pacifiers and desitin, oh the things we must buy!

its a boy

so obviously we have some big news! it's official that we are having a baby boy! we are really excited about it. i always wanted a boy first because i have such great big brothers, and i love it. we have been looking at lots and lots of baby stuff and i am a little overwhelmed with all that we are going to need to buy. i made a list and it's monsterous. the good news is that we made one of our major purchases today, we bought him a crib! it is really cute, and it's pretty unisex so that when we have a girl she could use it too. (side note: i really hate winnie the pooh, i just thought that this was the best announcement!)

today i also went to my best friends baby shower, her name is amber. we have been friends for over ten years and i love her dearly. we always wanted to have babies together and i am so glad that this is happening! the only bad part is that she is living in arizona at the moment. but i still love having someone to talk to about all the crazy things that are happening yay for seeing old friends!

Hey, I will be copying and printing that list. Jeff better get to work:)
I was just thinking about you today and wondering when you were going to the doc again. So I guess now he is 100% that it is a boy? I am so jealous that you guys already know! We are still like 6 weeks away from knowing.
Can't wait to carpool again and catch up! Oh and I was thinking we should park at the park and ride across the street from the old meeting place. Talk to you soon!
