Oh my gosh!!!

During pregnancy, you are supposed to gain 5 lbs during the first trimester and then 1 lb per week the second and third trimesters. Well, I did not gain any weight until I was about 4 months, and I only gained about 4 lbs, so I figured my baby was just going to be small. Well, today when I got ready for church, my sister came up to me and said, "You used to not be able to tell you were pregnant, and now you are getting FAT!" OMG! So, I had her take a side profile picture of me, and wow, I had no idea I was this big now. I guess Andy is just having a growth spurt. He is constantly wiggling and all over the place. At night, I will lay on my back and Tony and I just sit there and watch my belly move. Michael knows there is a baby in there, however that doesn't stop him from jumping on my back and always wanting to sit on my lap. Apparently, he hasn't noticed, or just doesn't care that my belly is getting bigger. LOL! Silly boy!

So yesterday was very eventful! I woke up super early because I couldn't sleep due to the excitement of my ultrasound! My appointment was at 12:30 and we left our house at 11:15. We arrived at the doctor's office at 12:20. My brother, his wife, their new baby, Antonio, my sister, Joseph, Mikey, Channing, and my ex-husband's sister Lisa were all there waiting to see wait they thought was my first little girl! However, I kept telling them they were going to see a little weiner. The excitement was getting to me and naturally the tech was running late so we waited about 20 minutes. Once we got in, the tech said that she needed to take a few measurements and then after she was all done she would take some pics for me and show us the different parts of the baby. After about what seemed FOREVER, the tech finally started showing us the baby. He kept scratching his head and then looked as if he were waving. It was so cute. It took forever to see what his little parts were because he had his legs crossed, just my luck. I thought we would leave the doctor not knowing what we were having and began to lose hope. For about 10 minutes the tech starting jiggling my stomach, and the baby looked like he was bouncing on a trampoline, it was so funny. Then she said alright, this is what I have been waiting for. Instead of saying, it's a boy or it's a girl, she just started typing on the screen, It's a.......BOY! Everyone was in disbelief, except me. They just couldn't believe it was another little boy! Joseph, Mikey, and Channing were so excited, and Joseph began crying because he wants to name him when he comes out. So....I agreed to let Joseph name him when he is born. So I have about 4 months to convince him that Anderson (Andy) is a good name for his little brother!

Anyways, that is about it. We are going to get a 4D ultrasound at 30 weeks, so once we do that we will post those pics.

Happy 4th of July and Happy Birthday Tony!!!

This year, we had our 2nd Annual 4th of July party/ Tony's Birthday! It was not as big this year because I did not feel like cleaning up a bunch of poppers and streamers and confetti like I did last year. Also, since we do not have a pool at this house we were all inside. However, it was a TON of fun!!! We had hamburgers, which I grilled, YAY, It was my first time grilling anything, and they turned out really good! Then we had mashed potatoes, gravy, and fried chicken! We sang happy birthday, ate cake, (that I made from scratch!!!) And then we watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. Tony had been wanting to see it for awhile now, so I figured I would buy it for his birthday! He had fun and really appreciated all the hard work I put into throwing his party! Happy Birthday Tony, I love you!!!
