The app on my phone let me know today that I only have 88 DAYS LEFT until my due date! Holy cow, where did the time go? Work has just been so crazy the past couple months, and especially the past few weeks that weeks have seemed like days. Luckily it looks like my workload will not be lightening up anytime soon so the remainder of my pregnancy should fly right by!
We also found out last week that Brittany and Bryce are having a boy too! Everyone was so shocked, even Brittany's doctor because the baby's heart rate has always been above 160 and not one person guessed that she was having a boy.
We are all so excited though especially where the babies will be so close in age and we are hoping that they will be good friends. Brittany brought over a bunch of the baby clothes she has bought to show us and Matt and I have a bunch of the same stuff she does! They really will be little buddies.
Now we just need the next 88 days to fly by so that Matt and I can finally meet our little guy!

20 Week Ultrasound Update
So on Monday Matt and I went to the 20 week ultrasound appointment and it went awesome!! I don't know why but everytime I have a doctor appointment I get so nervous. I was really nervous for this appointment though. It probably had to deal with the fact that it was at the hospital and that they were checking to make sure the baby is growing correctly with no complications.
Well everything went wonderful. We found LDS hospital with just a few wrong turns and the nurses and doctors were so nice to us. The ultrasound technician we had was great, she told us everything she was looking for and when she found it she would tell us.
On Monday I was 20 weeks and 1 day but the baby was measuring 20 weeks 5 days and weighs 12 ounces. The technician said your baby weighs the same as a coke haha. They looked at his brain, heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys, and spine.
Matt told the technician that we already knew we were having a boy early on in the ultrasound but after about 10 minutes she stopped and said "They told you it was a boy?" Matt and I both looked at each other and panicked a bit and then she started laughing and said "Well good because it is definetely a boy!" She was also the fourth person to tell us that we have a very active baby so Matt and I are a little worried that we may have super baby come out but we are so excited!!

Ultrasound today!
Yay I have my 20 week ultrasound today! I can't wait to see my little baby moving all around, it feels like it has been forever since I have seen him. I also am having this ultrasound at the LDS hospital which is where I am delivering so it will be good to see the hospital and know where to go. I'm so excited to be halfway done! Only 4 and a half more months!

Its Officially a Boy!
Matt and I found out on Friday, May 13 that we are definatly 100% having a boy! When we went in for our appointment on Monday the cord was between the baby's legs so they could not give us a definate answer. They tried for a half hour to get the baby to reposition himself but he wouldn't.
The ultrasound tech was getting a little frustrated and said "wow you will have a stubborn baby on your hands. Which one of you does he take after?" Matt and I both looked at each other, smiled, and said the baby will be just like its Daddy! We had a pretty good hunch at that point it would be a little boy.
The ultrasound tech confirmed that we are having a boy at our Friday appointment. As soon as she said boy I got tears in my eyes and instantly felt so much closer to the little baby that is inside me. Just knowing that it is a boy made the pregnancy feel so much more real, and almost like wow, we really will have a baby here in just over 5 months and I can't wait to meet him!
The great part about not finding out on Monday is that I got to see my baby twice in one week! He really was darling, we could see him moving all around, stretching, and kicking his legs. The ultrasound tech said he was sucking his thumb too. She also said that he was one of the most active babies that she had ever seen. I think I may have my hands full come October 30th and I can't wait! :)

Boy or Girl?
Matt and I are finding out if we are having a boy or girl tonight!! Well, if all goes to plans. I am just barely 15 weeks and it will depend on if the baby wants to be cooperative or not, but I think we will find out tonight.
Half our family and friends say boy, the other half say girl. Matt and I go back and forth pretty much on a daily basis so I can't wait to find out! I have been trying to not get too excited either way, so that no matter what we are having I will be thrilled for.
I do have to admit though, I am slightly nervous to find out if its a boy or girl. It is one of those landmarks in a pregnancy and I think everything will start feeling so real after this. Then Matt and I can start buying things for the baby and start thinking of names and really get excited for our little Halloween baby to get here!

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!
