It's a...

We just found out we are having a little GIRL! We are so excited. We were both a little surprised. On my side there are 4 girl grandchildren and 1 boy. On Cole's side there are 4 boys and 1 girl (exact opposite). She will be the 6th grandchild on each side. It was funny because most people on my side thought it would be a girl and most people on Cole's side thought it would be a boy. I have to say that all of our nieces and nephews guessed correct. They all said it was a girl which is kind of ironic if you think about it. She was so cute during her ultrasound. She had her feet against her head. She is very flexible. It was so fun to see her and the changes that have taken place since our last ultrasound several weeks ago. I love her feet! Everything looks good. We are halfway there (20 weeks). We are now trying to get a list of names and are open to suggestions.

Camping

We had fun on our little camping trip to Sedona. It is only about 40 minutes from where we live but it is really different than where we live. It is about 15 degrees warmer. The canyon right before Sedona is where we camped. It is like a pine forest (like Flagstaff) but once you get into Sedona (about 10 minutes away) it turns to red rock. It is really neat. Taylor's family came up from Phoenix to go with us which was really fun.

This is slide rock. It has natural rock slides and is really fun.

We tried out our dutch oven for the first time. As you can see we're still learning.

Taj and Mia

Isn't he cute. He got this on his mission in Ecuador.

We were having a little trouble keeping Mia away from the fire so this is what we came up with. She didn't care for it so it didn't last long.

Any Guesses?

On Tuesday at 8:00 am we find out the gender of our baby. We can't wait. I don't know what the baby is but Cole kind of thinks it's a boy. Neither of us particularly cares what it is we are just thrilled to be pregnant. You'll have to let us know what you think it is. I think I've felt the baby. What I'm feeling feels like a little twitch every once in a while in my lower abdomin. It's pretty fun but only happens once in a while. Also, does anyone have any sleeping tips. I am having the hardest time sleeping. I've tried all sorts of things. I really miss being able to sleep on my tummy. I kind of want to get one of those airplane pillows so I can sleep sitting up. We are going camping with Taylor's family tomorrow in Sedona so I don't think I will be getting any sleep (even with an air mattress). Anyway, feel free to make any gender guesses and sleeping suggestions.

It Came!!!

Our stuff finally all came today (3 weeks later). I still don't have my home computer internet so I will have to wait to post pictures. Things are going well and Cole loves his job. I go to my new doctor for the first time tomorrow. I am now 18 weeks and am getting anxious to find out what the baby is. I learned some random true facts about pregnancy so I thought I'd share them. The lady that wrote "What to expect when you're expecting" was on TV and shared them.
1. The more heartburn you have while you're pregnant the more hair your baby will have
2. If you eat more chances are it's a boy. Don't worry, even though you eat more you won't gain more weight.
3. Your brain power decreases while you are pregnant (I knew I wasn't going crazy!). It will return within 6 months of giving birth.
