Pink or Blue?






Today was a day I have waited for since I found out we were going to have another baby. Today was the day we got to find out if it is a boy or a girl. The ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to find out the sex of the baby and I blurted out "Yes!" The first look she pointed out that the cord was inbetween the baby's legs, but just a second later we had a clear view. The baby was all over the place, so we got to see a few different times a clear view of the baby's boy parts. That's right, BOY! It is, as you will see, clear as can be. We are so excited to have a little boy! He was quite the mover. He was rolling and switching positions the whole time. That made it a little difficult for the tech. She would get a perfect shot, but before she could freeze frame it he would move again. It was so fun! The ultrasound took about 45 minutes, so we got to see him from every angle. I loved it!

So, a boy!!! I am so excited to add a little boy to the family. Chant needs another male in the house. I had a feeling that it was a boy and I have even bought a few little shirts and pairs of pants. It was just perfect to really know. Now we are thinking about paint colors. I would rather not have my little boy's room be pink ;) I have been scattered all day because it is all I can think about. A BOY!!!

So, family reactions. My mother literally screamed with joy. My dad said "Yes!" Everyone else was just as excited. Now the big debate is a name. We thought we knew what we wanted to name this baby, but I think it will take a little bit longer to decide. So, back to the drawing table. We'll let you know when we decide. We do have until June to figure it out.

We are excited and it just feels good. Now our little family will be complete. I have everything I have ever wanted. Life, it's all good!

Brinnley Beth turns 3




January 26 was the big day for Brinnley. It was a Saturday, so it was nice because we had Dad with us all day long. We didn't really do much until later in the day. We wandered through the mall for a while and then went to dinner. When we were finished eating our waiter got the attention of the entire restaurant and had them sing happy birthday. While they were singing he had Brinn wave and blow kisses. At first she was a little shy, but then she started eating it up. She was waving and smiling. It was so fun. I think she felt really special.

When we got home it was time for presents. Dad hit the jackpot when he got Brinnley an addition to the farm Ainsley got for Christmas. THey fight over the farm, so we thought that would end if they each had their own. (We were wrong.) And she loved he dress up outfit from Grandpa! She said she was a little princess. She definately got the present thing down. Open it and then on to the next one.

Last came the cake. She picked her own special Princess cake. Her and Ainsley play with the princesses every day. She helped sing happy birthday to herself. It was so cute!

My little girl is growing up! She is so sweet and I cannot wait to see her growth through this next year. My little baby is growing up!
