Half Way There!

Wow - I can't believe I am to the half way point! I hope the next half flies by like the first. We can't wait to meet our baby boy.

He was not cooperating to get too many good photos during the sonogram but here are a few. The most important thing is all the measurements look great and he looks perfectly healthy. We will keep saying our prayers every single night for a healthy baby.

It's a Boy!

Wow! I knew it. I was sure from the beginning it was a boy. I grew up with one sister and all girl cousins. I don't have much experience with little boys. I guess I will learn as I go. Now that I know the sex, it all feels so much more real. I can't wait to start decorating the nursery and picking out things for the baby. Let the shopping begin!

Nursery Furniture

We went out to Baby 2 Teen in Manassas this weekend to order baby furniture. The staff was incredibly helpful and educated us on how to look for good quality furniture, etc. I went out there with my mind set on a different furniture set by Munire but ended up going with Pali. It was so exciting being in that store! I am getting more and more excited and am just DYING to find out the sex of our baby! We are going to find out the sex on April 30th (less than 2 weeks away!). There is a place in Fairfax where you can pay $100 bucks to see the baby in 4d and find out the sex early. Ugh, I am counting down the days!

We also got a book case and a glider chair but I can't seem to find a photo online. It reclines and will be upholstered in a light tan microfiber with white piping around the edges.

Bun in the Oven

We are excited to announce the arrival of Baby Justice in early to mid October!

It has been a long time since I have posted a blog entry. Honestly, for the last few months I have not had anything to blog about that wasn't pregnancy related. I have been absolutely exhausted and have spent every weekend on the couch in front of the tv.

I found out I was pregnant the week after Josh's 30th. I had been feeling a little off and decided to take a pregnancy test on Josh's actual birthday. The test came up negative but the next week I was still feeling a little weird. I took another test and another and another and all said POSITIVE! I was shocked - I don't know why but I was. I guess the whole parenthood thing scared me for the first week or so after finding out. However, after a week, I began to get really excited. We are so excited to find out the sex and are counting down the days!

Here are some photos from Josh's 30th Birthday celebration. :-)









I didn't even get a chance to get a pic with the hubby. Here is one of Melissa & Josh:

Las Vegas 2011

We traveled to Las Vegas for Xerox's annual Agent Owners Conference. I can't believe how much Vegas has changed in just 2 years. We stayed at the Bellagio the last time we were there in 2008. Since our last visit, there is a whole new area (right next to the Bellagio) called City Center. There are several new hotels (4, I believe). We stayed at Aria in City Center. It was a beautiful hotel. However, if you go to Vegas, I would totally recommend the brand new Cosmopolitan. It opened in December and is the most over the top, beautiful hotel I have ever been in. It definitely would be the perfect place for a bachelorette party. I felt like the girls from Sex & The City were going to pop out somewhere in that hotel.

I am so proud of my hubby and his recognition at the event. :-)

PS - I won a little over $120. Not too shabby considering I only play slot machines.
