Grizzlies Game

Mike and I went to the Grizzlies game on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. They unfortunately lost... but we still had fun. That was the first hockey game I have ever been to and now I know why people like it! The teams got into a fight halfway through the game and it was awesome. The coaches even started yelling at each other. The crowd was going crazy! Here are some pictures of the players. They had a couple of people play sumo hockey during halftime or intermission or whatever they call it, which was hilarious.

Hello!

Ok here are a few ultrasound pictures of our little guy Jaxson. If you're a woman who has had children or even seen a live ultrasound you can probably tell what you're looking at. For everyone else I tried to point it out but good luck lol.
So yesterday was actually pretty awesome. Jaxson was really active and was kicking me hard enough that I could see my tummy move a little bit. Mike was actually able to feel him without asking if that was him or not. He must have been doing somersaults too because it felt like I was going down a huge hill on a rollercoaster. It was awesome! I can't get enough of feeling him move. It makes me feel like he's really there and everything is going ok. I can't wait to start actually decorating his room. I don't want to start buying things until I know what exactly is needed... this is my first baby so I could go buy lots of stuff that isn't really as important as other things and have no clue. Any advice or free stuff is greatly appreciated lol.

It's a boy!!!
Here is Jaxson at 18 weeks. For those who aren't sure what they're looking at I'll try to help. The top right portion is his abdomen and the dark circle in the abdomen is his heart. His head is further to the right but not in the picture. His knees are bent and you can see most of his left leg. The area between is his manhood lol. Yes, indeed we are having a boy!

Jaxson's Profile

Here's a picture of Jaxson from the side. He's facing down in this one. You can see his spine and his leg curled in front of him. You can kind of see his brain which freaks me out a little lol. He's a lot bigger here than in his 14 week pictures.

Here are a few pictures of Jaxson's face... ish. They're kind of creepy because you mostly see his skull and he kind of looks a little like an alien but I still think he's cute!

There's A First Time For Everything!

Ok so I never thought I would enter the world of blogging but there's a first time for everything. I don't have any ultrasound pictures on here yet but I will soon. We have had 2 ultrasounds of Jaxson so far. I love seeing him but all it does is make we want him here even more. I have been feeling his kicks and punches for about a month now and Mike has been able to feel him for about a week. So far feeling him move around is my favorite part of being pregnant. All the other stuff I'm sure I'll warm up to... I hope! Mike and I have started putting together the nursery but still have a long way to go. This whole parenting thing is going to be a huge challenge but we're both excited to try.
