Happenings of May

We continue to settle down in Lake Jackson. We like the town. When we asked some teenagers at our church what they do for fun, their first answer was "Go to Walmart." So obviously, the town lacks some sources of quality entertainment. But, we can still have lots of fun. Joseph and I went to the beach last weekend and enjoyed just sitting on the sand, watching the waves come in. The town is getting a Texas Roadhouse, which opens sometime this month. I'm very excited to go there! We also found a fun park on Saturday.

For Memorial Day, we drove to Austin and enjoyed seeing Joseph's brother and his family. We met our nephew, Oliver and were there for his baby blessing. He's about five months old and we had fun playing with him and his big brother, Caleb.

Joseph looks like he is doing a ballet move with his foot pointed.

 Also, we found out the gender of our baby. So we went for our ultrasound and it was awesome to see the baby for the first time. I didn't have an ultrasound in the first trimester because there were no concerns with the baby. The ultrasound tech was pretty nice and explained a lot of things. Having taken anatomy at BYU, it was cool to see the vertebrae and different organs. The baby was is an odd position for the ultrasound so the tech pushed on my stomach a bunch to get the baby to move. But the baby is just like me, STUBBORN, and wouldn't move. The tech made her best guess and said our baby is most likely a little GIRL! I will believe it more when I actually see our baby this fall.

Other than that, I finally don't fit into my normal clothes so I had to buy some maternity clothes. We have also felt the baby kick a bunch lately, which is always fun. She hates it when I lie on my back because she will kick non stop until I move. I think she feels crunched when I do that. I went shopping for baby clothes finally. One morning after going to a few garage sales and here is what I have:

I hit a jack pot at one place. The mom had a little girl and was selling all of her baby clothes. For about 30 dollars, I got over 40 outfits of all different sizes.

We bought this at Target right after we found out we're having a baby girl.
