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

We had our ultrasound this last Thursday. I was nervous about going because I wanted to make sure everything was okay with our baby and I was worried that it would be shy and not reveal its gender. Well.....everything is perfect, but...our baby was very shy...or as the ultrasound tech would say, stubborn. After 45 minutes and some poking and prodding, the ultrasound tech said she was only 60% sure. She had me go to the bathroom and then do some moving around(aka jumping jacks, stretching) anything that would maybe persuade our child to uncross its cute little legs(which was so cute in the ultrasound pics, but makes it extremely hard to tell the gender.) When I came back, they were still crossed, but now at the ankle instead of so tightly. We finally found out that we are having a GIRL! We are both excited and very glad that everything was perfect. The ultrasound was so cool, you can actually see the shape of the face and everything. Here's a picture for you all to enjoy! I forgot to say how we told our families. It was Patrick's idea and I think it was really cute. We got some pink balloons filled with helium, and put them in a huge box. Then we had some other pink stuff in the box as well-pink frosted cookies(yummy). That way, when our families opened the box, pink balloons flew out everywhere. It was really fun, and both families are extremely excited:)

And then there were three!

So, a few nights ago I was cleaning out some boxes in our spare room and found a picture of me from the my first day in this world. Well...Patrick and I started thinking about what our children were going to look like and I wanted to see some pictures of Patrick when he was born. His mom promptly emailed me some:) We have been comparing ourselves as babies for a while and have found quite a few differences....or so I thought:) I was 7lbs 14oz and he was 6lbs 1oz. I had lots of dark hair, and he always said he had none. We both agree that we were very cute babies. Here are a couple pictures.

PatrickLook at all his hair. He always told me he didn't have any, I talked to his mom and she said he had quite a bit, which you can see from the picture, but ended up losing a lot of it. So handsome!

Don't I just have some really cute chubby cheeks...even on my first day. I will have to get some pictures of about a year later...lets just say I am pretty sure I had rolls on my rolls. Look at all my hair. It just keeps getting lighter every year, but once, I did start out with dark brown hair:) So cute!

I thought it was very appropriate to find this picture right now, because we have been wondering how to make our exciting announcement! That's right. A cute little boy or girl will be joining our family on June 15....or close to that day at least:)
