So today was the day....We found out if we're having a boy or a girl!  I've always loved the idea of gender reveal parties, and I really wanted Sam to do it with me.  Sam had to know though, so we reached a compromise.  We went to the ultra sound and Sam found out but I was still in the dark!  It was so hard not to find out there!  Then he went and bought an outfit for boy or girl, and wrapped it up for me.  I made pink and blue cupcakes and invited some friends over to be there for our big reveal. 


So I have to say that I was 99% convinced I was having a boy!  Sam wasn't sure but recently he started leaning towards the idea that we were having a little girl.

We have one very active baby.  Our baby would not stop moving around and pulling different moves it was too funny.  However, our baby is also very modest, and didn't want to show us their privates.  Finally we got one glimpse and we know for sure that we are definitely having a baby...

Yep...it's a girl and we couldn't be more excited!!!  We're so excited to meet this little girl.

Wow, we had a fun weekend.  I decided I would update the blog on both my pregnancy and our all our family events.

So first up.  I said I was never going to post a single pregnant picture, because lets face when you're pregnant you just feel frumpy, and not remotely attractive...but Sam thought it would be cute  if we documented pictures of my growing belly.  And since I don't live close to most of my family I thought it might be fun for them to see.  So here it goes...

This is me at 14 weeks. I was just starting to get a bump.  Nobody else noticed the bump, but I defnitately noticed the changes!

This is me at 18 weeks, and I have definitely popped.  I'm in that awkward stage where everybody wonders if you're actually pregnant or just getting chunky.

This past weekend my step-brother Colby got married.  On Thursday my sister-in-law Susie came to visit with her two cute kiddos! We took them to the splash park and had so much fun.  Bailey loved it, Colter was a little more cautious and wan't quite sure how he felt about it!

On Saturday, June 16th, Colby and Melanie were married at the Logan, Utah temple.

It was a beautiful wedding, and I'm excited to have Melanie be a part of the family.  It was such a great weekend.  On Friday we drove down to SLC and spent the afternoon with Sam's family.  We went to a Shinkle family reunion.  It was so fun to see family we haven't seen in a while.
