And the Winner is...

After searching and battling with Garrett on fabric to make the baby's crib bedding from I believe we have reached a decision.  Now we just have to find coordinating fabrics to complete the ensemble.  Have a suggestion?  Please let me know.  

It's a boy!

The title says it all.  I'll post the pictures of the ultrasound once I'm over the plague and feel up to it.  Just thought I should post this quick bit of news.  

Heartbeat Information

So I heard the baby's heartbeat this week, and found out that in the old days before ultrasounds they told people if your baby's heartbeat is below 140 bpm it's a boy if it is above 140 it's a girl.  My baby's heart rate was 163 bpm.  Garrett has been sure it's a boy the entire pregnancy so I guess only time will tell...and the ultrasound I'm having April 16th.  

Huzzah!

In a recent survey, conducted by Gallup, Utah was named the "happiest" place to live, followed by Hawaii (Yay for Carrie!)  then, wait for it...Wyoming????  Apparently the survey tries to measure people's overall well being.  

Want to know the most unhappy place to live?  In last place you get West Virginia, followed by Kentucky then Mississippi.  

So friends, let's have 3 cheers for living in the happiest states!

First Doctor's Visit

Despite what the title implies this was not my first doctor's visit ever, however it was my first visit regarding my pregnancy.  We got to see the heartbeat, which looked like a flashing light, and we got to see our baby, which looked like a peanut.  I am told that this is normal given how far along I am.  We also found out the due date:  September 11th.  Yay!  

All of the excitement of the visit caused me and Garrett to realize how much we need to learn about being parents.  Luckily I found a website with some very helpful tips.  Thank you c00lstuff.com!  Now we can confidently bring a baby into the world.

(This one is my personal favorite.)

So I got nothing for January, and I just realized the month was almost over and I have posted nothing...I mean nothing. So this is a post about nothing to keep up my once a month posting schedule.
