The Pregnancy cake I made the night before we found out what we were having. My first time ever to use fondant. 

BoY oR gIrL??

After coming back from McMinnville the next day ( February 13 th 2012) we had our appointment to see whether we were having a Boy or a Girl.. We were really anxious and excited to see what we would be having so that we could order all of our baby furniture and things for our little one!! It was at 9:00 that morning at the Grande Rhonde hospital! We were really excited and couldn't wait. We then went and saw our baby, the person doing our ultrasound finally said your baby really wants you to know that he is a BOY!! Alex didn't think he heard her right and then said really its a boy!! haha. We really wanted to have a boy first but tried to convince ourselves that it was most likely a girl.. So we were so excited when she said that. So fun. He is a really active baby and loves to move all the time!! Especially right when mommy is ready for bed he then thinks its his playtime. We enjoy feeling him and watching his every move :) He was flipping a lot in the ultrasound that it took awhile to get all the things that our Doctor needed. The tech was so nice just to let us watch him. We all just laughed. Everytime she tried to put the thing on him he would try to push it with his hand or kick it off of him! I am glad at times she would just stop and say just watch him and enjoy and she really took a lot of time with us so we could just see him.. Loved it!!

20 Weeks

We were in McMinnville with all of my family when we hit our half way mark of being pregnant. My sister Bonnie took my 20 week pictures for me. From being so sick I don't really even look pregnant but we tried different angles so that my little bump would show :) This same day we found out that my brother Tommy and his wife Jess are expecting twins!! We are all so excited for them and love that they are so close together, it will be so fun to watch our babies grow up along side each other!! Also Alex's sister and sister in law are both expecting and are a month (ish) ahead of us. So tis the season for babies!!

Our first Ultrasound Nov. 29 th 2011

Expecting our little one!!

Alex and I always wanted to start our family right away, and we always felt like it would happen sooner than later.. We found out in the middle of October that we were expecting. We were so anxious waiting for our pregnancy test to come and then when it was positive I think we were both just a little shocked. We had our first Appointment on November 29 th 2011. We met our doctor for the first time, Dr. Knight which we instantly fell in love with. She is from the South and has the good southern values that we love. She made us feel so special and like it was the first time she had ever done this! She got excited along with us and just made it amazing. It was such a sacred experience to see our little one for the first time. What an emotional visit. Alex just sat there and kept wiping the tears off of his cheeks.. We enjoyed just watching our little baby and seeing that he measured right and everything. So fun to know that this child will be ours forever. That night we went out to celebrate at Dairy Queen we had fun talking about what it will be like to be parents. We then went for a long drive and just enjoyed being together and being able to experience together the sweetness of life.
