It's a...!!!

Well, it's official the Sanders' family is growing, and I am outnumbered. It's a boy! I couldn't be more thrilled. Jason and I are so excited about football games, baseball gloves, and all the other fun stuff that comes along with having a boy. We are still looking for a name for this upcoming bundle of joy; hopefully, we will come up with one soon. For right now we are still referring to him as "the baby."

At my last appointment the doctor assured us that all is well with our son and me. The baby is in 89th percentile for his size...oh my gosh, he is already 11 ounces. He was measuring about a week and a half ahead of schedule. I'm blaming his daddy for that. The ultrasound was amazing. We counted 2 arms and legs, saw his heart, stomach, eyes, and witnessed our little boy with the hiccups. As Jason said, he gets that from me. It was unreal to see how much he has grown from the first ultrasound to now. That was my last scheduled ultrasound, but the doctor said that he would try to get us in for another one before the delivery day. I think he knows how anxious we are.

I have been reading lots of information on the baby, and apparently he can now hear me. Jason and I have been reading to him every night. I don't think the baby has a favorite book yet, but I am sure he will have one before long.

Weekend of Fun

Over the weekend Jason and I had a new experience. We went with 4 other couples to Hot Springs, NC for a weekend of camping and whitewater rafting...don't worry, I didn't raft. The water levels were VERY low so Jason and the other couples spent a great deal of time pushing themselves off the rocks. Although they worked hard and were all sore the next day, they seemed to have a great time.

While there we stayed in our good friends Derek and Rachel's camper. Although we had lots of fun I'm not sure camping is really for me. I enjoyed everything except the bath house (which made me feel like I was back in college) and the bugs. I saw enough spiders and other creepy crawlers to last for quite some time. It was really fun to roast marshmellows, grill hamburgers and hotdogs, and do a lot of relaxing. On the bright side, I can at least say that now I have really camped.

Week at the Beach

Boy, it has been awhile since we have posted. I have been very busy trying to squeeze in as much last minute fun as possible before school starts back. I went to the beach last week with my parents and sister. We had lots of fun. We stayed at the Dayton House in Myrtle Beach. It was a beautiful hotel with lots of pools and even a lazy river to relax in. We all enjoyed relaxing in the lazy river, but Corri and I spent lots of time there. Of course there was lots of eating out and some shopping too. The baby got some more cute new outfits. We are getting anxious to know if this baby is a boy or girl. We go for our next appointment on August 19th. We hope to be able to find out then. As far as the pregnancy, everything seems to be coming along nicely. The baby is doing fine. I still haven't felt any movements, but hopefully that will be soon. We are all doing well and staying busy preparing for this little one.
