Correction...

Today we got our first ultrasound.
I could have sat there forever and watched that screen.
Look at this sweet little peanut.

This little one would not stop moving around the whole time we were at the doctor.
We have a little wiggle worm on our hands here.
I am excited to see if it keeps it up throughout the rest of the pregnancy.
We also learned that I am not 12 weeks...
I am only 9 weeks.
This changes our due date from October 17th to November 11th.

I have not been suffering from morning sickness except for the few days I took my prenatal vitamins in the morning. (but now that we have learned that I am not as far along things might change) 
I have been real tired though.
I find myself wanting to nap... A LOT! 
B has been absolutely wonderful...
If I fall asleep on the couch (depending on the time) he will tip-toe around so he does not wake me, or he will carry me to bed. 
I got one good guy!
Pregnancy is certainly magical.
It ignites a spark you never knew was missing. 
I cherish the sweet moments when B kisses my tummy, or when he whispers sweet promises and love toward our unborn child.

Last Thursday we went to our doctors appointment and had the amazing opportunity to hear our sweet babies heartbeat. 
It took him awhile to find it but once he did, the sound that filled the room was so incredible. 
Looking over at B while we listened to that fast-paced lub-dub, it made me fall in love with him even more. 
We have created something together. 
  A little mini-Howell.

Warming up in the pen....

We are excited to announce that...

BABY HOWELL IS ON ITS WAY!!!
(Don't know the gender yet)
I am currently 12 weeks and we couldn't be more excited! 
We had some pretty funny experiences when we told our families.
Screams from our Moms, Dad hitting his head on the wall,
comments about lady parts, and ninja fighting between sisters. 
We are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives and 
cant wait to meet our new little bundle of joy in October.

Sunshine Weekend...

This past weekend was wonderful. 
The parents came down from Vegas for a little visit.
It was an absolute gorgeous weekend.
Clear blue skies, sunny, and perfect temperatures.


We spent our few days with them eating amazing food, 
watching a little bit of baseball, 
and enjoying the beautiful AZ weather.
Thanks for coming to see us Momma and Poppy. 
We sure loved having you around.
