We are having a...
Hi Everyone!
Well the moment that we have all been waiting for. The one where I get to tell you what gender my new special one will be. But, before I say that I want to say that watching the ultrasound was one of the best experiences of my life. The baby is healthy, strong, and looking great! We could see all sorts of bones (including ribs, nose bone, leg bones, arm bones, and the spine). Also, we saw the kidneys, stomach, and heart beating (which was a strong heartbeat of 150 beats per minute). We are so thankful our little one is growing strong and beautiful. We consider ourselves richly blessed because of it. During Conference on Sunday the baby was moving and Mark got to feel it a few times. It was wonderful because it was during Elder Ballard's talk on mothers. What a precious moment. And now, without further ado, we are having a boy! We haven't really settled on a name yet but for now we really like Spencer. This picture is of his head and cute little foot. He was folded in half during most of the ultrasound.

Nephews are a joy!
This week has been fun and very eventful. On Friday I picked up my 18 month old nephew to watch him for a week while his parents are going on a cruise. His name is Matt and he was so much fun to have around. He is the one in the picture. We couldn't help but play with Mark's sunglasses. Matt is fearless and knows how to pull on your heart strings. Oh, and if you say no he gives you the most adorable scowl you will ever see. On Saturday, Mark and I went to our oldest nephew's baptism, Lincoln. It was wonderful to be reminded of the great blessings baptism and confirmation bring into our live; especially with family. Also on Saturday we got to see all of our nephews except two of them which was great. They grow up so fast and we love each of them. That is all for now. Tune in next week to find out if we are having a boy or girl!
