We're Seeing Lots of ...

PINK and smocked dresses in our future!! We could not be more excited. More than anything, we are super excited about how healthy our little one is. The ultrasound technician was awesome; very personable and informational (not really a word in this context, but go with it!) about what we were seeing and what he was doing. Technology these days is pretty sweet ... he took about 60-70 pictures for different doctors to check over, and I feel like we've seen sweet girl from every possible angle at this point. Although the tech. isn't supposed to give "results," he said that she looks super healthy and was pleased with her cooperation today!

We go to our doctor next week to hear the results/have another appointment. Although I've known that there is a baby inside me for the last 20(ish) weeks, everything became much more real this afternoon. Now, more than ever, I cannot wait to meet her and plan for her, and just enjoy this time. I know it will go by quickly, but at times it seems to creep by.

Stay tuned for a "belly" update. I just started to pop out at the end of last week ... I do have to say, it's super fun!

We're Taking Bets

Tomorrow (Monday) is the big day!! We find out if our baby is a boy or girl Monday afternoon, and we could not be more excited! Tyler and I are praying that the baby is still moving and grooving in there, and that (s)he lets us know what it is. We'll keep you posted on what it is, but until then, place your "bet" and let us know what you think it is! Happy Monday.

May Mix 2011

Yesterday a package from my sister arrived in the mail. I knew that she was sending me the most recent Chi Rho CD, and it was wonderful, but upon opening the package there was a CD entitled "May Mix 2011." Honestly, without my sister, my music selection would be the size of a small pea...it is sad. She has most certainly always been more "up" on entertainment news and sweet tunes. I am so thankful for her fun mixes and I have many that live in my car now. Isn't it fun to put in a CD sometimes and just kind of go old school with entertainment?

Anyway. She had told me recently of the song "That's What Soldiers Do," and you guessed it ... she included it on the mix. The song is a sweet story of a conversation a dad would have with his son about going to war. The song ends with telling his son how he is a soldier too, that he needs to stand strong in Jesus and go to war for Him. It is the least cheesy, most heart-filling soldier song I've heard in a while. Click the video below to listen.
