It's a BOY!

Last Wednesday, we had an amazingly surreal afternoon as we went to the doctor to find out there is a sweet baby boy inside of me. I was completely shocked as I thought it was a girl (and so it seemed that everyone else did as well) but I could not be more excited. Now that we know it is a boy, I feel like I know him a little better and love calling him "a him" rather than "he" or "she". It was so neat to see him on the ultrasound. I am happy to report he has all 10 toes and fingers, all his bones, and was even sucking his little thumb. His little button nose just melts my heart. The ultrasound tech finally made me go to the bathroom towards the end so that he would stretch out his legs for her to see but I loved seeing them all curled up beneath him. He is breech and I can feel his tiny kicks in my lower abdomen. He is always moving around! I love feeling him.

Here are a few photos of our baby cub...

Look at that nose and those lips!

So, yay for baby boys!

Besides that, we had a wonderful weekend with the Briedes (as usual). They drove down on Thursday and watched RB on Friday as well as cooking dinner for us as Matt and I went to Columbia on a field trip with my kiddos to the zoo! Here is the precious cargo that Matt and I carried in our van...

 

On Friday night, after a wonderful meal prepared by Amy, we went to get some frozen yogurt and then went to bed. Saturday morning, we all got up early to watch Matt, Paul, and Blake run the 10K Cooper River Bridge Run. We met the Rasmussens at their house as it was at the starting line. Then, Amy and  I went downtown to catch the end while Erin kept us updated from the starting line. Here is a video as Matt and Paul passed by us...don't mind Amy's dirty mouth or my annoying laugh :)

After the race, we enjoyed an afternoon at a Fly Fishing Film Tour and then some late night sushi takeout for dinner. Sunday, we went to 17 North's BBQ & Beer Festival and then toured Boone Hall.

 

 

All in all, it was an amazing last couple of weeks. The weather is getting hot...it hit 90 on Monday! This week is my last week of school before spring break and Mama comes on Saturday, can't wait :)
