A Sweet Nine Months: What an Eventful Week!

It has been such a special week! First, we found out what we are having at our ultrasound on Monday!! Baby Wallbank is a...

BOY!!!

We are so excited!! I have to admit, I was very surprised when the ultrasound tech said it was a boy. I think it was mainly because everyone and anyone I knew said we were having a girl! People who swore they are never wrong on their predictions were all saying girl. I almost wanted to ask the tech, "Are you sure?! Because everyone I know says we are having a girl." :)

Both Chris and I are thrilled about the news. I've had a few friends ask if I was disappointed, or if I was hoping for a girl. It is no secret that I am a girly girl, and love all things girl! However, I couldn't have been happier with the news that we were having a boy!!! I wasn't the slightest bit disappointed. Now, with that being said, if we were on baby number 3 or 4, and we didn't have any little girls yet, I would definitely be wishing this was a girl! But I am thrilled to have a baby boy for our family's first little blessing. He will be perfect! <3

Also this week, I felt our baby boy's first kick! It was so cool. I was laying in bed on Monday night and felt a little tiny pop in my stomach. It almost felt like a gas bubble or what you feel when you are hungry. I thought I was probably just imagining things, so I didn't think much of it. Then the next night, I was laying in bed again, and felt the same thing. Except this time, it happened several times in a row in the same spot - pop, pop, pop! Then it would move over to the other side of my stomach! It was definitely baby boy moving around in there. Since then, I feel him kicking all the time! I was in a meeting with my principal (Kat :)) on Thursday about my evaluation (a pretty important meeting!), and he kept kicking me! It was tough not to smile or get distracted. :)

Finally, one other cool thing happened just today: I got baby boy's FIRST clothes in the mail! My sweet friend Angela and her husband, Ryan, sent this awesome package in the mail. Thank you so much guys!

It is full of the cutest boy outfits from Baby Gap! They are all fish themed. The fish hat is seriously adorable. And there is a little hoodie with the ears on top - I LOVE those on little boys. :)

This onesie says "I love Mommy". It melted my heart! I actually started tearing up when I saw this one. I already love this little boy so much!!!
