Maternity Clothes...

So I finally went out and bought some maternity clothes on friday. I made my friend Kathie come with me and we went to the maternity store. They did not have any cute clothes...I take that back. I found a cute skirt that I bought and then I got a 'tummy sleeve'. It's pretty much a little tube top type thing that you wear over your belly instead of your torso so you can wear your normal pants and this thing hides the fact that the pants aren't buttoned (or zipped...)...hehehe.

The jeans that they had at the maternity store were all about 3 inches too short for me...So I didn't buy any there but we went to Old Navy because our friend Heather said they had good maternity pants and they did! The had the pants in normal sizes (instead of just small medium and large) and they had short, regular and long too. I was very happy!!!

So there's my saga of maternity clothes so far...the tummy sleeve works wonderfully over my non-pregnant jeans and if it sticks out from under my shirts it just looks like a tank top.

Kathie and I ventured into Mervyns and all it's going out of business glory looking for maternity clothes (this was before we made our way to Old Navy). They did not have a maternity section anymore but we noticed that all the baby clothes were 70% off...so of course we went over there. I got about $75 worth of baby clothes for only $30!!! It was awesome! And no mom and dad...I didn't just buy things for Lowe! I bought some stuff for Dave and Lindsey's baby too!!! Kathie on the other hand bought stuff for Lowe and was like "Alright, I'm almost done shopping for your baby shower!" It was pretty funny...especially when she told me I was going to just forget about it between now and the baby shower!

So there was my fun friday of shopping at the mall...yeah to sales and maternity clothes that are cute and baby clothes for our little boy!!!

The House

So I finally got around to taking pictures of our house...so here they all are!!! I'm not sure what order they'll show up on the post so there's the living room with the couches, the kitchen, dining room, backyard (with grass and lemon tree), the room with the futon in the office and the other one with the fish tank will be the baby's room, the upstairs hall bathroom, the master bedroom, master bath and walk in closet!!! Yeah to our house!

Baby Boy Lowe!!!

So here are our sonogram pictures of our little baby boy!!!! He was being stubborn and stayed in one position for like 7 minutes!!! The sonogram tech kept trying to get him to move but he just stayed there.

The first two pics are just side views of our little boy. He's so cute!

The third pic is the position he would not get out of. Little weirdo is already doing yoga...yeah to downward facing dog.

In the fourth one, his head is on the right hand side and that's his little hand up in the center in the middle.

He's obviously a little boy as you can see in the last picture...hehehe how embarrassing!








So we are extremely excited and cannot wait for him to come. Yeah to having a little boy!

Thanksgiving!!!

Every Thanksgiving our mom makes us wait to eat our delicious turkey dinner until we've all said at least two things we're thankful for. All the food is out on the table, everyone is at the table waiting...and waiting...and waiting...so mom pulls out the corn kernels and puts two on everyone's plate and than we go around the table and say things we're thankful for...of course we're not supposed to repeat items that have been said so the first kid is always like "I'm thankful for the food and my family." So the rest of us have to actually think about the things we're saying we're thankful for!!!

So here are some things I'm thankful for:

Tyler
Family
Health
My pregnancy ;)
Our house
Friends
Church

Just about everything I've been blessed with!!! Yeah to being thankful!!!

26 days to know...

So we went to the doctor today and everything is going fine with the pregnancy. We get to find out on December 1st whether our baby is a boy or a girl!!! AND WE CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!

The appointment is at 330pm...so it's in the afternoon and I'm going to have to wait until after school to find out! I hope the day goes by quickly!

As a good friend put it...thanks Heather..."You have a belly!". My nursing school friends all agreed that I had grown a belly over the weekend. It's funny because I really have grown a little tiny pregnant belly it seems...over the weekend. Tyler tells me not to stick my belly out but I'm not sticking it out ever anymore. I think that I'm just getting used to being pregnant and don't care that I'm getting chubby! Now in reality, I've had the blessing of the "Joslin Genes" and have never had a weight issue so gaining weight and having a belly are very foreign things to me but I am enjoying them beyond anything in this world!

So vote on what gender of baby you think Tyler and I are going to have!!! Yea to babies!!! (Just to be clear, both our NP and the MD say there's only one baby in me so sorry dad...no little triplets or any sort of multiples!)

We're 13 weeks and 2 days along...

YEAH!!!! So to everyone that didn't already know...Tyler and I are expecting our first baby! We found out back in late August, early September and we are so excited about it. We won't know until early December whether we're having a boy or girl and we definitely want to know what we're having!!!

I am due on May 1st...two weeks and a day before graduation!!! AHHH!!! But it's perfect timing I think. I'll have time to recouperate before my one final and then there will be lots of family around to watch the baby while I walk during my graduation from nursing school!!! Oh so exciting!!!

We will post some pictures once I start to get chubby and some of the ultrasound after we get it in December...yeah!!!
