Happppy Birthdayyy to Me & Happy Newww Yearr!!

So having a birthday on New Year's Eve is not my favorite thing. 

One, its close to Christmas. 

I wish my holiday were more spread out.

Two, its in the winter & there were NOT a lot of options for birthday parties in the middle of a snow storm.

Three, most people now that were are older, have made their own plans. 

So I took it upon myself to pretend that everyone is out for new years celebrating me.

Hahah, quite delusional, I know. 

But this makes it fun!!

Happy New Year's Eve, thanks for having a drink for me ;)

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

The husband, my mother and I spent the morning at our hospital waiting for my gender ultra sound!!!

It was like my Christmas Eve to me last night. 

Not being able to sleep, tossing and turning and anxiously awaiting the morning!!

Well 9am, thankfully finally rolled around and I was up and ready to go in now time. 

The ultrasound took about an hour and oh what a painful hour. 

The baby was laying on my superior vena cava. 

 "The Superior Vena cava (also known as the cava or cva) is a large diameter, yet short, vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart's right atrium." (Thank you Wikipedia)

This caused me to get really dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous and lead to me throwing up twice during the hour.

Poor Ultra Sound tech!! 

But the baby looked amazing!!

Perfect little limbs, saw a great preview of the face & even a little smile!!!

Lastly we found out the GENDER!!!!

We couldn't be more happy!!!

We are still working on our little boys name, although we have some ideas!!

Can't wait for these next 5 months to unfold!!
