Catching Up

 Love, love, love that I get to see this kid whenever I want throughout the day!

 Somehow this picture got left out when I was posting about Alysse's baptism.  I love Alysse's expression.

 Last Friday we went down to my nanny's house (five minute walk from our house) to go swimming and celebrate my two nieces birthdays.  They turned 13 which is still unbelievable to me.  Korbyn did a little better in the water, but still refused to get off the steps.  I did eventually have her jumping off of them to me.

 She's really starting to get the idea of having to be "gentle."  She always wants to hold and pet Pixie, but Pixie usually runs away from her because she's never been very gentle with her.  Now I'll tell her that we're going to have to be very gentle with the new baby and so she's been practicing with our dog.

Ultrasound

Guess what?!  It's a .....GOTCHA!

Colton and I decided before we went to the ultrasound on Wednesday that we were going to find out the sex of the baby and not tell anyone.  We'll see how long it lasts. 

I have had almost every single person I come across, whether I know them or not, tell me that it was a boy.  In fact, the only one that has said it's a girl is Korbyn and my oldest brother.

I've said from the very beginning that I will be extremely happy with either one.  I didn't grow up and get to experience that special bond with a sister, so if it's a girl I will be so excited that Korbyn gets to experience that.  Having a baby sister is ALL she's talked about!  And of course we would be happy with a boy because every family eventually wants that boy, especially my husband.

The tech actually gave me a due date of November 4th!!!  Korbyn's birthday if anyone has forgotten.  I've also said from the beginning that I don't care what day this baby is born on, as long as it's not on November 4th.  I DO NOT want them to share the same birthday.  Colton is a grown man and still complains about having to share a birthday with his brother :)

This baby is so active.  Even the tech made several comments about how she couldn't believe how much it was moving around.  As soon as the screen came up and we got to see the profile of the baby I started crying.  It's just so amazing!  I love this baby so much already.
