It's a bloomin' Miracle

In reference to the title NO I am not talking about us expecting a little something in July. Though that truly is a miracle. It's a miracle that I actually remembered HOW to post on this blog since I haven't done it in forever.

After a recent conversation with Miss April May I think I made to clarify something so I don't get ripped out by anyone.  When we went in for our first UltraSound back in January, they told us to come back on February 6th (Happy Birthday Brans!) to find out what the sex is.

Please ignore my chubby face and double chin.

Needless to say we were horribly excited and literally had a countdown.  Now some of you may be saying "Now wait a sec the 6th was on Wednesday and those Northerners didn't say anything..." Before you start throwing rotten tomatoes at us, let me explain.

I would love this on a dark wood cabinet just without
 Winnie the Pooh at the bottom I don't really care who said it. 

We were already to go and had told just about everyone we know that we were finding out on the 6th.  On Wednesday we were heading to Logan a little bit later than we had originally planned and so I called ahead to let the hospital know we would be a wee-bit late. In conversation they asked us what we were coming in for and I told them to find out the sex of the baby.  The nurse pulled up my information and informed me I was only 18 weeks along (funny enough I already knew that one). I waited not quite sure where she was heading with this. She continued and told me, we would have to come back in when I was 20 weeks along because apparently that's when they measure all of the little gremlins organs and such and usually tell us the sex of the baby... I laughed it off on the phone told her no worries and re-scheduled for the 21 at 9 am. Once I got off the phone I told Zack the news and we were kinda glum about it for a while, but we went to Logan anyways shopped around a bit, and completely avoided the baby section. (Mostly because I was really looking forward to buying the baby's first set of shoes and now didn't know what color to get.)

We are however, starting our collection of baby supplies.  What we have so far...

-Hiking Back Pack (thanks Autum and Mark!)
-Crib (Thanks Autum and Mark!)
-An assortment of baby lotion, powder, wash, and diaper wipes.
-A bundle of cute blankets (THANKS MOM!)
- Blessing Blanket

Things we are looking for:
-High Chair (preferably one like Ty and April have because I like that one.)
- A Bumbo
- Life Jacket ( I was already informed by Zack that our little one will be on the boat a few months after it is  born because everyone knows the best water is in early fall.)
-Boats.

DISCLAIMER: Clothes will one day be added to this list, but I refuse to look till I know what we are having.

In other news I'm actually starting to look like a pregnant lady and not someone who has just gained weight. I'm at 19 weeks as of tomorrow and have gained 7 pounds (Which I'm pretty sure Dr. Horsley will give me a hard time about when we see him next week).  I have also started my intense study of pregnancy and stuff I should probably know about being pregnant and the baby. I even have an app on my phone which sends me random information everyday (I know Midge, I know you don't have to say it) A few of the things I have read completely terrify me, and some things I just can't wait for! The little gremlin has started to move around a bit, but not enough for Zack to feel it. A few things it has found recently my bladder, abdomen, and sciatic nerve. The last one is not much fun, if i'm not being careful it will knock me to my knees which isn't a bad place to be when you are pregnant.

A few of the things I love as of late:

I love this! Letto posted if on Facebook not to long ago and I like it,
just not the huge ol' flowers I don't like them to much.

This is one Air found. Yes please, I would take blue or yellow. I'm easy. 

You can't have a baby live by a lake and not have a picture of a whale. I don't need the dresser just that cute whale.

Midge posted this FOREVER ago.  Seriously, I love this.  The babe is all snuggled and warm and you don't have to worry about the face being covered. I think this is a good one.
