Drumrolllllll......

Alright all you folks the time has come! We had our ultrasound this afternoon and no doubt about it... we're having a little boy! We are so excited! He'll be the first grandson on the Merrell side, and he'll have a little cousin the exact same age on the Richardson side (My sister in law is due with a little boy on the exact same day!). I'm sure he'll be strikingly handsome, just like his daddy! Thanks for all your votes, and for those of you who voted for a boy- you win!
Yep! He's a boy! Look at that cute little toosh!

Kind of creepy, I know, but so precious too. Look at those eyes. And that white circle just right of his head is one of his little arms pushing up. It was so fun to see him moving around and kicking (my bladder). I can't wait to have him out of my tummy and in my arms. Hooray for little boys! Grandpa Merrell- here's the start of your football team!

We find out tomorrow!

So Jake and I just returned from a fun filled week Girls Camp. What a fun time! We went with the 4th year girls to "A Camp." We went to Blue Ridge Reservoir and went canoing and had a blast. Then spent the last 2 days at Camp Lomia. We absolutely loved it and Jake is hoping that we'll get to go again next year. (Pictures to come later) After Girls Camp I think Jake is kind of hoping for a girl. I was pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoyed interacting with the girls this week. If our little one is a girl- she's totally going to be a daddy's girl. Then Jake was watching some of his football highlight videos from high school and I can totally see him being all psyched to teach his boys football. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Tomorrow is the day we find out! I personally think we've got ourselves a boy, but wouldn't be surprised at all if it's a girl. I'm so indecisive! Anyways, get your vote in if you haven't already- my doctor's appointment is tomorrow at 4:30, so if you're really interested then check back at about 6:30 or so.
Oh, also- I have a job interview tomorrow with the University of Phoenix being an enrollment counselor. We'll see how it goes. It sounds a little scary- I'll have to role play a phone call and everything- that just screams a red face to me. Anyways, sorry for the lack of pictures, but my camera is trashy and I don't feel like looking anything cool up on the internet.

Creepy baby thing

Okay, so I've always thought that the little countdown til baby thing was kind of creepy. Not the idea of counting down, just the little alien baby floating and bobbing around. But I finally gave in and posted one to my blog. It's more for me than anything- it helps me keep track. And it's kind of fun to see how many days are left- kind of daunting right now with 165 days to go, but we'll get there soon. Jake and I find out what we're having on July 29th. We can hardly wait to find out what "it" is! We would be just absolutely excited with either a boy or girl, but it will just be fun to finally know what our baby is. I've posted a poll where you can vote what you think it will be. Boy? Girl? Let us know what you think. I'll of course post what we're having as soon as we find out!
