brief update

Sorry as usual I couldn't really think of a catchy title, but I'm going to touch on a few subjects so this is suitable enough.

First, we have definitely gotten used to the idea that we are going to have a daughter! I said to Chris the other night that we only have four months of just us because after she comes there will be years of always having a child or children around, which I'm totally okay with. I have started to feel her kicking, moving or whatever it is she's doing in there and I can't really explain how it feels, but it's kinda neat. I'm sure in a month or two when she's kicking my ribs and it's hurting I won't think it's so neat.

Second, HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!! I have been listening to 98.7 all day at work which isn't unusual but they are doing a salute to veterans and the stories are really touching. It amazes me that people actually give up their lives to serve our country while so many people take their freedom for granted. I'm not going to rant on about how selfish and stupid people are when they make their military remarks or even take the everyday freedoms we have for granted, but just remember that someone, somewhere gave their life for what you have today. I'm extremely proud of my husband for joining the Army and proud of the fact that he has stayed in so long when I see the things he puts up with everyday, no matter how bad our office jobs can be they never compare.

Lastly, we have our Christmas tree up and decorated and it makes my little heart so happy! I absolutely love Christmas and the whole Christmas season and decided last week to put up our tree and we finally decorated it last night. It looks great in our living room because our angel isn't banging her head into the ceiling anymore. Maybe I will actually remember to take a picture of it and post soon. For now enjoy the photo I found on the internet.

no more it


We found out Friday that we are going to have a little girl! :) As much as Chris had warmed me up to the idea of having a little boy I secretly was hoping that I would have a girl. Don't get me wrong I would be just as happy to have a little boy, but now I definitely have someones hair to do and lots of pink to put her in! We also went and registered on Friday after we were pleasantly surprised, so you can now view my registry at Babies R Us, although I'm making numerous changes daily.
I will leave you with these two ultrasound pictures, enjoy! Okay I lied, I'm only posting one because they are small and I can't fix them.
