Little stories

Hi family and friends,

I don't have any one big, exciting, hilarious story to share with you today, but instead a few little treats to hopefully make you smile.

• After getting the oil changed last week, we noticed our thermometer had mysteriously changed to the Celcius scale...which is no problem for those of us who enjoy doing mathematical equations in our heads (Adam) every time we want to know how hot or cold it is outside.  I, however, blame Canada...and if I have to resort to your temperature scale, can I pleeeeeease get your maternity leave benefits?? 
• Adam sweetly telling me one morning that during the night, Thomas crawled up between us, laid his head on the pillow toward Adam, and yawned a horrendous, fish-smelling, puppy-dog, yawn...to which Adam responded by ever so gently flipping Tom to his other side, so his fishy breath would be directed toward the pregnant lady who sleeps like a log. All together now, "AWWWW!!!!"  And if you think THAT wins husband of the year award, just wait til he mistakenly calls my belly bump, a belly bulge.  Not quite the cutest mental image....
• Our new chiropractor is a a mix between a California surfer and Dierks Bentley, which I must say, I can't complain.  We've both started seeing him and I can't say I notice THAT much of a difference right now, but they say patients under chiropractic care often have labors up to 30% shorter! HOORAY!!! However, the receptionist informed us that we could ONLY have 60 massage visits in a year at 85% coverage....darn! :) It's already May! I don't know if I'll be able to reach my quota!!
• Apparently, little baby Hill has better things to do than have his heart rate checked by the doctor. It took her about 5 minutes to find that little stinker, then he proceeded to summon all his energy and jump to the other side of my uterus. Sorry kiddo, you can only hide in there for so long! :)

I think that's about all of our fun times in the past week, but hopefully I'll have more soon after a busy holiday weekend! 

It's a....

The wait is finally over!

The votes were tallied...

We were able to rule out twin boys...what a handful that could have been!

Hmm....

Twin girls seem to be out, too!

Down to the final two....drum roll!!

It's a boy!!!! We are welcoming a sweet little baby boy in September. :) 

Proud parents to be.. :)

Now comes the fun part!! Planning!!! :)

Good evening!

I know, it's been quite a while since the last post, but I'm ready to catch everyone up on what has been going on! But first, here is a mish-mash of random photos that I've taken the past few weeks.. :)

Today marks the 20th week of pregnancy! Can you believe it!?! Already halfway through this crazy thing! Little baby Hill has been moving around quite a bit the last week or so, especially after I eat grapes (weird)...  I also finally broke down and ordered a pair of maternity jeans...OMG, best $24 I have ever spent! Now tempted to order Pajama Jeans so I can be even more comfortable at work.  I believe if you order RIGHT NOW, they will double your order.  Does anyone want to go in halvsies with me?? :)

Last weekend we took a little baby-moon to fabulous Las Vegas!! It was really nice to get out of the rain and gloom of the Pacific Northwest, but I actually started to miss Bellingham! If only for the reason that I was on the verge of a bloody nose all weekend due to the dry air.  We took in a little bit of the action on the strip, although there was a huge boxing match going on at the MGM and the place was packed! I got in some MAJOR people watching, by far my favorite part of the whole weekend! We ate a nice dinner at the Rainforest Cafe with Adam's parents and aunt and uncle, who are now finally back in Washington, yay!!! We missed you guys!! :)

This is the last day to place your bets on Baby Hill being a girl or a boy!!!!!! Tomorrow we go in for an ultrasound and hopefully they will be able to tell what that little nugget is!! Although Adam is under the impression that if it's a boy and anything like him, the ultrasound tech will have no problem figuring it out...I'm not so sure...So far it's a landslide vote for a girl, but you just never know! :) I'm already outnumbered in this household, I need a little girl to help even out the playing field!! :)

A special thank you goes out to Taylor who dog sat Tom and Dud while we were in Vegas, I know for a fact that there were some tough times that weekend, including Dudley's tap dancing, Thomas's violently sniffing EVERYTHING while on a walk and of course, the 4:30 AM built in alarm clocks ("We are hungry! Feed us or we will tap dance till we can't tap dance NO MORE!!").  I think they missed you Sunday when you were gone.. :(

I think that is all for updates! Keep on the look out for exciting gender reveal!!! YAY!!!!
