It's a boy!!!!

Yesterday was an extremely long day! I was too tired to even get on the computer much once I got home. We started out by going to the OB at 10:00 am for the ultrasound. This was the big one where we got to see gender, organs and everything. I do believe it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. We found out we are having a boy, which is exactly what I wanted and I have said since day one it was a boy. The doctor said he was measuring perfect and that all organs and everything looked great. He is definitely an active little boy. He wiggled and moved the whole time we were watching him. Last week I started feeling him move around and now I know why! I have a feeling my hands are definitely going to be full once he arrives. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound.

After we left the doctor's office we went to lunch with my mom and Buck's mom. They both went with us yesterday to see the baby. After lunch, of course we did some shopping! I had to buy something. I have been holding back because I didn't really want to buy too much until I found out what I was having. I got a couple of cute outfits and some little shoes. The grandmothers went shopping too and sent us home with lots of goodies. After shopping I had an appointment with the cardiologist for a heart echo at 2:30 pm. It went by pretty quick and I haven't heard back from the doctor yet so I am not sure what the results are from that. My OB wanted it done just as a precaution because sometimes I have had a hard time catching my breath and I can get winded really easily. My OB said he feels that it is just the baby and everything is all scrunched up and that my lungs can't fully expand because there is no room in there but he wanted to make sure.

After all of that we ended up having to go back to the hospital because Buck's grandmother was on her way to the ER. She is not doing good at all and I am glad we were up there and were able to go by and see her. I don't know how much longer we will have with her so please pray for her and Buck's family.

After we left the hospital, we ran a few more errands and then came home around 6:30 pm or so. We pretty much crashed when we got home! We have a name picked out but have not fully committed to it yet but I am hoping by the end of the week we will have it definitely set. Now I really have to get busy on the house and get it ready so I can start working on the nursery!

I am too excited to sleep! Tomorrow morning we find out if we are having a boy or a girl!

More Cakes!

A couple more cakes I did last week.

This was for an 18th birthday. It is a weird view but I forgot to take pictures so this is the only on I have.

This one was for a Grand Opening of a store.

Today was my 3rd OB appointment. This one was a little more exciting. In addition to all the routine stuff I got to hear the heartbeat! Mom went with me today so she got to hear it for the first time. The heartbeat was 156 today and the doctor said that was great. Blood pressure and all was normal. I have only gained 3 more pounds so I am at 5 pounds total. I was pretty excited about that, especially since my appetite is back!

I still get sick in the mornings but I am starting to get hungry more often now! I still rely on comfort food a good bit like french fries and baked potatoes. Those have been my favorite but lately I have added cheeseburgers to the mix. I really haven't had any crazy cravings or anything but when I get hungry I have to eat right then or I get light headed. I have been getting heartburn which is not fun but the doctor gave me some new medicine that I have to take daily that is hopefully going to take care of it.

We go back in two weeks and get to have the big ultrasound done which will be where we get to see if we are having a boy or a girl! I am so excited. He decided since I would be a little over 17 weeks that I was far enough along and wasn't going to make me wait four weeks like I normally would. Buck and I have started debating on names and have some good options but can't seem to agree on any of them! We do have our boy name picked out but don't agree on the spelling yet. Hopefully we will have something picked out so when we find out what we are having I can start buying things and start monogramming everything in sight!

Happy St. Patty's Day

New Cakes

I had a couple of cakes to do this past week. I had one for a birthday party for the granddaughter of a friend of mine and another for my nephew's school birthday party.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Today we got a surprise! It snowed! I had the most fun hanging out with family and friends today playing in the snow. I took a ton of pictures but here are just a few.

Snow Angels!

Shaking all the snow out of the tree.

Making a snow man! We made three that day.

The snow wasn't very deep in some places so

our snowmen were a little dirty!

Snow icecream! Yum!
