A few new...old...designs :)

Here are some of my Christmas/holiday card designs that I actually made last year. One was for our own card, the other was for Adam's parents' card. They are both two of my favorites. Remember, Christmas is coming very soon, and you need to get those cards ordered! Enjoy. :)

It's a....

girl girl girl!!!!!!!! Well, just one girl, but I'm so excited I had to say it 3 times. Wow. I am in awe. If this is the only girl I ever have, I'll be totally happy with that. I love having a boy too, and to have one of each is such a blessing. I cannot believe I am so blessed! So here's how today's ultrasound went.

I was at the park with friends and kids beforehand, then went to meet Adam at the doctor's office. The place was empty, so we got in right away (this is not normal). The tech was really nice and talkative, and got started right away. She showed/explained every little detail, which was neat. One of my favorite parts is seeing the four chambers of the heart and watching it beat. I thought her profile was cute and she reminds me a little of Odin but with a smaller head (compared to his ultrasound). The tech made us wait until the very end to show us the gender. Odin was kinda scared, kept whining and reaching for me while Adam held him. The tech gave him an ultrasound picture to look at, to keep him occupied. The baby weighs 0.61 lbs and had a hearrate of 133. Everything looked healthy, another blessing!

Finally, she moved the wand around to the between the leg shot. Well, it was VERY different from Odin's. I could plainly see nothing between the legs, and then said "it looks like a girl" and i started crying and asked her if she was sure. She showed us again and also showed us the three lines that indicate girl parts. Yay! I was very excited after this and was able to converse, as my nervousness went away. Adam and I are both so thrilled to add a little baby girl to our family. I am also excited for my nieces who don't have any girl cousins yet! I can't wait to buy some girl clothes, too, and do all the things that come with having a daughter. I also am so excited to see what she looks like! Here are some photos. Most are fuzzy, b/c i took pictures of them with a digital camera. I also added a belly pic so you can see how big I am already!

Our Vacation

We had a great time in Indiana! We only got to be there for five days, but it was a lot of fun. Odin was okay on the plane- one the way there he slept for a while, on the way back he was all over the place, but at least we had a row to ourselves. I got to go shopping for my birthday, and we also got some new clothes for Odin. Too bad we can't wear them until the temperature here gets cooler!
