most of the time! Anyways, I wanted to post a few of the pictures- first of the head and arm and then a picture of proof that he is all boy!


















It was perfect timing though, as I went to the mailbox after our appointment and found a cute note from Mom with some maternity/baby shopping money :) as well as the sweetest card from Meriel and hilariously funny napkis! Thanks Meriel- you're the best! I also called one of my best friends from High School today to tell her the news, and she let me know that she just got back from Paris where she got engaged!!! ...on top of the Eiffel Tower! C'est parfait! Anyways, life is hectic for us right now with work and church callings, and of course the baby on our mind! But we are so blessed to find out that everything so far is good and healthy with the little one. Now it's time to buckle down and start reading baby-care books and getting all of our gear. If anyone has any advice on brands, gear, books, etc... I'd love to hear it!!! I'm sure future posts will get a little more specific as I start to narrow down the competition.

That card is hilarious! Perfect for the BOY! Yippee! I love my 3 girls but oh man...my little guy Jack Jack is my HEART! And he LOVES me best too (unlike the girls who are ALL Daddy's). This one's mine. I am so excited for you both. What an adventure. Can't wait to meet him. Keep us posted (because we just LOOOOOVE getting news from Dallin all the way in Brazil...NOT)!

Congrats! That is so much fun! Isn't so fun to see the little guy and watch him move? Amazing,no? Keep posting, I love it!

congrats! i can't wait to see what he looks like! if you want baby gear advice...my favorite stoller for the first baby is a carseat carrier (we have the one made by kolcraft and love it...i still use it for my 2nd baby girl)....but it's super light weight, great turning ability, a huge basket and fits just about any carseat...then we were able to get a really great regular stroller when hannah grew out of the carseat. good luck with the baby shopping and the names!

That card is so funny... CONRATS on having a boy! Our second cousin babies will have to play when you're in the area. :) (And when yours is out of the womb, obviously.)

Congratulations! I love boys! Trucks, trains, dirt, cars, balls, so easily entertained!

Kate said...

Boys are so fun! I think the what to expect books are really good... I still look at mine from time to time. And Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Baby by Mark Weissbluth is one of my all time favorites. What an exciting time for you two (and soon to be three!)

Britt! Thank you so much for your cute comment on my blog! I wish I could have seen you when you were in town. I am SO excited for you and your pregnancy. I had no idea you were pregnant until I talked to your mom just a couple of weeks ago. CONGRATULATIONS!! Little boys are SO much fun. I hope you are feeling well and that the pregnancy continues to go well. Please keep in touch!!

Brittany!!! I heard about you being pregnant from your family at home. Congratulations! That is so exciting. I know.. even I can't believe that I'm married, it will be a year this October and I still classify myself as a very very newlywed. I love the pictures of your family-your niece and nephews are adorable!! I'm sure you are as obsessed with yours, as I am with mine. I think I may love my nephews as much as I will my own children. ha. Any way, it was so good to hear from you and I will definitely be hitting up your blog from now on. I'm still getting the hang of mine...
