It's a.....

Boy! I don't have the ultrasound pics yet, but Brett is going to scan them in tomorrow. But since I said I would post today, I figured I should at least update this this really quick and give the play by play tomorrow. I'll leave you with at least one picture though :O)

I'm Back...

Again, yes it's been a long time since I've been on here... Blah, blah, blah... You've heard my excuses before so I won't waste too much of your time with any more. EXCEPT (I have to get in at least one) to say that I haven't had internet since January and managing things from my phone, well I just didn't have the patience for it. Looking at my blog though it's definitely been awhile. I mean we've moved twice (yes, twice.. well we're still in the process of finishing up the second one. I'd say it's for awhile this time, but that seems to be a common saying and not a common action). We've had chickens, goats, and a steer (and had to get rid of them due to the most recent move). And most importantly, our little family unit is expanding.

Yes, you read it right. Another Nixon!

17 Weeks

It's week 20 as of today. Tomorrow we get to find out (if this little one cooperates) whether it's a boy or girl, which will definitely make this whole experience more real. It won't be an "it" any more. It'll be a "he" or "she" and more than likely have a name.

We're having a family dinner at pizza tomorrow night to announce the gender. Way easier to get everyone in one place than to make a million phone calls and text messages. Not to worry though! I'll update this with the most recent ultrasound pics and pics of the festivities once we're home. 

As always with my first blog after a long period of silence, I'll leave you with promises that I'll be better, post more often, etc. In all actuality though, I really hope to! With a little one on the way it'll definitely be a good way to share stories and pictures with the family. So here's to turning over a new leaf.... finally!
