Flip Flop

So, life is drastically changing here. Not only because Chris's t's are now snug across my belly and bust, but also because I am changing jobs.

Yes it's true, I'm going from this:

To this:

Yep that's right, a college graduate working as a cashier… Mr. Bradshaw would be so proud!

The funny thing is, I am so excited about this change! I never thought that I could be so proud to be an Ace Hardware Employee, but it's came as a serious blessing to us right now for the following reasons:

1. It is going to keep me occupied over the summer while I wait for this baby to be ready to come out and play.
2. Ace Hardware is super on AIR CONDITIONING. Ahhhh. When you're prego in paradise, the pitties add up, so yes, this really deserves to be this high on my happiness list.
3. It is within walking distance (not that I'm planning on walking), but it sure beats the 2 hour commute I was doing.
4. Somehow I'm going to end up making about the same amount of cash… Not sure how that worked out, but I'm sure glad it did.
5. I can get discounts on cool stuff like lumber, nails, and measuring tape. Okay so this one isn't legit, but technically I do get that perk.
6. Everyone enjoys a new red vest.

So here is a quick update on THE BULGE

Week 5 Week 15

I know, not too much of a change..... but I feel like a whale when I slip into my bikinii!

NOW

Here is the funny part!

Week 5 Week 15!

The Debate

I've always said that I wanted my first baby to be a boy. You know, the whole big brother to beat up the little sister's boyfriend, type of idea.

Kind of like this----->
(Minus the whole communist reference).
ha ha.

Well as soon as I found out that I was pregnant, I decided it was a girl. I started making all kinds of flowered pink things, and ordered the full series of Anne of Green Gables to read to baby (Chris was less than thrilled(about the books, not the whole girl thing)).

.........ANYWAY............

NOW I'M NOT SURE!!!!

Facts supporting that I've been wrong to start looking at ridiculously large baby headbands and tiny little leg warmers:

• I didn't like the second Anne book... I think the boy in my belly was grossed out by it girlishness.

• Supposedly if you crave salt you're having a boy. Well let's just say I have single handedly secured the Pringles company sales for the year! I'm talking 3 cans of Pringles a week here people. Even thinking about them make me wish that I didn't finish our last can yesterday!

• My old bishop did some old Portuguese vodoo trick (I know weird coming from an old bishop), but he said it's definitely a boy.
  

• And lastly, Chris and Jon (his brother), are super competitive. Jon just found out that his wife is having a girl. As soon as I heard that, I FELT Chris's competitive nature kick in! He's going to try to beat his brother to the punch. . . Which I would say is silly, but it's his swimmer that is determining what our baby is so....
  

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE MONTH TO FIND OUT FOR SURE! BOY OR GIRL? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M TOO EXCITED!
