baby !!!!!
yep, it(according to my dr.) is absolutely gorgeous!! all ten fingers , all ten toes, all major organs accounted for. although baby didn't cooperate much and stayed snuggled up close to my belly most of the time the us tech was able to get us some great pictures!!. I even endulged in pancakes and oj thinking it would make the baby do gymnastics during the exam... but no.... it just seemed pretty sleepy.. though it did wave its little hand a few times, so that was pretty cute!! baby was actually measuring a week ahead, so now I pretty much have no clue of the due date (as I have now heard 3).so I can NOT believe that I didn't cave and find out the gender.
Andrew didn't want to find out with either of the first two..... but I am a planner... gosh, darn it and have priorities: of getting a nursery decorated and getting those first bits of clothing hanging in the closet!!
so the last couple months ,I had been saying that I would respect my husband's wishes for this (possible) last child we have and let us be surprised. On Monday night, he and I were talking, and I was really trying hard to sway his mind.
Well, yesterday at MOPS (mothers of preschoolers), our speaker talked about "respecting our husbands". It was actually the coolest talk I have heard in a long time and put so much into perspective, about why men do and think the things they do. We as wives now know this bit of secret information, and can act accordingly towards our man to create a happy home, one that he will want to be a part of. =)
She spoke on lots of different topics giving our surface understanding of it, and then what it means in practice. She used lots of scripture to back up the points found in an excellent book (which I am buying this weekend =P), called "for women only", by Shaunti Feldhahn.
so basically after hearing this talk, I decided it was not too hard for me to honor and respect Andrew's wishes of being surprised on delivery day!

well, I am busy assembling v-day goodies for Brigham's class party tomorrow, and I have cookies baking in the oven. We are going to decorate them after naptime. Between our busy outings this past weekend(because the weather was FABULOUS here!) I managed to get some scrapping done. Not all of these are new, but I don't know that I have shared them on my blog before. apparantly this is a shrine to miss T.!!! lol
I'll post later with our little heart day creations!

YEAH! So excited you guys are waiting until the delivery room. We didn't know with any of our three - and it was amazing each time to find out in that wonderful moment. You have one of each at this point - so just go through your tubs ahead of time, pull out anything gender-neutral, and know that you can wash up any other needed things right when you get home from the hospital. Sounds like the MOPS speaker was awesome. So glad that is going well for you! Again, congrats!!!!

Okay Liz, I guess I'm the ONLY one that bummed that you didn't cave in and find out the gneder!!! I'm dying to know! We should find out on March 2nd if the baby cooperates. I'm a planner too and I also love to have the baby named so that I can pray for it specifically by name before it is born. However, I'm sure finding out the gender at birth will be exciting. I'm sure the ultrasound was awesome and we are sure excited about the one we have coming up in a few weeks.
