It's a.........

GIRL!!!

Our little girl is SO stubborn but VERY active. We were there for over 30 minutes before we even knew what we were having. She wiggled all over the place and kept the technician on her toes. She kept her legs and feet tightly together for the longest time. No matter how many time's the technician pressed on my belly it didn't change a thing. Finally she asked me to go to the restroom and see if that would make a difference. I was beginning to think we wouldn't be able to share the good news today of what we are having. I gave our little girl a talking to and she apparently listened. When I got back it took a few minutes but the technician proudly proclaimed she was able to get a picture. I practically squealed when she told us. The lady was only able to get one shot of her parts(but enough to know for a fact we're having a girl) and back together her legs went. I told Christopher that and he said she's already a little lady. Her heart rate was 146 bpm. She looked great. We loved watching her with those little hands all over the place. I am SO sore now from all the pushing and prodding but it was so worth it!

Grayson seemed to be very happy he was having a sister. He was a little confused as to what was going on. I know he would have been just as happy with a little brother. Nathan was over the moon. I couldn't be more in love with him than I already am. After the u/s we called/texted everyone. I would have loved to do a reveal party but our families couldn't wait. Not only that but some are out of town. Either way we're happy to finally tell everyone the wonderful news. We celebrated by getting lunch at Firehouse Subs(which is SO good) and we went back to Nathan's work to tell his boss and co-workers.

Its been a great day! Its starting to hit me that I'm going to be a mom of two. I'm still in shock that we're having a little girl. lol The drano test was right!

Tonight for Supper

We had a delicious meal tonight thanks to the Pioneer Woman.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Panini

This sandwich was absolutely delicious! My whole family enjoyed it. This sandwich is going to be put on my must have list. To save a little money I did use regular whole wheat loaf bread. We all loved it. I'll eventually try it on some french bread. When I went to the store I purchased chicken tenders instead of chicken breast. My reasoning was because it was cheaper and it saved time. I loved the ranch dressing on the sandwich. We added a thin layer on both sides of the bread but next time I plan to add a little more. We did without the mustard and I of course didn't miss it. We don't own a panini maker so I used our Hamilton Beach Grill. It worked out perfectly.

Thanks Pioneer Woman!

Thankful Thursday

1. My little boy can always make me laugh.

2. Feeling my sweet little one moving around in my belly.

3. My hubby who is my best friend and wonderful provider.

4. Knitting: It always helps me relax.

Five Question Friday

1. What ring tone do you have on your cell phone? I use the Evening Crow ringtone. It came with the phone.

2. What is your favorite memory from this summer? Playing with Grayson in the ocean at Garden City Beach. He couldn't have been happier!

3. Paper books or ebooks? Paper books all the way. There's just something about actually holding a book in your hands and flipping through the pages.

4. If you could have one home upgrade what would it be and why? I would love it if we could afford to add a room on to our house. Since we're having another baby the office will become the nursery. Nathan has to have an office and it would be so much easier if we had another room. Hopefully one day we can do it.

5. When was your first serious boyfriend/girlfriend? I've only had one serious relationship and that was with my husband. It started December 7, 2003. :)

Wordless Wednesday: "Mommy I working."

Five Question Friday

1. Did you make any fun purchases this week? I purchased some yummy truffles from Chocolate Fetish and I purchased a pretty big present for Nathan's upcoming birthday. I can't share what that is just in case he come's across this.

2. If you could go to any musical concert, what would it be? There's so many so I'll name a few Jeremy Camp, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, and Third Day.

3. What is your least fav/ most fav house chore? My least favorite is dusting(I sneeze & wheeze whenever I do) cleaning the toilet, and mopping. I liked washing Grayson's cloth diapers and putting dishes in the dishwasher.

4. Would you prefer new appliances or clothes? My appliances are still working so I'll say clothes. Now if I only had the money for said clothes.

5. Miracle Whip or Mayo? Mayo

First Ultrasound

We had a scare over the weekend but I'm happy to report we have a healthy baby. I had my first ultrasound today at 9weeks 3days. As soon as I saw the heartbeat I cried uncontrollably. The babies heartbeat ranged between 144-148 per minute. He/she danced all over the place. This baby is such a blessing.
