It's A...Boy?!

This is me after the ultrasound at our house. I am 20 weeks large and loving my bump.

SO...we went in for our ultrasound this morning. The whole way in we were saying "its a girl". And I was pretty sure it was. In fact I felt positive it was a girl. So we get into our ultrasound and start looking at our baby. Jonathan was holding my hand and we were enjoying seeing our sweet little "girl". Then we come to see the bottom of the baby. I look once...twice... I almost yell at the ultrasound technician "It that A BOY?!"

She smiled and said "Yep! It's a boy!" And let's just say I have been smiling since. Partly and mostly because I am in shock. But I am so happy. It just feels so different knowing it is a boy and not another Autumn. It will take some time to get used to. In the mean time I keep smiling.

Anyways, our boy is looking good and he is measuring big too. They said that is okay because since I delivered a 9lb baby girl I should be able to handle this one. Its a known fact that boys are in general bigger than baby girls. So am I looking at a 10 pounder bouncing baby boy in my future? It is very possible. But I will take it as long as he is healthy (it feels weird to say "he" or "him")

And Jonathan has been in La la land too thinking of his little son. We came out of that clinic with big smiles that just won't go away :) We told Autumn but she just rubs her tummy and says "Beebee" Oh well we have enough excitement for everybody. Every once in a while I have to keep peeking at the ultrasound to make sure that it is for real and I am not dreaming.

In other news

Our electricity came! Now they just have to inspect it and we will be in...maybe. Who knows anymore. But we will be in some time :)

Excited

There is so much to be excited for. Where to begin.

First, I suppose is the thought that we could be living in our house very soon. The electricity people said they are working on the power this weekend or the beginning of next week. So Jonathan and I have been moving all of our stuff into our house. The missionaries actually came and helped move the big stuff because I turn into a pansy when I am pregnant. Anyways, we are stocking our pantry and putting dishes away and baby proofing the house. Is it strange that it is music to my ears to hear Autumn whine because she can't get into something? She does like to help us put stuff away though. She sees mommy do stuff so she sure tries to mimic every thing I do. She hinders more than helps but if I can channel her energy to a positive helping energy than I figure it is worth it even if she wears me out.

Second, on monday I have my 20 week ultrasound! Am I excited? YES!!! Boy or girl? I still feel that we are having another girl. If its a boy it will take me a long while to get used to the idea. In any case I am just excited to take a peek at our growing baby and hope that it is healthy and growing good. It sure kicks pretty good sometimes :) I think Jonathan is excited too for the ultrasound. It is always the most fun appointment usually.

WEll, Autumn is ready for her nap, so I better go put her down for a couple hours.

Reno

Before we went to Reno we went and visited Matt and Jennifer. Autumn got to play with cousin Robert. They are actually being nice to each other in this picture. And the other picture is of Autumn stashing a bushel of apples away in her little car.

About Reno: It was awesome! The people were so nice and they rolled out the red carpet for us. Autumn liked to roll on it. Our booth looked good as usual, except it takes forever to put up and take down so we are going to do something different next year for the shows. Anyways we had a good time plus we got to stay and visit with Jonathan's Aunt and Uncle who were so nice to let us stay with them. We really enjoyed our last show trip this year and I am glad we ended it with the Reno Show. It was short, warm, friendly and better in every way. Anyways, we are back now. Our carpet for the house will be finished today so perhaps I can start putting stuff in the house soon. Oh, and the picture with Jonathan and Autumn next to the poo sign was at a hotel on the way back from reno. We thought it was pretty funny cuz its supposed to say "pool" not "poo". Anyways, maybe I will put up some belly shots soon because I am defiantly starting to show good now.
