This is what Aidan's room will look like.

Aidan Keith is on his way!

Yes everyone, you are seeing blue :) Jeff and I are having a baby boy!!! Let me tell ya, he is the cutest little thing. The ultrasound tech called us back this morning, and I went in and got all ready. She put the gel on my belly, and got started, and we knew in 2 or 3 seconds that it was a boy. When she first saw him she said he was sleeping and all curled up, so I thought....Great, it isn't going to cooperate. Then in her next breath she's telling us its' a boy. She got him to wake up though and we got to saw him yawn about 4 times, and his last one was such a big one. He was a sleepy boy. He would tilt his head back and wiggle around, and we got to see him bringing his hand up to his face. Oh, I loved every second of it. I can't wait to hold him and kiss him all over. The tech said that everything is very healthy. I loved it when she showed us all 4 chambers of his heart and we got to see it beating. I really don't think there are words to describe the experience except for awesome, and I'm not even sure that word does it justice. It's such a little miracle. God is so good to us.

As you can see, mommy and daddy had to go to the store to buy him something blue. Jeff picked out the baseball jammies, and I picked out the Peter Rabbit outfit for church. He'll be the most handsome man on the block.

I must go now. Those of you who have babies, give them big old kissies! What an amazing and blessed day this has been!

His spine.

Here he's saying....Hi Mom and Dad :)

Our beautiful baby boy!

I meant to post this weekend, but it was so full I didn't have time. As some of you know, my dad is legally blind. He has his peripheral vision, and that vision is blurry for him. Since he can't work anymore, he volunteers for this group called Daybreak. It's like a daycare group for people with alzheimer's. He really enjoys helping out there. He gets to take trips all over and go to shows and concerts and try all kinds of restaurants around here and Michigan. I"m glad he has that occupy his time. Anyway, this is a picture of a bear he painted for the baby. When he gave me the bear...oh, he looked so proud that he painted it. I was actually getting ready to take a bath in their big garden tub when he gave it to me. So, I hugged him and took the bear and I went in their room to soak in the big tub and I cried and cried. I think it was just that he isn't able to see well and he painted something for our baby.....wow! I love that this is something we'll always have and be able to tell our baby about how Pappaw can't see, but he loves you so much that he painted this for you. I love everything about it.

Sunday we took my dad to Columbus to get his seeing eye dog. He'll be there till May 19th going through the training with his dog. He's getting a lab, so I'm sure it'll be a pretty dog. I'm glad he'll have it b/c it'll be such a great help to him. My mom has talked to him and she said that it sounds like he's having a great time there. He is a huge social butterfly, and loves to talk to people and tell stories! I'm glad he can enjoy his time there.

Well boys and girls, tomorrow is the big day!!!!! We find out what this baby is. I thought this day would never get here, and right now it's almost 12 hours away. OH, I can't wait to see it! I hope it cooperates! I'm praying that it does. Then what am I going to do?....Buy something in blue or pink!!! All I want is a healthy, healthy baby.

I must go and watch the shows I've tivo'd the past 2 days. For once I've had a life and I've been busy. I love you all and hope you've had a great day.

Just a quick post, more to come later.

The picture of me yesterday was of me sitting at home bored. So, I did the cheesy thing I hate and took a picture of myself to document my boredom. Jeff told me I look mad.....I"m not mad, just bored. I'll post more this weekend! Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

No title for today...

Last night was great. Jeff and I laid down in bed last night and the baby started being it's usual wiggly self that it is right when I lay down, and I put Jeff's hand on my belly and he could feel the baby kicking! That was so amazing. I've been waiting for this little one to kick hard enough to where he could feel it. I was just tickled.

Today is going well. Nothing exciting is going on. I got up and made french toast and bacon for breakfast. We all need that comfort food from time to time. Now I'm just sitting here with Maggie. Actually, I'm watching her nap on the love seat. Looks like we're both bored. I think I'll take her for a walk.

I'll let y'all go. I was just excited about Jeff getting to feel the baby. Yay! Have a good day everyone!
