Well had my ultra sound yesterday :) wasn't to impressed with the tech :( I mean, I had Blake and Maycee in there plus my mother and younger sister came. This was the first time Rachel had ever seen an ultra sound done and the tech was just a DUD!!! She didnt explain anything and when you asked a question she gave the shortest answer she could and was back to her business. She just didn't make it enjoyable at all.... Oh well..... not alot I can do about it.
The tech of coarse checked for the gender (since we did not get a "for sure" answer from the doctor) and unfortunately we got the same response form the tech. "Well, im not really seeing a whole lot going on down there..... it looks like its a girl." Not very reassuring AT ALL!!!! However, we have heard that twice now from two different resources so odds are ITS A GIRL!!!! (there still is that very slim doubt in my mind, hopefully that will pass.... Im just terrified that I will have been "bonding" with a girl for 9 months and then they hand me a boy..... that would be really hard for me I think)
ANOTHER GIRL THOUGH.... How exciting!! Blake and I are really happy about it. We are excited for Maycee to have a little sister that she can be best buds with (hopefully) and that we can dress them with matching outfits and stuff :) Plus we already have a ton of pink so financially that is better for us :)
Anyway, with the good news out of the way lets move on to some more good news.....
I promised a prize for the person that picked the correct gender :)
19 out of 30 of you picked GIRL in the post that I did a while ago but I only picked 1 lucky winner from the hat! That winner is ....... drum roll please.............
ASHLEY KELEPOLO!!!!!
Congratulations you have won a NEW SONIC GIFT CARD with the amount of 5 dollars attached! (You have a Sonic in Egar right?)
Better luck to the rest of you next time :)

Ooo I love the way you...
I LOVE BLAKE!!!
I love the way that he loves Maycee!
Just the last few days I have really noticed how much he really loves his little girl! I mean it has always been obvious, but lately its just been really profound. It is so amazing to see! These two love playing together!!! Only Blake can get her to actually LAUGH! I love to hear her laugh, and I love that Blake can get her to do it. She loves her dad so much!
Today I was getting ready to leave for work and Blake called to let me know that he was on the way home. He said that he wanted Maycee to stay with him while I went to work. I was kinda surprised. You could tell he really wanted her there, not just to give me a break.
I am just so greatful that I am blessed with such a loving husband that loves me and our little girl! I am excited to see the two become even better friends when the new baby gets here.
I love you Blake!

News. Thoughts. And a whole lot of nonsense.
LUNCH doesn't get any better than: Homemade turkey and avocado sandwich on a whole wheat bun with miracle whip and brown spicy mustard. Choice of fruit on the side and a cold glass of filtered water. :) Even Maycee scarfed it down!
Our yard is One CAR Less: The camry has left our presence forever! Bitter Sweet. Jose and his friends came and picked it and the title up last night for $500. They got a smokin' deal. Literally. The car drives but it has problems. We don't know exactly what is wrong with it. It could last another year, it could last another day. We weren't willing to find out :) That poor car has seen better days but we were happy to see it go!
I just love the sound that a knife makes when you pull it out of the block.... ZWING! Mine do anyway. Anyone else?
Click... Click... Click! Maycee has learned to click her tongue. She walks around the house, click... click... click. Little stinker won't let me get it on video though!
Why haven't I learned that its so much easier to WASH the DISH (pot or pan) right after dinner is over. I always seem to wait several days, its a terrible, terrible habit.
Blake is all registered for SCHOOL! Its gonna be a fun semester. Only 2 classes but its what we both need right now.
I have an official date for the drawing of the "unknown prize". It will be on the 31st of August, sometime after I get home from my next ultra sound. I will know for sure by then if this baby inside is truly a girl or, on the slim chance, a slow developing boy.
Oh! And I almost forgot.... drumb roll please..... my last day of work is this coming TUESDAY!!! After 4 years and about 9 days I have decided its time to be a Stay-at-Home MOM! Of coarse I am sad to not be able to spend time with Jack and his family so much but this is what MY FAMILY needs right now, ME! I am so grataeful for the friendship that the Thomas Family has show to me (and Blake and Maycee). They have truly been a blessing in our lives.
Growing Up: Maycee sleeps on a "Big Girl Bed" now! Well its just a toddler bed but I can't believe it! She transitioned so well. Slept great on it the first time and hasn't gone back. Now we just need to decide if we keep her in the same room with new little sister or split them up? Blake and I are in disagreement about this one. Good thing we have about 5 months to decide. Whats your advice?

NOT Official
POLES ARE CLOSED!!!
Thank you to everyone that participated in the recent voting.
Poles are closed however no winner will be decided until further notice. :)
I had my first doctors visit today. I wasn't sure if Dr. was going to do an ultra sound but he did!!!! I was so excited when he mentioned that he was. However it was a limited ultra sound and we couldn't get a supper good picture of the "gender area" (he DID give it a valiant effort, the little peanut was uncooperative)
He asked, "Do you want to know what it is"?
"Yes", I said with like a "duh" sound in my voice (but not in a rude way).
He said, "Well its a......................................................................................." It was seriously like 10 seconds. "Well, I'm not getting a very good picture but it looks like a girl."
We talked about it for a bit. He couldn't get a very good shot but he wasn't really seeing anything "protruding" and also did say he saw what look like the female anatomy. He gave me very good odds for a baby girl. 90%. I told him those were pretty good odds. :)
So there you have it. It looks like a GIRL!!! I don't want to pull any names out of a hat until we have a FOR SURE. So give me about 3 more weeks (that's when my complete ultra sound is scheduled) and we will pick an official winner then.
Blake and I are both VERY excited for the little one! :) Now we just need a name......
If anyone is curious...... the baby was measuring a week smaller which puts my due date around the 21st of January. But he said until another ultra sound he doesn't want to move the due date. So it is still 1-11-11 :) I did kind joke that it would be cool if he could induce me on the 11th because it would be a cool birthday and he said "we could probably work that out" Which kinda surprised me that he was up for it...... but we will see.....
