The results are in!!!!!

Today Alvin and I went to our ultrasound appointment. We saw that we are having a baby BOY!!!!!! We are so excited:) We are due at the end of April. Now when I go to a baby store and see a cute boy's outfit I can buy it. The anticipation has been killing us and now we can splurge on Tonka trucks and remote control cars. Hurray!!!!!

It's starting to look like Christmas

My wonderful sister came by to help Alvin and I set up our Christmas tree. I am very excited because this is the first tree I have ever actually owned. I'm having issues with my back because the pregnancy is releasing relaxin into my body causing ligaments to get really loose in my lower back, creating so much pain, However, the chiropractor has helped out so much:) I appreciated Natalia's help bunches in getting the ornaments on the tree and picking stuff off the floor. Here are some pics of our tree and Lucy with the tree. Lucy is my sister's dog.

1st comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the BABY in the baby carriage:)

So after getting married in June and going to Florida for our honeymoon in July (AKA sweaty moon) we got pregnant in August. So fast, right? Well I was told by four different doctors that it was going to be very difficult for me to get pregnant. After a while I seriously thought I was sterile. Well... I'm not:) It was such a scary and pleasant surprise. Looking back I wish I would have done something more cutesy in telling my mom I was preggers. She has wanted a grandchild for such a long time. Instead, she received a frantic phone call from me at 6:00am, asking her what the chances were of scoring a false positive on a pregnancy test. It is still so surreal for us. I'm in my 17th week and I think I'm feeling flutters. When we went to Seattle in October I thought for sure I had felt the baby move. I turned in bed and landed on my stomach and I felt a weird fluttery sensation, but I now think it was could have been gas but I'm still not sure. We find out what we are having on Dec. 8th. I'll keep you posted:)
