It's a.....

It's a BOY!!! 

We had it written down so we couldn't see it during the ultrasound and gave the envelope to Emilee and Julie who went to the store and got the balloons for us. We were so sure it would be a girl, so it was definitely a surprise! The weekend after we found out, we went up to Riverton to share the news with Jon's family. We had ordered a bunch of cupcakes with colored frosting on the inside so you had to take a bite to find out if it was a pink (for a girl) or blue (for a boy).

 

It kind of sounds like they are booing, but they aren't. They are saying "Yay!" with cupcake in their mouths. The next day at a Memorial Day BBQ, we told my family the same way:

We are still trying to get over the shock of it all, but we are really excited for Baby Boy to join us in November!

May Photo Dump

This is what our fridge looked like at the beginning of May. We seriously ate almost everything in our fridge and freezer and cupboards while I was sick because I never felt well enough to go the the store, and anything we DID get from the store would usually make me want to throw up the second I opened the fridge and looked at it. Don't worry, we have food again. 

Eggo waffles have been the only thing I will eat first thing in the morning all month since cereal and milk tended to make me sicker for some reason. But I'm not complaining. :)

Jon keeps saying these marshmallows have been one of the greatest investments we have made for the pregnancy. For some reason, I love sniffing them. Whether I feel sick or not, these smell so good! I haven't eaten them or opened the bag. I just sniff them. Don't judge. 

We saw these at Blickenstaff's while on a little stroll through the Riverwoods. Jon really wanted to get one for fun, but I didn't think  it was worth $10 to predict our baby's future. Ha ha ha. 

I always tell Jon not to get me anything for mothers day, and I really mean it too. I don't really feel like I need or want anything, especially since I'm not officially a mom yet. But he always gets me something anyway. He's so sweet.
