My Sweet Anders and his different faces

Anders has so many facial expressions....I love and cherish them all.  Here are some of them that his talented Aunt Yuriko and Uncle Erik caught on camera.

It's a baby......

When I was pregnant with Anders, Jeff and I decided not to find out the gender of our baby.  I loved this decision.  In the nine months leading up to Anders birth, it was fun to speculate the gender, to play guessing games, to pick out a boy and a girl names, and to finally make the "big"  announcement at the hospital when he arrived.  With this pregnancy however, I decided I really wanted to know the gender ahead of time.  So after much persuasion and a little help from a sweet lady from our church, I was able to convince Jeff that this time around we needed to find out.  Jeff did agree, but made a few stipulations- he would be the one to find out the gender first and he would decide how to make the big announcement.  So last Saturday he revealed the results from our sonogram, Jeff style.

Everyone loved the surprise announcement, and the ice cream cake.  We are so very excited about our baby girl on the way.  Pink....bows.....lace.....and frills- here we come.  We are very blessed.

2nd Semester is OVER!!! Just 2 more to go.

Turned in my last final today of my 2nd semester RN program....and let out a big HOORAY.  Here are just a few pictures from this past semester (promise to do better and take more in the future).

 Matt checking for nasogastric tube placement during skills lab.....way to go Matt.  We are officially done with skills lab.....Mr. Ima Hurt we will miss you.

 Everyone needs a little reminder of hyperthryoidism...Anna sporting Michelle's thyroid presentation handout (it is in the shape of a thyroid....very funny at the time).

My Little Monkey

I went to grab something from the kitchen, only to come back and find the little man standing not ridding on his truck.  I think we have reached the "climbing" stage.

Anders- you are so funny!

Anders has just recently discovered that he can make people laugh.  Here is his most recent funny face.

Thanks Uncle Erik and Auntie Yuriko for the great pictures.

Happy Mother's Day

Spent most of the day with my guys.  Jeff and Anders were sweet and made me some "mommy" t-shirts.

 At 21 weeks...the t-shirts won't fit much longer- maternity clothes here I come.
