Yes, we are expecting! We found out today that unlike our ultrasonographer's previous guess of a boy at 11 weeks, we are actually having a girl!!!! I am tickled pink! ;)
When I first found out I was pregnant I was sure that I was having a girl. Call it mother's instinct, but I really felt like it, and when I read up on all of the "old wive's tales" I fit all (ok most...some of them are a little wacky) of the girl categories. So when our sonogram showed what definitely looked like a boy at 11 weeks, I was a little sad. I will admit, I shed a few tears (darn pregnancy hormones!) but after a day of thinking it over, I was excited for a boy.
When it came time for our appointment this week, I was ready for the gender confirmation, but still had a slight hope that I would get to buy some pink. Nick was going to meet me at the doctor's because he had class, and didn't make it in time for the beginning of my appointment. I was already in little-girl heaven when Nick showed up for the last few minutes of the sonogram and he too found out the good news.
Of course I already bought a few boy's clothes, so we will have to plan on some in the future! :) Here's few shots of my slowly growing tummy over the past few weeks. I can't tell much of a difference usually, and I think it mostly depends on what I am wearing. I think I can feel her moving, but I am not really sure since I have never done this before!
15 weeks....
16 weeks....
17 weeks...
18 weeks....
Wow I look really white in my 17 week picture. Hopefully it's the lighting?? I am healthy, have gained 2 lbs so far, and baby weighs about 9 oz. She's in the 40th percentile for now, so a decent sized baby. They checked out her heart, spinal cord, brain, kidneys, and a few other things and they all look great. And no cleft palate! A dental hygienist's dream baby. I will post some pictures of our sweet pea soon. Stay tuned!
The three of us...I look enormous but I promise it is because I have a big puffy down jacket underneath plus about 5 other layers. It was cold still!
An AMAZING show,
16 weeks....
18 weeks....
So excited we can hardly stand it!

Seattle skyline from the beach...kind of dark
This was my favorite house...it's hard to see but all of the angles of the house are cartoon-ish, and inside each window was a little scene like a barber's, doctor's office, fire station, etc and they were all made completely of candy. Very intricate! 
The ice castle
Firemen saving Santa who is stuck in the chimney!
One of the rooms in my favorite house....
Mom and Mario...yes, all candy
This was pretty awesome...it was made to look like some kid's desk and even the wood, comic book, staplers, lamp were all candy.

Check out the edible comic book, cardboard, wood, and everything! Click on the picture for a closer look.
3 of the 4 Wilson brothers....
Jenni and Avery....
Many years ago (6 years actually) we had a New Year's get together with the Wilsons and took a picture just like this one. I was hoping I could find it and compare the two, but I have yet to find it. Still a cute picture!
Brian and Kyle playing frisbee....
Nice catch, Nick!
Avery, Natasha, Serena, and Christopher hanging out...
All of the kids love riding on the scooters...
We took some family pictures (Christina do you have some? I don't have any family ones!) and I got a few shots while we were setting up...
These were the lovely Seattle conditions our poor photographer and her assistant had to work under!
Wilson family 3....soon to be 4!
