Baby Amell Update

We went back to the Dr. today, whom by the way, I love! Dr. McDaniel is great...so personal and very in depth. We went thinking it was simply a, let's see how much you weigh and how much your uterus has grown kind of appointment. However, much to our surprise, she said, "Let's go do an ultrasound just for fun!" We didn't hesitate.....we love seeing our baby! The first (and last) time we had seen "it", it was just a little "pea!" Today, it had arms, legs, fingers and toes!! You may say, of course, babies have those, but we were so excited and most of all, thankful that we could see them! Although they are only about 3 inches long right now, we love them so much already! February 18th is our next visit, where we will find if we will be decorating in pink or blue. Don't ask me how or why, but I just know it's a boy. You may all prove me wrong in 3 weeks, but it's just my feelings! And, the fact that I just believe my poor Dad deserves a "Grandson." He's lived with TOO many women over the past 25 years! I still can't express how excited we are, BOTH of us, for all that is to come....I just can't keep myself out of baby stores, wanting to buy everything I see, and again, I am drawn to BLUE!!!! I have to tell you all, that you too, should hope it's a boy. Otherwise, I'm going to have the first female to ever play football since Jared's way of "talking" to our baby is to get on his knees and yell, "Blue-42, trips-left!" Yes, my husband calls out plays to our child......does this surprise you? I have gained about 4 lbs since being pregnant and she said I need to gain more. Hello!!!!!!!! I left the Dr. and went straight to Arby's!!!!!!!!! That just gave me more incentive to EAT! WAHOO!!!! Keep up, I'll let you know in 3 weeks......pink or blue????!!!!!

Happy New Year 2009!

The New Year was brought in pretty quietly by the Amell's this year! Although not too eventful, we had a great time spending it with family and friends! 2009 is going to be an incredible year, although last year, I would not have thought it could have been topped. I thought getting married was the happiest day of my life and it will be until the day comes that I will become a Mom, a long awaited dream of mine. Jared and I are thrilled more than words can express and God bless him for being such a wonderful husband to me, especially lately! I thought it couldn't get any better, but how things change! So, Happy New Year, it's going to be an exciting one!!!!!
