it's only $20,000...

as i was browsing baby websites this afternoon, i came across this ridiculous crib. here are some pictures...i hope no one has ever purchased this item.

i would rather buy a car!

funfilled weekend

this past weekend i was finally able to make a trip to dallas to visit my family. it was very needed. i have missed them so much especially since i'm pregnant. i wish we all lived closer. but since dallas isn't too far...i hopped in the car with my in laws and they graciously took me to my parents. it was such a great weekend. my mom, lindsey, and i went out saturday and got pedicures, ate a good lunch at mi cocina...sooo good. (no mi cocinas in houston : / ), and then went shopping...it was fun to do something like that considering its rare when the three of us are all together. i'm so grateful for this weekend and the time i was able to spend with them. i was able to spend time with some of my extended family that i haven't seen in awhile, and i was even able to spend time with one of my closest friends, jessie.

since i was around my sister the photographer this past weekend...she was able to snap one of many photos of my pregnant belly. i haven't been very good about keeping updated belly pics up...here is one from this past weekend at 20 weeks along.

it's a boy!!

well we found out today that we are having a boy! my instinct was right! it was so awesome sitting there watching our sweet baby boy move around for 30 minutes. he was all over the place...just like his dad : )

everything is perfect. no concerns what so ever which is reassuring. what a blessing. we tried filming it, but the ultrasound lady was not friendly at all, and would not allow the camera in the room. we were able to get several free 4D pictures which are incredible!

here are some pictures...
