BOY!!!!!!

 

I went to my final appointment with my doctor in Alabama before we move to Texas and we did a "sneak a peek" ultrasound. I got to FaceTime with Z and we both got to see our son! I can't believe we are having a boy! We are over the moon excited!! We are all girls in our family so to have a boy just makes this pregnancy that much more special! A is SO excited! She has been saying it's a baby brother the whole time! We haven't picked a name yet... It's SO hard to agree on a name! I am still shocked and speechless! I just keep repeating "Oh my gosh I'm having a boy" over and over! We are all excited to welcome a baby brother in November! This little boy is going to be more spoiled than A and her 2 girl cousins combined!!!

 

Mother's Day 2013

Every year I'm reminded that I am blessed with a healthy beautiful little girl! I'm so grateful God chose me to be her mommy.. and that he chose me to be this little boy or girl growing in my belly's mommy also! I hated to not have the husband around but A and I got to enjoy Mother's Day with my parents.

My mom, A, and I Mothers Day 2013

 

A was dedicated at my church on Mother's Day. We were sad that daddy wasn't there to celebrate, but he was definitely there in spirits...and we recorded it so he will get to watch it later. 

A and I before church

 



After church, we went and ate lunch and then home for a nap. After nap, I decided we needed to go and enjoy the afternoon. I texted my friend, and we met up with her and her son, who A calls her boyfriend, and we went and played at the Splash Pad at our mall.

She loves her boyfriend!

 

Today, A and I got presents in the mail from daddy... My wonderful husband got me this beautiful necklace. He designed it himself.. from a picture I painted him at the beginning of his deployment. I LOVE it!!! It's perfect!!! 

 

 

 

Overall, I had wonderful Mother's Day and I'm so blessed to be the mommy of the most beautiful little girl and my son/daughter in my belly! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!!!

 

FYI... Next Tuesday we should find out if baby Mays is a boy or girl!!! Can't wait!!!! 8 Days!!!

Best moment in the last week? We went last Friday 4/26 to see my friend who is an ultrasound tech. Baby Mays had the hiccups and it was jumping up and down.. it was so neat to see such a little miracle do all of these cute little things

Looking Forward To? I have my next appointment this Friday. I'm excited to hear the heartbeat again and see about a gender scan in 3 weeks!

 

We have started packing everything in the house and are getting ready to put my parents house on the market and move them and ourselves to Texas. Z will be home in about 10 weeks so we are going to go ahead and move over there and get the house put together before he comes home. We are very excited and ready for June so we can move. We are going to miss all of our family and friends here in Alabama, but are excited to move on to the next chapter in our lives.
