It's a Girl!

67% of you were right. We are having a baby girl. Her name will be revealed for all to see a little later, but right now we are just basking in the excitement of knowing that our little family will be welcoming its very own princess.

We are really looking forward to meeting her!

20 Weeks

We had a baby shower for my friend Jakki today. She's expecting a baby girl in September, and we are so excited to be welcoming little Aubrey into the world. 

Here's a fun picture of Jakki, Sheryl, and me. Jakki is 32 weeks and I'm 20 weeks. Oh, and the wind decided to play beauty shop with our hair. :)

Only One Week Left to Vote!

A week from today, we will have the answer to the big question - is BabyHead a prince or a princess? We still want to know what you think, so be sure to vote before next Tuesday! Thanks!

We have movement! (I think)

I've been wondering for a couple of weeks now whether every little gurgle or bubble I felt was the baby moving. Yesterday, when I was lying on the couch reading, I felt something very different. I've never been a mommy before, so I'm no expert, but if baby movement feels something like a lizard doing The Worm* through your lower abdomen, then we definitely have a little mover in there! Yay!!

*There. I made a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. Happy?

Dreams, again

If you've known me for a while, you know that my dreams tend to be somewhat colorful. Over the past few weeks, WOW! I keep reading about these nightmares I should be having, and I guess maybe my dreams would be nightmares for some people, but I just find them amusing.

First, there were the dreams in which I was being kidnapped by terrorists - first ninjas, then something else, and finally a white van, drink the Kool-Aid cult.

Then, there was the dream in which Dan sent me to the fabric store to buy some Tartan plaid so that he could make himself some kilts.

Last night"s dream needs a little background information. I have always wanted a pet chicken. But, it can't just be any old chicken. I want a Polish hen, the kind of fancy show chicken with feathers that look like fur and big plumes on top of their heads.  ---  I dreamed I was one of those.

I'm sure there will be more memorable dreams between now and December.  As long as they don't get scary, I'm kind of looking forward to it!

Happy Independence Day!

Opie wants me to pass along the message that s/he wants everyone to have a safe and happy 4th of July!

We are thankful to God that we live in a country in which we can worship Him freely, and where we are free to be safe and to express ourselves.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.”  Psalm 33:12
