Drumroll please!

Today has been a pretty special day for Ben and I. We were lucky enough to be told by our sister, that there is an elective ultrasound company in our area that did gender reveals, and they were having a special of $60 2D and 3D ultrasounds with gender reveal. Because of our move, we wouldn't have been able to know if we were having a boy or girl until after we had settled in in Idaho again and had gotten insurance concerns out of the way. That would have taken a while, and I was NOT going to wait if I could help it!

After 4 months of calling our little one "Baby", "Baby Rose" (in case it was a girl), "Lovebug", and "Angel" I was very ready to have a name for our baby, and to make it personal. Plus, I have been dying to go shopping and look at more than just gender neutral yellow and green jungle animals at the store. Let's face it, while those are cute, I wanted more. I feel like singing, "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid everytime I go to the baby section, changing the lyrics to fit my needs for gender specific outfits that make me squirm with excitement!

So after our appointment today with our lovely technician (who was so nice and so friendly, anyone who is expecting a baby in the California area, I totally recommend Cindy, we loved her!!) we know what we are having and we are totally totally excited...drumroll please!

Without further ado, let me introduce our bubbly, bouncing, baby boy, Robbie Weston!

Isn't he a handsome little guy? He already looks like he may have my button nose, and was clearly moving around tons like his daddy. It took about two minutes for Cindy to point out that we were having a boy, he wasn't very shy about it (probably because he knew I couldn't handle the suspense any longer!). We are so thrilled and so overcome with joy. Even though we felt we may have a girl for a while, I kept feeling this itching little feeling that I had a little guy who would come first. Sorry, Robbie, for calling you "Baby Rose" for four months, now we can call you by a more masculine name and get ready for you to come with lots of fun boy stuff to play with!

Also, in a progressive note,today marks my fourth month of pregnancy (16 weeks!!) and I am starting to show a little bump now and am loving maternity leggings/jeggings. I felt utter and complete joy when I slipped them on and they didn't push on my tummy and felt like stylish pajamas. I can understand why some women secretly wear maternity clothes instead of real clothes, they are definitely so much more comfy. My nausea is so much better, I still have days like yesterday where even water made my tummy unhappy, but my energy is so much better, and my discomfort is so minimized by the joy of knowing we have a little man on the way!

For baby themes, we are going with monsters and mustaches. I love mustaches and have for years, and have been quietly snatching mustache baby outfits since getting married so I could have them for when a little boy came along. Good thing I did, I have some very cute ones now to dress my mini man in!

Thank you all for your encouragement and support, we are so thrilled to be starting our family and wanted to share the joyful news to you all. Our hearts are full of joy and gratitude for such a blessing.

Until next time!

Love, 

Liz, Ben, and Baby Robbie :)
