It's a Boy!! :)

We had our sono this am and it was confirmed that we are having a little boy. Our sonographer had guessed that it would be a boy at our last appointment and she was correct! We couldn't be more thrilled! We have not really been worried about what we were having but it's fun to know! Sach's mom and his neice went to the sono with us. Maddy is 4 and was wondering how we were going to be able to see pictures of the baby. She had a great time during the sonogram and kept us all laughing. Our little nugget is measuring 17 weeks 6 days and is about 7 ounces. Super tiny but growing so fast! I guess that never stops from here on out until they're about 18 or so.

We did the walk thru on our house today. I was hoping we were going to be able to get out of painting but not the case. Painting is going to be in our near future. :/ 2 more days and we will officially be homeowners!! We are a little nervous but very excited! Lots of work to be done but I can't wait for more space!

Lots going on!!

This weekend we traveled to Dallas for my mom's wedding reception. My mom and Johnny T were married in Mexico in July and had a little reception on Sunday. Sach and I took advantage of the trip to look at furniture for our new house and also made a trip to the state fair. Johnny T has been going to the fair for 56 years and was shocked to hear we had never been. We had so much fun! We visited the Tom Landry exibit and I definitely recommed it if you are visiting the fair this year, expecially if you are a big football fan. Sach and I are used to the San Angelo carnival and were very excited to be going to the "real" thing! Of course we had to get a picture with "Big Tex" to make it official!

Mom and me :)

I won a chicken hat and let Johnny T wear it!

Sach and Johnny made some friends :)

This year at the State Fair you get in free if you dress like "Big Tex." Johnny T has his outfit ready to go for when he goes back with his buddy. (They have a ritual of visiting the fair together.)

On Sunday we went to the wedding reception for a little bit. We got to see some family that we usually don't get to see. It was held at my mom's church, which is huge and beautiful. I didn't really get good pictures of the reception but it was very beautiful and there were very yummy finger foods.

We left early to rush home just in time to make it to my dad's first "Chamber Singers" concert. It was awesome! I meant to take my camera in to record some of it but totally forgot in our rush to get there. Dad looked handsome in his tux and the music was beautiful!

Tomorrow is our doctor's appointment to find out what we are having!!!!! I'm stoked! I have continued to feel great. My clothes are definitely getting tighter and I have a little belly, not quite noticably preggo yet though. So there will be an update soon with the news of the babe.

On Thursday this week we close on our house! My landlord called last week and told us we had to be out by Friday, (ahhhh!). So we are crazily packing and trying to move boxes to my dad's garage. My dad is a saint for letting us use his garage space and also letting us stay at his house while Sach finishes the floors in the new house before we move in. We are super stoked to be moving into our house finally!! So I have to get back to packing!!

Surviving the first trimester......check

The last 3 months have flown by! It's hard to believe that I am through the first trimester. I have had a very blessed pregnancy so far and have had no sickness. Sach kept asking, "Are you sure you're pregnant?" and I really didn't know because I wasn't getting sick, like everyone else I knew did. But I'm not complaining! :) I had all the other symptoms though including being EXTREMELY tired! I'm finally getting my energy back, which makes work alot easier.
We had our 2nd sonogram yesterday and the little nugget is "perfect." He/she was very active! Our sonographer took a guess at what sex the nugget would be but I'm going to wait to post the sex until the next sono (even though she is rarely wrong). :) Needless to say Sach and I are super stoked! We have a few names that we like but agreeing on a name is really hard. Whatever we decide will be perfect for our little nugget.

My aunt Sherry lent me some pregnancy books from when she was preggo with my little cousin (who's about to be 21). The pictures were WAY more graphic back then! Sach was flipping pages pretty fast! My favorite book she gave me has been a comic book titled "David, We're PREGNANT!" It's by one of my favorite cartoonists, Lynn Johnston. She writes the "For Better or For Worse" comic strip. I have included a page that pretty much sums up how I'm feeling these days.


I'll be including some others in later posts. They are pretty funny! I am so ready to look pregnant and not like I've eaten one too many chili dogs. :) I've been so worried about gaining too much weight but I should have known God would be good to me. I've only gained 5 lbs so far (even though I feel like I've gained 20!). My clothes are starting to get a little tighter and I can just forget about a belt! I can't wait to shop for some new clothes!!

We have begun packing for our move. We still have a month but I figure a little here and there may make it easier in the end. We bought the tile for our new house yesterday! I can't wait! Tile is heavy! I attempted to help Sach unload it (he told me not to) and boy was that a mistake. I ended up dropping a box on my foot and now have a beautiful bruise. Lesson learned. Listen to my husband!
