"lets get a silver bullet trailer, and have a baby boy. i'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys."

If you know where that line comes from, you are okay in my book. I'm still pinching myself in knowing that we are going to be having a baby boy! Before we knew what we were having I swore up and down all I wanted was another girl. Everyone else in both families wanted a boy. Especially Stephen. The clothes are sweeter, Dakota could easily share a room with another girl, and I already know about girls! Ever since finding out though, all I've been thinking about is having a tiny version of my husband. That thought makes my heart so full and happy. I feel like I will get to see what Stephen was like as a child with our son, and that excites me. I may not be able to make him dresses, but you better believe that I will make every bowtie he will ever wear! We've had his name picked out since before we had Dakota, and I can't wait to share it. Until then....a BOY!

OH BABY!

Hi there! Long time no see (uh, type?) When I logged into blogger this morning it reminded me my last post was like 48 days ago, I honestly can't believe that! I guess all that matters is I'm here now, right? ;) 

Speaking of being here.....I am sitting here right now, in front of my computer in all of my 18.5 week glory biting down the nails I just painted because today is the day Stephen and I find out if baby is a gent or lady. I wish I could find an adjective that properly described my joy and excitement, but I even checked a thesaurus and nothing will do! Both of our moms are coming, as well as my sister-in-law and it's just going to be that much more fun with them there. When we found out Dakota was a girl, immediately after the appointment we drove over to Target and filled up our buggy with little pink onesies and baby soft blankets. So, you better believe that we will keep that tradition going. I can't wait! 

If you don't mind, say a quick prayer, chant, send a good though or posi. vibe our way that the appointment goes great and baby is looking healthy! I've been measuring a week smaller than I should be, so here's to hoping baby has had a growth spurt! Also, I have no inkling to weather it's a boy or girl, but both of our families are hoping for a boy, ha! What do you think, lady or gent? 

WHILE I WAS OUT

So you may or may not have noticed my absence lately. This is partly, okay mostly, why! We've been a little busy making and growing a baby. And while I have a whole post planned to talk about everything, I will say that I have been feeling pretty lousy this time around and the last thing I want to do is sit down a write a blog post. I'm actually 10 weeks today, so as I near the end of my first trimester I hope (and pray) that all of my less than stellar feelings will turn around into some amazing energy and inspiration. Plus, Fall is almost here so there is that! Until then, thanks for sending emails and still commenting and being supportive without knowing why I wasn't around. Stephen and I are beyond excited to be planning for another baby!
