Pink or Blue?


We are having a little boy! We are so excited! We went to get a gender check ultrasound yesterday. I was pretty sure that it was a girl and Kennedy was pretty sure it was a boy. Neither of us had our hearts set on which gender we wanted but my gut feeling was girl. When the technician said it looks like a boy... I was thought "are you sure?" After a minute it was pretty clear it was indeed a little boy haha. It took a few minutes for me to change my thought process. In my head as I was planning everything I was thinking girl so I had to switch to the boy track. Not that it was disappointing! It was so exciting to finally know, now we can stop calling the baby it! 'It' seemed a little insulting.

After our appointment we headed out to Idaho Falls and hit up some baby stores... We held back, hoping we would soon be gifted many cute things but we couldn't resist picking up a few. 





This little elephant tee was our favorite! We cannot wait to see our little guy in it.

Week 17: Humming Along

This week I finished the tops for our Girls quilt and our Boys quilt. We still don't know what we are having yet so we wanted to be prepared! THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE HAVING TWINS. Haha, don't mistake the two quilts for two babies! So if anyone out there is wanting to buy us baby things for the nursery these are the colors we are going with. So take note :)



Update on Me and Baby B

  • This week Baby B can now hear music! They say when you listen to music when the baby is in the womb the baby will be able to recognize the music after it's born. So our baby will be very familiar with Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie.
  • Baby B also mastered the art of yawning this week and hiccuping.
  • I have been craving mexican food like crazy... because of that we have discovered a few new restaurants in Idaho Falls. Thank you UrbanSpoon.com.
  • I have started to invest in a few pieces of maternity clothes. Someone tipped me off about the maternity section at Ross!! That was an awesome discovery. I finally found some great leggings that won't be hot in the summer but they are still solid enough that they aren't see-through.
  • Luckily I have gotten my appetite back... not in the way that I am eating more but more things are appealing to me again. I'm still eating A LOT and ALL the time but now I can stomach most things.
  • So Kennedy doesn't feel neglected he is training for a marathon and we are very proud of all the hard work he is putting into that goal. He is very diligent!
Well that's all for now! See you next week!

Sweet 16.



Well I managed to last 16 weeks without a baby bump but this week is popped out despite my efforts. I suppose it was inevitable. It is very cool and weird to have physical evidence of a baby hanging out on my tummy. My jeans definitely don't fit anymore {thank goodness for hair elastics} and I am realizing I might have to invest in a few pieces of maternity wear! I guess it's an excuse to go shopping.

A few little facts about me and Baby B

  • Baby B is currently the size of a Turnip
  • Baby started to hear this week so it will come out loving Coldplay... or hating it haha.
  • I have been craving fish sticks and french fries.... like crazy. Hello lunch time!
  • I can finally eat Oatmeal again without gagging
  • AND I can take my prenatal vitamins again without throwing up afterwards. Hallelujah!
  • The other night while I was saying my prayers I think I felt a little kick... Now I've never felt a baby kick before so I'm not sure if that's what it really was but I felt a 'pop' and it was definitely a feeling I have never felt before. According to everything I've read I could feel the baby move already so that was kind of cool.
  • I am finally able to go to sleep at a reasonable hour again and I am waking up before noon, thank goodness! I am still sleeping 9 hours a night but it's no longer from 3-12 {that was a pretty gross period of time}

Well that's all we got for now. See you next week!
