It's A . . . .

Yes, Today was a good day! John and I were able to find out what sex our baby is. John thought is was a girl, I thought it was a boy. We really did not care what we were having. We are excited no matter what, just a healthy baby.
Well, it's a BOY! We are so excited. It is crazy to think that we KNOW what we are having, time to get planning and get buying all the stuff for little baby taylor. Even though my belly is growing bigger by the day, its crazy to grasp that the baby that we saw up on the screen today is in my belly!
We loved getting the ultrasound and watching baby move, and see of of it's vital parts. Baby is healthy and was moving around a lot. When baby was relaxing and semi-still he would cross his ankles with his legs stretched out. So cute.
After the ultrasound we went out to celebrate we bought baby his first set of little soft receiving blankets, and then we enjoyed a yummy mexican lunch out.
Now I will bore most everyone with a few (not all) of the ultrasound pics!
There is no denying that he is a BOY!
I know he is hunched over but check out those legs. Those are definitely John's long legs!

Going Home

Going home always brings great memories to mind and I look forward to every chance I have to go home for a quick visit. This last week I was able to be home in Arizona with not only my parents but my sister and her boys. I did not want to come back to Buffalo. I always have so much fun when I am down there with family. I can't wait until I can BE home for good. While enjoying the warm days and sunshine we were able to spend our time doing many things we love. We went shopping, I bought a few maternity items, because while down there, I realized that my "normal" jeans do NOT button any longer. TIme to move to my looser clothes or maternity, I guess. I picked out a stroller and car seat set that I want, and a diaper bag that I love. ( I know I already have my cute petunia, but maybe i need two. . .). We loved eating out at all our favorite restaurants, and just spending time together. I love my cute little nephews and we had fun with them going out to the tempe splash park, an indoor amusement park, and swimming in the backyard!

Enjoying the pool time with grandpa.
It was definitely great for my dad to have both of his girls home with him for father's day. We relaxed on Father's day, spending it with the greatest dad ever! (And missing our wonderful husbands).
Relaxing with my boys on fathers day.
I am sure it was a tough trip for him to handle having two pregnant girls in the house, and hormones flying. It was a quick trip but well worth it. THanks Mom for flying me down!!
Cute little Jackson showing off his juice mustache.
Going home was not only spent with family, but gaining two new toys! We have been in the market recently and two great deals came up that we snagged! One a little Nikon D40x which we are excited to learn all about to take cute pictures of our little baby.

And an Imac which will be wonderful since my little laptop is getting old. We love our new toys, and from now on John is grounded from Craigslist, only crib searching allowed!

Well, upon returning from 110 DRY warm arizona (which is so much nicer than 80 and HUMID here), Buffalo welcomed me home with 50 degree weather in June!!
Arizona is calling me back so soon.

17 weeks. . . .

Okay so here is the latest picture of baby and me! I know I am only and I have quite the belly to show!

I know I have been the worst blogger, I don't know what is wrong with me but I am struggling with taking pictures and updating the blog.
Anyway, a quick recap of our lives the past few weeks.
JOhn is DONE with his second year and spring extension. He successfully just finished his first root canal in the clinic. Now it is time to study for the boards he will be taking later this summer.
I am have been enjoying many outings with the girls! We have so much fun together.
I have been busy with work and school, and have been working a lot of the maternity floor with the mothers and babies. I have been feeling great! I have felt the baby move and I feel like my belly is stretching each day!
One last important thing! I am going to Arizona this Wednesday!! Yeah, I am so excited to go home and spend some time with the family and of course shop, talk, and eat!!
