The Crib
We ordered our crib!! Oh I am so excited! My parents are so sweet and told Matt and I that they wanted to buy our first baby crib. So the day Matt and I told my parents we were having a baby my mom and I went to Babies'R'Us to start crib shopping.
This is the crib I picked! Darling, isn't it? It will arrive to the store in 7-14 days and then we can go pick it up! I talked to Matt about it last night and convinced him to help me clean out our second bedroom early, so that we can set the crib up as soon as it arrives. I know he thinks I am a little crazy, but I am just so excited and Matt is so good to humor me!

Announcement
I meant to blog sooner, but work has been a little too crazy these days. A week ago today, so March 25 Matt and I went to our first doctor's appointment! Oh we were scared to death, had absolutely no idea what to expect. We decided to go to the Salt Lake Clinic, instead of Intermountain Health Care because they are smaller, and also it would be easier for me to go leave work for appointments if it was downtown.
We met our doctor and she was really great. She took me back first to do the regular screenings, and then brought Matt back so that we could see our baby for the first time on the ultrasound! We were absolutely amazed at how clearly we could see our little baby. You could see the heartbeat and its little arms and legs and it kept moving all around. It was seriously the most amazing experience I have ever had and the doctor gave us three pictures to take home!
Matt and I were headed over to his parent's house for dinner that night, but we stopped home and made a photocopy of the ultrasound. We then went to the grocery store and bought a congratulations card and stuck the ultrasound inside. When we got to his parent's house Matt handed them the card, luckily while both his parents were sitting.
Shayne opened the card and got really confused. She looked at the ultrasound, looked back at us and said "What is this?" Matt told her it was exactly what she thought it was and she freaked out!! Both parents took several hours for the news to completely sink in because they had not been suspecting a thing.
Because my dad had to work Friday night and we wanted to tell both parents together, we decided to go to my parents Saturday morning for breakfast. We were more careful this time, and actually wrote in the card that they were going to be grandparents again. We gave my parents the card and when they opened it all they said was "NO WAY"!! And then my mom cried. haha Apparently Matt and I are very good at keeping people in the dark.
It's so nice to have everything out in the open now and to get excited about having a baby here in just 7 months!!! Oh I can't wait!
