Time is passing

I really felt that I should update...but I just haven't had pics or time to do it! I started to feel the baby move finally ( I have been hoping I could feel him since week 16 (thinking if I was lucky), or 17, then I thought for sure 18, but that came and went along with week 19 and 20.) So there I was day 1 of my 21st week (which was Sunday) and I finally felt him move knowing it was him!) Woohoo. So exciting.

Well, unfortunately I don't have any pics of me at 19 or 20 weeks to share with you...but I am hoping to convince my photographer to snap at least a half decent one of me now that I am 21 weeks and 3 days...so stay tuned...

The revealing...

This is me @ 18 Weeks

On Monday Ian and I had our ultrasound appointment to see how the baby was doing and possibly find out the sex :) So Sunday evening I was busy baking...and this is what I dropped off to our family and friends Monday night...

A plate of unidentified cupcakes and a poem that said:

 And the answer?....Blue!

That's right we are having a BOY!

(well the blue turned out more like green) ha ha. (I should have realized that's what would happen when you mix blue food coloring and yellow cake mix ...how could I forget my primary colors?..oh well you get the idea) ;)

PS. In case you were wondering how I knew to bake blue cupcakes SUNDAY night before the ultrasound....well, I didn't. Which is why I had "pink" cupcakes my work so happily devoured and teased me for on Tuesday :) lol.

Boating!...well sort of ;)

On Saturday we (Ian, his sister Jade, and I) decided to take our boat out and spend a day just relaxing on the water :) It was so nice since I can't really "go boating" yet being still early in my pregnancy. So we just went slow and then floated on the lake.  We sat on our tube, went swimming, and even tried taking the tube out behind the boat a couple of times :) I of course went really slow while on it and hung halfway in the water. ha ha! We had so much fun though and the weather was perfect!

Although, at the end of the day I was in charge of backing the boat trailer down the dock...and I wasn't very good at it. ha ha I'm pretty sure everyone was laughing at me as I fishtailed my way down! Thanks to Jade's directing I finally got it centered and we got the boat loaded okay :) I guess I need more practice for the future!

shade bathing :)

Letting go after being pulled behind the tube :)

I hope we will still be able to have ONE MORE TIME out on the boat this year. Next weekend maybe? :D

Boy or Girl?

So we go in NEXT Monday for our ultrasound and hopefully we will be able to see what our baby is! I am counting down the days! Just one week away! Any guesses on what you think it will be and a name for the gender you pick?! We want some names to start tossing around :)
