the post everyone has waited for!

Yes, I'm very late in posting this - but what a weekend we have had!!! I'll start off with Friday. That evening was the Opening Ceremony for Special Olympics. I help coach the Bocce sport in Davidson County. Bocce is basically yard bowling, or very similar! The players range in age from 10 years up to in the 60's. Saturday morning was the start of the games, and it was COLD outside that day! The games started at 9am, and didn't finish up until @ 4:30pm. We had 4 teams in all and they all did great - some winning medals, and others ribbons. They had their dance Sat. night at Showplace in High Point, and they enjoyed theirselves quite a bit! Sunday was the final round of games, and the awards ceremonies to follow. However, I got a call from Nathan right @ lunchtime that Adam was throwing up and SICK! So I rushed home and we dealt with his virus the rest of Sunday and on into Monday morning. He was so pitiful and weak, but shortly after lunch on Monday he started perking up little by little -and that night he was running around like nothing had ever happened! After talking with one of his teachers, I found out that a virus has went through his room and got all but 2 of the kids. Now I've just got to hope that Nathan and I both dodge it!

Adam went back to daycare today, and at 9am we had our long awaited, much anticipated U/S appointment!! My mom and mother-in-law both went with us. They took Nathan and I back first to do more of the internal scanning of the heart chambers, brain, stomach, lungs, kidneys, etc.etc. I told her that I wanted both moms in the room when she revealed the gender to us. So she went out and got them and brought them in. She asked if we had a guess, and I gave her mine. Nathan didn't have one, so she said that I was right! **don't forget that you can click on each picture to enlarge it, if needed**


Here is the picture of the gender:


Here is a picture of my belly as of today (be prepared! lol!)and our big news!!!:










Once we finished with the u/s, I went in with my doctor and he said that everything was looking great. She is weighing approx. 1/2 lb, and is @ 9 inches long. He did tell me that they will be watching her growth closely as I progress in the pregnancy to make sure that she is staying on track with the single artery in the cord. But right now our little Hannah is just perfect!!!

I'm sorry for those that don't already know that it's taken me this long to get it posted. I was extremely busy today at work playing catch up from being out yesterday.

I hope that everyone is well, and I'll be keeping you posted as the weeks go along!
