Baby Shower

Well guys, it looks like 68% of you were wrong, both me and Ryan included. We're having a baby boy, (as if you couldn't tell from Ryan's post). We were quite shocked when we saw the ultrasound, we were so sure the baby was a girl and so was pretty much everyone else in the family. We're very excited to be having a baby boy, though, and Ryan is quite proud of himself that he has produced a male heir. I'm just glad that I've found some cute boy clothes at the stores lately. Usually you can only find cute girl stuff so this was a big worry of mine. What is the point of having a baby if you can't buy lots of cute clothes to dress them up in? Just kidding.

While my sister Sheri and I were home for Christmas we had a joint baby shower with some friends and ladies from our old ward. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad that so many people were able to come despite the horrible weather.

And here we are doing synchronized present opening. There are way too many pictures so I'll just show the highlights.

Here are some cute hats we got.

My sister in law Ashley made us these adorable shoes.

She also made us bed skirts for our cribs, but these were Christmas presents. She did such a good job on it. I'm very impressed.

Another girl made us these baby slings. We were practicing putting them on and carrying dolls around. It was lots of fun. I can't believe how crafty some people are.

This is the little outfit my mom got me. It is so dang cute!

And these are some other clothes I got. I got more than this but since pretty much only my family reads this, I'm just showing you the ones from my family. The dark blue one with a lion on it is from my sister Sarah, the little blue hoodie jacket isn't from family but it's just too dang cute not to show, and I bought the other two with a "gift card" from my mom. Shopping for baby clothes is so much fun I couldn't resist.

And these little shoes are from my sister Julie. She got Pumas so our little boy can match his daddy. These were Ryan's favorite present. Aren't they just adorable?

Now we're home and we're trying to get the baby room started while Ryan doesn't have to go to school. We bought our crib yesterday, thanks mom! And we started taking the ugly wallpaper down last night. I'll post more pictures of the crib and the room renovation in another post. I am just getting so big, though, so I thought I'd post another belly picture. This was taken yesterday.

It's a good thing I got some maternity clothes for Christmas so I can wear pants again.

Also, I just wanted to post this picture cause it's funny. When we got back to Provo from St. Louis, we had all these icicles hanging down from our roof. Ryan had a lot of fun knocking them all down. Here he is holding the biggest one.
