New Car!!

So, Todd and I got a new car this weekend!! It's a gorgeous Cadillac CTS. I am so thrilled. It's a big upgrade from my Dodge Stratus, that's for sure. I think baby T will look so much cooler in a caddy. ;-) We go back to the doctor on Monday, and as always, I'm really excited to see the little man. Yes, we've thought of names, but we don't want to settle on one name until later. I have a few in mind that I really like and there are only a couple boy names that Todd and I have actually agreed on. So...I've got some convincing to do. haha!

I have been feeling baby more and more everyday. It's usually when I'm laying down or sitting still (which during the day, I'm never sitting still!!) It feels almost like I'm having a weird muscle spasm in my tummy (sounds bad, but it's amazing). Hopefully I will get to post some better sonogram pics after Monday, but here are the latest belly pics. Todd and I want to send out Christmas cards (a little late, I know), but we keep forgetting to ask people to take a pic of us when they come over. Oh well, we will just send out cards extra late and then maybe the belly will be more impressive by then. I know it's obvious I'm pregnant now because I have strangers making comments like, "oh, so you're having a baby?" or my favorite so far was at the movie theatre when TWO different people asked me, "Would you like a pickle to go with the popcorn? I know you want one!!" HAHA! Typical craving stereotype. I only wanted pickles once and now the thought of them makes me kind of nauseated. :) Happy Holidays to all!!

Almost half way through!

It's always hard going back to work after a long break, but this week surprisingly flew by! Christmas break will be here before I know it! :) So, we're about 20 weeks into the pregnancy which is halfway through. It's hard to believe it's already getting so close. Today, a friend of mine (Rita) gave little Todd Junior the cutest blanket, pillow, and little baby tube! It makes me really excited to get baby gifts and to image our little one wrapped up in the little blankey that Rita sewed. :) I also had someone at work today (who didn't know I was pregnant), ask me, "Are you expecting?!" It's kind of a relief that my belly is looking more like a pregnant belly than a layer of winter fat. :) hehe! Here's is the latest belly pic. Todd got home from Mexico today (he was gone all week), and was laughing at my stomach while saying, "It's really getting big!" Wait until I'm 38 weeks and blown up like a whale...then we'll see if he's laughing about it. ;-) I also posted a pic of the A&M tree I decorated last night. I am quite proud. The picture doesn't do it any justice (and  it looks a bit crooked in the pic). :)

It's a....BOY!!!!

Well, it's officially a BOY! :) We were convinced it was a girl, so we were very surprised! I even had to change my blog background because I had it all pinked-out. :) I think it will be great to have an older brother for my little girl (hopefully one day, there will be a little girl). I made the decision that if our next baby is a boy too, we'll just have to try a third time. Too bad Todd doesn't know about this yet. ;-)  I will have to post the new sono. pics as soon as I take some from my phone. He wouldn't turn on his back, so we didn't get any good profile pics of the little man, but we got some great pics of the "goods." :) HAHAHA! He will be so embarrassed to learn that his man parts were the talk of 2009 Thanksgiving and that his first outfit is a little pink dress from his Nanny (that's how confident Karen was that it was a girl!). I recently read my first blog on here (and the list of things we have to accomplish), and it makes me laugh. This summer opened our eyes to how badly we both wanted a family, and our list was pretty much put on the backburner. We are so extremely blessed, and our little man is already opening our eyes to a  new, exciting life that awaits us.  I can't wait to meet him. :)
