Elena is going to have a baby brother!

That's right! I'm pregnant and we found out today that we are having a boy. I'm very excited to starting buying boy clothes, bedding, pick out a paint color, etc. There's so much to do. I guess it's a good thing we have 5 months to work out all that stuff. I'm due June 30th.

I wish I had a great belly picture to download, but I just really started to show recently and I don't have one yet. I'll try to take one tomorrow or Sunday when I am actually wearing makeup and have my hair done. Only the best for you guys. ;) Maybe I'll also take the time to scan in a couple of our many ultrasound pics.

The sonographer was so nice. She was pointing out tons of medical things to Dan (different veins, arteries, and junk like that) and I would just ask, "And that looks good, right?" She was so nice in fact that she nonchalantly switched halfway through and started doing a 3D ultrasound. It was very cool! It's definitely too early to say who he looks like or anything like that, but it was amazing to see his little face and hands!

5 Things I Like About Today...so far

This tag seemed easy and quick enough, so I thought I would actually participate. :) Thanks, Amy, for helping me to think about a few little things that I am grateful for today.

1. I have taken the first step to repainting the masterbath - I bought a little can of sample paint.
2. Elena's bedtime prayer was super cute: She blessed the missionaries and Daddy and she said, "Thank you for many opportunities." She pays such close attention to what we say.
3. I updated the blog a little (new background and added some links).
4. I got to make chocolate chip cookies with 4 great kids today (Izzy, Abbi, Caleb, and Elena).
5. I tried out my "Dry Shampoo" spray last night before bed and woke up to good, clean hair.

Hmmmm, I guess I will tag Kristin, my mom, Bernice, Megan, and Tara because I think that they will actually do it. Everyone else is welcome to as well!
