a little late, but better than never...



Sorry, I've slacked a bit, but I do have news! Drum roll please.....It's a BOY! That's right! We're having a little man! We're planning on naming him Mason Dale, Dale after my grandpa. We were totally suprised (we had convinced ourselves it was a girl), but we're very happy! He must have been tired of all that "I feel like it's a girl" talk because he was VERY CLEAR to show that he was ALL boy! Haha! I don't have a scanner on hand, so I can't post any ultrasound pics, but trust me, he is looking very cute! Ultrasounds are amazing! I never one could see so much using basically echo-location! We saw everything! His heart and it's four chambers, his nose and mouth, eye sockets, fingers and toes, spine, kidenys, everything! It was so incredible! What an experience! We really enjoyed it, I've watched the video over and over again, it's just so amazing, it's like a sneak peek! Another more recent development, boy does he wiggle! I'm thinking he's going to be quite the sportsman! (Yes, we've already discussed which sports we are going to enroll him in when he's old enough! Tee ball, soccer, etc! Yay!) He's kicking right now, as a matter of fact, he must know I'm talking about him! :) Lately, we've been spending a lot of time online and in store checking out cribs, strollers, swings, all things baby! We haven't started registering yet, but I have started a list of the bigger things that I want! Who would have thought, I mean I knew having babies wasn't cheap, but what suprises me it just how much stuff like there furniture costs! Wow! Overwhelming, much?! Luckily, we both have awesome parents who have offered to help us with a few items! What would we do without them? I know...we'd be BrOkE with lots of debt! HAHA! Well, I guess that's life, right? It's all part of it and we're excited for what's to come! So I've had so different cravings recently...reallllly into broccoli with lemon juice squeezed onto it! But if I can't get my hands(or my fork) on broccoli I just eat any kind of steamed veggie with lemon juice on it! SO yummy! I think that's about all you've been missing these last couple weeks that I slacked! I can't believe I'm 22 weeks, it's going so fast! I get more antsy with every passing day! I can't wait to see what he looks like, learn about his personality, it's all going to be so fun! Thank you Lord for this beautiful and fun gift! I'm loving every minute of it! Well...until later :)
