boy oh boy, we're having a BOY!!

I'm 15 weeks! Only 24 more weeks to go...

 

What's been going on? So obviously the most exciting new's we heard this past week was that we were 100% confirmed having a sweet baby boy!!! We are so excited to welcome our first son, Henry, into the world. I had the neatest experience ever at this outpatient ultrasound facility called, "A Stork's View". It was $69 for a gender confirmation. You get to see your baby on a big flat screen and hear it's sweet heart beat too. It truly was such a neat experience for my husband, mother in law, and me. I can't wait to go back and do the 3D sonogram with my parents! Our little one was just as calm and chill as he was last screening test. He made the nurse really work to see the goods, but we got him to finally uncross his tiny little legs and there it was, verified and confirmed B-O-Y! I honestly couldn't be happier. My husband thinks this kid is going to be his little play toy, but we know where a son's true love lies <3
We haven't officially picked the middle name. We like:

Henry George Dovel
Henry Aveson Dovel
Henry David Dovel



What's current with Baby D, C, and me? This past weekend my husband and I spent our last baby free vacation alone! We opted to head to Savannah for a little getaway before the holiday crazies set in. We really had a nice time touring the historic city, window shopping, eating pralines and watching all the local wonders. We had the best dinner at "The Old Pink House" and had a fun time on the "Hearse Tour" at midnight. We know our next parents only getaway will probably not be for a very....long.... time :) Maybe we will sneak in something before Henry get's here! ;)

I am going to another appointment tomorrow to see how well baby and mom (yippie that's me!) are doing. I always love hearing his strong heart beating. I am still pretty "small" in belly size, still looking forward to a more filled out, full look :) My jeans still fit but now I have adopted the hair tie-buckle-loop do-woop that works great. So far I have gained 6 pounds in 15 weeks.... not bad. Hopefully I will only gain 30 pounds MAX. haha... we will be hopeful :)

In other news, we are buying a house! Crazy, I know. But, our rent went up on us to a point that's not worth a 2 bedroom tiny apartment AND even though our upstairs neighbors moved out, we are just so.over.renting!!!! So little starter home it is. We just want something quaint, cute, CHEAP, and safe. We are looking at homes in Bartram Springs because the school system is great, the neighborhoods are very family oriented, the amenities are wonderful, and it's closer for chris' job in GCS. We are relying on good ole Suze Orman for financial and real estate guidance. That woman is brilliant!
