Yesterday we found out the baby's true identity: a GIRL. Dan was in shock. I was also in shock. Dan had told me so many, many, many, many times that he "only put in boys" that he nearly had me convinced. I was duped. LOL. So we were having the ultrasound and a friend from work told me if it was a girl I would see "equal signs" on the ultrasound. The technician said "here's the baby's bottom" and I shouted out "IT'S A GIRL!!!" She said yes, it looks like a girl! I looked over at Dan and bless his little heart he was about to cry. Then that made me cry. I know he wasn't crying because he was mad or upset...I think he was just so happy to finally know what it was and I think that the baby melted Daddy's heart right there in the ultrasound room. Dan is scared of girls because he knows he's gonna be wrapped around her little finger! I was kinda upset that I just gave him a daddy's girl because I was kinda wanting a mommy's boy! You know, just so I could have the baby all to myself! :-) I bet the baby will have a big butt and Dan is betting that she will have a big second toe (he even tried to see it on the ultrasound). Bless her heart. Blond hair, blue eyes, junk in the trunk, and bossy. Just like me! Hopefully she'll get her daddy's common sense and handy skills! :-)
Well we finally had somewhere to go! Dan's company had a PE dinner (that's Professional Engineer's) and he is a PE now! (I took the test Friday and I am not so sure I will be a PE until I take it again). Anyway, I hadn't been cute in a good while because I can't wear makeup because when I throw up it gets in my eyes and burns. I had given up on being cute until I pulled dress out of the closet! I felt sassy, finally! I love my belly....I think it's just so cute. It's just a little bigger than normal. ha ha. I think I have gained most of my weight right in the belly. I am 5 months in this picture. I just looked back at a picture talken about 7 weeks ago where I THOUGHT my belly was big, but it was just a joke I played on myself! ;-)
Dan looks hot too, by the way. That little hottie. I'm gonna go find him right now!

Happy 4th Anniversary!!


For our 4th anniversary we took a trip to Denver, CO. We spent some time with Dan's great uncle and took a train ride to Glenwood Springs to swim in the snow! The train ride was BEAUTIFUL. We saw beautiful wildlife including bald eagles, elk, deer, mountain sheep, and lots more! I didn't feel good on the trip at all...I was "morning sick" the entire time. I hope I didn't ruin Dan's trip! I tried to not complain as best as I could. We had a great time in the hot springs pool! I think that was the only time I felt good during the whole trip! I love Dan so much and I can't believe we have already been married for 4 years!!!
