It's a....

Today at 2:00 p.m. Logan and I went to have our 20 week sonogram. We found out that we are going to be blessed with a baby GIRL!!!!! Both of us are completely thrilled! As you can see from the countdown above, her name will be Emmalyn Faith Powell. My mother's middle name is 'Lynn,' but that's the only family name part of it. We love how old fashioned it sounds as well. 'Emmie' will be her nickname.

The sonographer gave us two pictures of her sweet little face. I will be uploading those tomorrow! He and the doctor said everything looked absolutely perfect! We can't wait to meet our sweet little girl who is perfectly on target for my original due date.

NOVEMBER 8...HERE WE COME!

p.s. Here I am right before our appointment at 20 weeks, 3 days.

Pretty...

I LOVE the Dallas Arboretum! There are always new things to see and experience there. I had the priviledge of going with my mother-in-law today, and although it was hot, it was lots of fun! I got great ideas for places to bring our little one to get his/her picture made in the future. I decided to take some shots of some of the flowers.

P.S. I think I'm actually looking like I have a little baby bump! Will post a pic on Wed when we go for our 20 week appt!

Free at last, Free at last

Today is my SECOND official day of summer, and I'm SO loving it! Zeus and I are starting a ritual of getting up at 7:30 to go on a 2 mile walk....any later and it would get REALLY hot. I have gotten so many little things done around the apartment, actually COOKED DINNER for Logan yesterday, and have time to catch up on Facebook! Ah! Life. Is. Good.

ALSO, this week is full of birthdays for my family. Sunday was Dad's; today is Drew's, and Friday is Kenzie's. Whew! I wish I could be with them this week but am so glad we all get to go to Florida in a few weeks instead!

The countdown is on for our 20 week ultrasound...we go in on the 24th...and let's just say not a moment TOO SOON! Logan and I are dying to find out the gender of this sweet baby, so we can start calling him/her by the name we have picked out. Name will be announced on the 24th!

Below is a picture of my good friend, Jaime, and I at Bonham's graduation. We were the cool teachers in our sweet shades...

Tickle, Tickle

I realized after speaking to few moms yesterday that I have been feeling my baby move for over a week now! It feels like something tickling me! I'm so excited about getting to feel him/her...but I know in a few months my lovely sleep time will suffer because of all the punches and kicks.
