Doctor appt today!!!

.
Well today we went to another doctor appt today at 9;30 this morning. I get soo nervous before my doct appts that i feel like i need to use tha bathroom or i need to throw up. But this appt went really really good!! I had an ultrasound first and the baby was 3 times the size it was 2 weeks ago, its absolutely amazing what our female bodies can do. Anyways, they did all the measuring and she asked us if we wanted to know what the gender was and of course we said yes. We werent sure they would be able to tell because im only 16 weeks but the anatomy was there. There was definitely some junk in between the legs, which means.... its a boy!! we are so excited! Bryce went with us and got to see the baby on the screen and couldnt believe that was the baby in my tummy. But then we had to tell the dreaded news to Bailee who was very insistent on it being a girl. so we picked her up from school and had Bryce tell her, she of course didnt believe him and we had to tell her it was true. So her response was, " well, mommy when you have the next baby then that one can be a girl." So I guess she's not gonna give up on the idea of having a sister. We are gonna name him Lincoln so its fun to know and be able to call him his name and say he or him and not it or baby. Everything else in the ultrasound went great and theres no complications at this time. I go again in 3 weeks for my big ultrasound where they actually measure the legs and arms and check the face and head. we are extatic that everything is going so awesome, any prayers or thoughts that anyone has had for us is truly a blessing and we are very grateful

Bailee's first day of first grade!!

Well today was the first day of school for Bailee. She was not too excited last night when we would talk about it but she was excited to pick out the first outfit(of course)! So this morning mike left for work at 5:30am and he saw that she was already awake!! holy cow she was gonna be tired today.So the kids came and got me about 6:10 and we started our fun day. I could tell she was a lot more excited today to go to school. She actually let me take some cute pictures of her and she even posed for them. Last year for kindergarten she wanted nothing to do with taking pictures or even talking about school the first day. So this was a nice change. I definetley missed her today but the house did stay so much quieter with only Bryce and going to walmart this morning was a peice of cake when you only have one kid asking for toys!! haha Of course i counted the time to go pick her up and was so excited to see her at the end of the day. She said she really likes her teacher and she even made some new friends but she didnt know their names! we are so proud of her and cant wait to see her grow this year.


ps. She started piano lessons last week and is doing pretty good with them. And I started lessons too. I figured I wouldnt be able to help her if I didnt know how to play at least a little bit, its pretty fun to learn something new.

Meet the teacher

I know its been a while since i've posted. On thursday night bailee and I went to meet her teacher. She had been talking about it allllllllllll day, so we finally got to go and it was exciting because this year now that she will be a first grader, she gets to have her own desk! Im sure it makes her feel like a big girl because she gets to actually take her own crayons and pencils and a box to keep it in and she doesnt have to share with everyone at the table like in kindergarten. So I think it will be a fun year for her and I cant wait to see her progress this year. She like hers teacher alot and as much as she says she doesnt want to go to school on monday, I think she is actually excited deep down inside. We love you Bailee and mommy is gonna miss you while you are gone all day.
