IT'S A BOY

We received the best Christmas gift this year... we found out we are having a son! Here are some pictures of our little man. Merry Christmas!!

Here he is spread eagle :)
This was the first view we got of him so there was no hiding he was a boy!

Below is a side view-You can see the side of his head. His hands are covering his face in embarrassment after being on display earlier:) Poor little guy.

This is his profile. You can see his sweet little nose and even the indention of his ear if you look close.

This is one of my favorites because you can see his two little feet(left hand side) and he is holding up his hand. We think he was waving to us.

And here are our son's legs. The doctor said they were long and muscular. Naturally Josh is already enrolling him in football and wrestling! Look at his sweet little bottom.

Another profile- You can see his spinal cord

It is amazing how you can love someone so much that you haven't even met! Having each other and now preparing for our son is the best Christmas gift of all. I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed holiday!

To Buy or Not Buy

So Josh and I are hoping to take the next big step...That's right we are house hunting!

Below I have posted a picture of our potential beauty. It is an old Victorian home built in 1890. That's right 1890 (yikes!!) Keep in mind this one is a fixer upper! Our goal is to find the ugly duckling in the desirable neighborhood and fix it up, and hopefully when we sell in a few years we will be able to make a profit. If any of you have watched "Property Ladders" or "Flip this House" then you know what I am talking about.:) We just want to find a property that will be a good investment. Buying a home alone is a big step, but all the renovations we need to do is a little nerve racking (Luckily Josh is handy). Anyways, we are just trying to get some final things in order before we make an offer! AHHH!!! Hopefully no one snags this house from underneath us before we can seal the deal. Wish us luck!!

I love Christmas

This weekend Josh and I put up our Christmas tree and decorations. It was so much fun. It was a day filled of hot cocoa and Christmas music!!! Last year at this time Josh was still in Iraq. I just felt so blessed to have him home. So much can change in a year!!










Check out my growing baby bump











Here is my sweet hubby working hard!









Our first Christmas tree as husband and wife!!









My latest profile
17 weeks pregnant and still growing! I've started feeling the baby move! I just feel like a small flutter, but it is the most exciting feeling ever.

Josh's 28th Birthday!

I know this post is late, but on November 13th Josh turned the BIG 2-8!! In fact this was his first birthday we have gotten to celebrate together. For Josh's 26th and 27th Birthday he was deployed in Iraq. So in honor of this special occasion I thought it was only appropriate to celebrate in style....Buffalo Bills style.

Josh is a huge Buffalo Bills fan! In fact all he asked for his birthday was Buffalo Bills gear! Below are pictures from his party. His birthday was on a Thursday so it was just the two of us, but after being apart for so long it was a perfect way to celebrate! At least this year I didn't have to mail his cake half way around the world!









I started by decorating our apartment in all blue and red (Bills colors)








What is a football themed party without a football cake?

And of course here he is in his new Buffalo Bills hoodie and beanie!

I bought him other gifts, but naturally these were his favorites.

Isn't he cute?!?

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I was so happy to share that day with you...finally! I love you!
