Been too long!

Let me first say that I am sorry that it has been so long since my last update! Biscuit, Brad and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. We spent New Years with some of Brad's family and my parents at a cabin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma and had a wonderful time. I had a tiny bump at Thanksgiving and through the Holidays. Since the first of the year, Biscuit has really started making an appearance! I officially can't wear anything BUT maternity pants. I am pretty sure that it is now obvious that I am pregnant and not just gaining a few pounds. :)

A lot of big things have happened in Biscuit's little life since my last post! On January 8th, I felt the baby move for the first time. At first I thought it was a gas bubble, but then I thought about where it was and realized that it probably wasn't gas. I felt it sporadically for the next week or so. Brad and I went to an auction on the 16th and he really went crazy moving around in there when he heard the auctioneer (this made daddy very proud). I am now feeling him pretty consistently throughout the day, but it still feels more like a tickle than a kick. We have tried, but Brad has not been able to feel him from the outside of my belly yet! He is looking forward to that anxiously!

On January 13th, we found out that Biscuit is A BOY! Brad and I could not be more excited! Brad actually did a little dance in the ultrasound room when it was made official. I think that was the proudest I have seen him yet. Biscuit was actually grabbing his little boy parts during the ultrasound, and that gave us a good laugh. We also found out that Biscuit is a BIG boy! At that point (18 weeks) he should have weighed about 6.7 ounces on average. Biscuit measured at about 8 ounces! Maybe we'll have a little football player after all :)

The weekend after we found out that we were having a boy, we painted his room. The walls are dark brown and the ceiling is bright turquoise. We love it!

We do not have a name picked out yet, we have three that we are considering but no consensus yet. Hopefully we can make up our minds soon so that we can call Biscuit by his real name!

I think that about covers the big stuff I needed to catch up on. I will be better about posting in the future!
