Long time, no blog!

I've never been very good at keeping up a journal.... so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that i'm not awesome at keeping this blog up, either. But, it IS a new year, and we DO make new goals at this time of year. So, I'm gonna try and do much better. I'm going to get all caught up with this post... i'll even post a few videos! Feelin' so "on top of it" right now...

So, thought i'd finally share the video we took at the "find out the gender of baby nelson" party we had. I'll fill you in on the "back" story of the party. The day before the party, we had "the big ultrasound" where the ultrasound tech determined the sex of the baby. This was NOT easy to do... so if anyone else out there want to use this idea, you've gotta have some strong will power! So, during the ultrasound, we had to look away when she saw if baby was a boy or girl. I brought a little note card for her to write on, and she sealed it up with the ultrasound picture along with it. After my appointment, I went to the store to order the cake. I asked the baker to put a filling in the cake with the color that went along with the gender. We waited for a full, painful day! The next night we got together and shared the moment with our family and friends.... So that's what you see on the video. We really are finding out for the first time in this video... It was a lot of fun. Probably, the last time we'll do it that way, though. It was rough to wait!

It was such a relief to finally know what we were having... needless to say, the nursery decor plans include a lot of blue. :) We're pretty set on a name, but we're not going to call it "official" yet. You never know if you'll hear something else that you'll like.

We made the move out of our first apartment and are living in Lorne's parents old house until it sells... It's been wonderful staying here, but we're trying not to get too attached.

Christmas was great! We had a lot of fun and tried to take it all in as much as we could, enjoying our last Christmas as non-parents! We're very excited for next Christmas, though... at that point we'll have a 9-month old.

Hard to think we only have 10 weeks left until this little baby boy comes... I think at least once a day either Lorne or I say, "I can't believe he'll be here in 'this' amount of time. It'll be so different".

SO! Let the 10-week count-down begin! Here's to hoping it goes by fast... and slow at the same time so we can be well-prepared.

For fun, thought i'd post the video we took RIGHT after we found out we're having a baby... This is not the prettiest, it was super early and i'd just woken up. But it's fun to look back on.

Until next time!
