It's a BOY!!

We had the ultrasound yesterday afternoon. (It was so amazing!) The part everyone wants to know is the gender - which I've already explained in the title :-) And here's the proof:
At first he was being modest and not showing us the goods. The radiologist said she thought it was a girl which he apparently didn't like because a few minutes later we got this picture, and there's no denying he is a HE!! I honestly wasn't really hoping for one or the other, just as long as it was healthy and developing normally. Looks like, I've got another man in my life now! I love being able to say a gender - we can say HE now and not IT. I have a feeling that it might take awhile to pick a name, so when we do I'll be sure to share...for now he's just my little guy!

It was amazing being able to see all his body parts so clearly and being able to watch him wiggle around. His hands were up by his face for most of the ultrasound and at one time he gave us a thumbs up! I already love his little feet and profile - can't wait to see him in real life. I'm sure he will come faster than I can imagine - we're already half way there - crazy!
So, it was an exciting day yesterday. I'm so thankful for this little miracle and that all is well.
Oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Disney World Vacation

Mike and I (as well as the Parker family) took a little trip to Disney World at the end of September. It was my first time there, and Mike's second. We had a really great time...even if it was hot and humid! We went to each of the 4 parks for at least a whole day, and went to one of the 2 water parks (Typhoon Lagoon) on one day too.
I can't really pick a favorite thing, I liked pretty much all of it. Some of the highlights included:
1. Swimming with sharks at Typhoon Lagoon
2. Seeing Mike and Steve participate (i.e. get soaked) at the Hollywood Studios Backlot Tour
3. Eating Yorkshire fish and chips at Epcot's UK (they were quite authentic)
4. Watching Mike buy a 6 month (green) Mickey Mouse shirt for the baby (totally his idea)
5. Spending time with my wonderful husband, who made sure I was eating properly, not getting dehydrated, and wearing my (SPF 70!) sunscreen!

We had a great time and it made me so excited to experience the magic of Disneyland through the eyes of my child one day!
