The Big Reveal....

We are so excited about this gender reveal.  I have really been thinking that this is a boy.  First off the pregnancy's have been very different.  I wasn't sick with Allie, and this go round I was pretty green until 12 weeks.  With Allie I craved spicy foods, mustard, jalapenos etc & I had tons of  heartburn- ALL the time ( no matter if I just had water).   This go around, I started off craving Italian food, then it moved to "home cookin" comfort food.  GRAVY & lots of it! :)   I also haven't had any heart burn yet, (knock on wood- I don't remember when it started last time...)  All of my friends also guessed it was a boy, and the name we picked out was Anderson Darrel Stuart.   Nice strong name, nick name was going to be Anders or Ders... it was so planned out!

Friday we went in for our elective sonogram at 17 weeks.  We will do the full anatomy scan in 2-3 more weeks.  We decided to do the gender reveal early since Miss Natalie will be arriving any day now, and we want it to be "all about her" when her time is here!!  When we got there the ladies told us that there has been an ALL BOY streak for the week- every single gender reveal they did was a boy... would be be follow suit? or would we break the mold??   The baby was very active on the sonogram.  Waving arms, moving its mouth and kicking all around. Very cute sono!!   (Also everything looked good at the sonogram. Arms, legs, brain, heart etc)

When we left I had the ladies call my friend Alyssa with the news. She then put a goodie basket together and met us at the park.  We still had no idea for the rest of the day what it was going to be... the pictures can tell the rest!!





Special thanks to my sweet friend Heather with Heatherbelle Photography for doing these sweet pictures for us.  She created a really cute video with the pictures and I'll try to upload it if I can figure out how...  Oh I also have video of the sonogram- if I remember, and can figure out how I'll upload that to the blog as well...  So its a girl!! We are suprised, but oh so excited! (I also guessed wrong with Allie- I thought she was a boy too)
