IT'S A........

GIRL!! We were excited to have THE ultrasound today! We had a time trying to get the baby in the correct position so we could see. She was trying to be a lady and keep her legs crossed. :) John calls her Thumper because she is such a wiggle worm. We are very excited to be able to refer to it as a her from now on.

The envelope please....

Surprise!!!

The prediction list.

Belly Diaries Part 2

Lots of fun news to report over the last few weeks. November 30th is THE day that we find out what our little one will be. We have had lots of predictions over the past few weeks. So far the predictions have turned out about 50/50. Peter Perzanowski requested a boy during his visit this weekend so he could drive him on the tractor. :)
I felt the baby start moving last week and discovered the baby really likes hot chocolate. Belly flops and karate chops after a steaming cup of hot chocolate let me know that the baby is going to be a fan. I also heard that craving sweet things means a girl while sour cravings mean a boy. Not so helpful when my favorite foods are chocolate milk, pickles, and pizza. Where does pizza fit in?
John finally got to feel the baby move the other morning. He was all smiles knowing that the baby was finally "acknowledging him."
We are VERY excited about finding out and promise to let everyone know ASAP.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween party with our friends and were extremely excited about our Halloween costume! John made his hat out of a Macy's bag and was nice enough to spray paint my box white. My excuse for getting out of the painting was the old I'm preggo line. :) I really don't know what I will do when I can't use that excuse anymore.

The oven and the bread maker!

Lucy dressed up as a Christmas gift. The outfit lasted long enough to snap the picture. Her original costume was a witch, but she ate the hat.

The girls using their fortune teller powers to predict the gender of the baby with the belly as the magic ball. Charley Gail predicted a boy while Elizabeth said girl. Really helpful girls. :)
