My mom signed Chris and I up for some free diapers from Walmart, and we just got ours in the mail. We could have just put them in the baby's room and called it quits, but no... The parents-to-be had to open them up and look at them.
And they're so cute!
I know, soon we won't think these little items are "cute" but when we opened the package and it was the size of Chris's hand! Oh my goodness, we couldn't help ourselves.

Last week at my doctor's appointment I asked the doctor if it was ok that I hadn't gained any weight, and he laughed. He laughed! Then he nicely said not to worry, in the next four weeks I would be hitting a growth spurt.
It seems like just the other day I went to bed and woke up with a belly! Before I had to kind of throw my back out a little and pretend I had a bump and now there's no denying it.
It's there when I shave my legs, or get dressed in the morning and yesterday I found myself balancing my orange juice on it while I watched the news.
It's kind of funny to think it's just going to get bigger :) It's all worth it though, because while I'm at work I feel a little fluttering and wonder what my little guy is doing today.
It's all so amazing.

Here's our little peanut! We found out today that he's a boy! It was the most amazing experience ever. They checked him all over and all his little parts are doing great. His heartbeat was at 155 and he weighs 8 oz!
Chris already has plans for little guy. I've never seen him so happy, well, other than our wedding day. I'll never forget the moment we found out!

Afterwards we made our appointment for our ultrasound! Tomorrow at 12:30 p.m., we'll be getting to see our little peanut on the big screen and we'll get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I just can't wait to start planning everything!
Afterwards, I had to cover something for the paper, so we grabbed a quick dinner and drove out of town for a talk on the new and interesting varieties of plants! Chris thought he was going to have a terrible time, but he lovingly went with me. It was either that or he'd wait out in the car, so I think that made up his mind pretty easy.
He was the only guy to show up for the event, and as the room crouded up with elderly women, each one took a look at him and whispered to their little friends, "I told Harold there would be men here."
By the end of the event, Chris was having more fun than our little old ladies, and he even won a flower to take home! I think next time we cover a gardening event, he'll be the first one in the car!

On a lighter note, after I left Adrian's event yesterday I came home and clean, clean, cleaned. I decided to fix everything that was bothering me about my house. Of course, I didn't get to everything, but I did get started on changing around one wall in my dining room.
I decided to try my hand at wall groupings. For such a long time I had been limited to decorating because of living in apartments, so I feel like I'm still so very new to the decorating world.
I'm still not sure how I'm feeling about what I did above this table... I'm thinking that I should even maybe paint the table white.
Chris thinks I should put pie tins on the other side to make it more symmetrical. So, we'll see what I end up doing with this. It's been fun to play around with anyway.

With only maybe a few weeks left to live, each moment has to be the most memorable, the most special. Each breath that you take has got to be cherished and remembered. This is something everyone could learn a little bit from.
Everyone could take a lesson from one of the bravest families I have ever met. Their son, a little boy who turns only 12 tomorrow, is losing his battle with leukemia. In just a week's time Adrian has lost so much of his energy.
But his amazing family is making sure he spends each breath cherishing his life. All Adrian wanted was a few cards from the community, just to brighten his day. So far he has received over 4,000 cards from all over the country, including a hand-written note from governor Granholm. His story has touched so many lives and so many people have done what they could to show him they're thinking about him.
In just two days time, an officer from the Detroit area organized a special event for Adrian, including a ride from his home on a fire truck to a helicopter waiting for him to take him up into the air.
A whole crowd showed up Saturday morning to support him. His family and friends walked along side him as he took each step toward the helicopter.
I'm never going to forget this family or little Adrian, and I'm not going to stop praying that a miracle happens for him. This young man has touched more lives than he will ever imagine.

What a strange sight to see on April 6. Where is the April showers brings May flowers? What does April snow bring? I don't think I can take too much more of winter. I'll be taking this up with mother nature soon if she doesn't quit.
