Quick update

21 weeks
Well I'm actually 22 weeks today but I haven't taken a picture yet so here is last weeks for everyone to see! This week I went back to the perinatologist to get blood drawn so they can run some tests which we'll find out the results from at the beginning of April.
2 good news things! Eric got a job!!!! We're so excited and I am so proud of him! And my friend Kristin gave birth to a beautiful baby boy today!!
That's all for now! Have a great weekend!!

20 weeks - half way there!

Today Eric and I went in for our third ultrasound and we were so excited because today we were going to get to find out if it's a boy or a girl!

will it be a boy or a girl??
I'm guessing boy!
all ready for the ultrasound!
When we got to our appointment we told the doctor that we didn't want to know if it was a boy or a girl. We said we wanted him to write it on a piece of paper and put it in a sealed envelope because later we were going out to dinner and we were going to have the gender revealed to us through our dessert! My friend Erica suggested going to get cheesecake and having the server put blueberries on it for a boy or strawberries for a girl and since cheesecake sounded really, really good to me I thought it was a great idea! So after the appointment I went home and packed (cause we're moving at the end of the month) and Eric went to my parent's house to help with a construction project. I was so anxious all day sitting next to that envelope - I just wanted to tear it open and find out!!
getting ready to leave for dinner - here's our envelope!
if you're going for cheesecake you must go to the best!
We tried to eat our dinner at a normal pace but I'm pretty sure I was eating super fast cause I just wanted to get to dessert! We decided that we just wanted a piece of the raspberry lemon cheesecake so we told our server about the envelope and asked if she could write on the plate "It's a boy" or "It's a girl" - she was really sweet and super excited to be able to share in our big moment! We were sitting on pins and needles waiting for her to come back with the cheesecake...
IT'S A BOY!!!
we are so excited!!
yay for a boy!!!
we couldn't be happier!
So we're having a baby boy in July!! We are super excited!
