Almost 28 WEEKS!

28 weeks almost!!!

Before going to a friend's wedding!

Cute little guy looking out the window

I caught the kids getting into the pantry! So naughty! They love to play together & are so much fun!

I can't believe I'm 28 weeks pregnant already! Time is flying by now! We've kept busy with work and school! Prest officially finished his 2nd year of law school & now has less than a year until he's a law school graduate! I'm so proud of my hubby & all his hard work! I'm still working at my nursing manager job, but am looking forward to going on maternity leave in July! It will be so nice to have 3 months off so I can be with my baby! We went out to the Tulip festival in Holland last Friday! Prest got to ride the carnival rides but I couldn't go on them since I'm preggo (except I hid my belly & snuck onto the ferris wheel!). Last weekend we also went to my friend Becky's wedding downtown & I got to hang out with all my work buddies, which was awesome! This weekend we went out to Lake Michigan for the Grand Haven Kite Festival & ate lunch at a restaurant on the beach! Too bad the water was too cold to swim in though! Well, I can't believe this baby will be here in less than 3 months now! Let the countdown begin!

Oh Boy, its a BOY!!

We're excited to announce we're expecting a little BOY!!! I had an ultrasound about 2 weeks ago when we found out the little squirmer was a boy! I was trying so hard not to peek at the screen, but then turned my head for one second before the tech was going to tell us the gender, & sure enough...I saw it was a boy, plain as day!! This is officially the 1st boy in my family--I have 4 sisters & 3 step-sisters, so needless to say, my Dad is very excited!! The rest of our family is super excited too! This is the 1st grandchild & great grandchild for both our families! I took some belly shots 2 weeks ago before I had the ultrasound & my belly is starting to show! I'm now almost 23 weeks! We couldn't be happier!

My 15 week belly!

Well, now that I'm almost 19 weeks along, I guess I should announce we're PREGNANT!! My period was two weeks late, so I took a pregnancy test back on Christmas eve and it was negative! So about 2 weeks later, I was over a month late, so I took another test and it was POSITIVE! We went to the doctor and sure enough I was almost 10 weeks along! They said I must have gotten a false negative the 1st time (yes, I do know how to read a pregnancy test!). Shortly after finding out the morning sickness hit and laste up until about 17 weeks. BLEH! I told Preston that we aren't having anymore kids because I never want to be that sick again!! I'm due in AUGUST, and we find out next week what we're having! As long as the baby is healthy, and I don't end up having twins, then we'll be more than happy!! Well, I will definitely post again when we find out what we're having! UNTIL THEN!
