Preliminary results are in, and the outcome is......PINK!!!

Well, I went in today and got a new ultrasound from the hospital. The tech from ultrasound said he is about 70% sure that it is a girl (which I was kinda hoping for) so I am excited! I'm afraid Coby is a little disappointed (which he vehemently denies)...I think he is afraid he will never get a boy...but who knows, it is always possible that when we have our next BIG ultrasound a little something may have "sprouted!" I am truly happy either way as long as it is healthy.... Even though this is my second it was so awesome to see this little baby (that even looked like a baby) up on the ultrasound screen. It was crazy to see it wiggling around and not even be able to feel it yet! Going through pregnancy and childbirth with Mae and now with this new baby has been the biggest affirmation to me that there truly IS a higher power (not that I doubted before) but it is just sooooo amazing--there is NO way that somethign like this could just "happen!"
On another little bummer of a note, on my ultrasound it showed that I have what is called "placenta previa-" which is just a fancy name for my placenta covering my uterus. If it does not go away (which it might...keep your fingers crossed) I will have to have a c-section--poo! Anyways, enjoy the new pics...Scary skull baby...but still cute!
Little profile...I can already tell it (she?) will be a looker! It runs in the family...
Little feetsies-this little piggy....
Peek-a-boo!

Yeah for ultrasounds!!! There is a reason I was born in this time--I'm WAY to impatient to have to wait 9 MONTHS to take a look at this cutie! I LOVE technology...(just go ahead and hum the song to yourself...)

More of the Cruisin' Life...

Here are a few more pics from the cruise...
Mae and another towel elephant (? They all looked like elephants to me)

Coby and Cheney showing the waves who's boss...Don't worry, they are only playing in the part of the ocean that everyone is warned to avoid because it is very dangerous...smart...

Mae and the only part of the beach that she liked---lunch!

We had an AMAZING time on the cruise! Thanks Mom and Frank!!!

The Cruisin' Life!

Alright kids...here are the long awaited pics from our cruise to Mexico! We went to Cabo, Mazatlan, and our favorite Puerto Vallarte and had a great time! Real life was a rude awakening (especially since a lot of us came home with the Mexican flu--yuck!)--no one cooking and cleaning for us--how harsh! We took little Mae with us and were amazed at how wonderful she was! No trouble at all and it was so much fun to have her with us! There are a lot, but hey, that's what happens! Well...ENJOY!
All five grandkids...I love this pic: Lily and Mae are freaking out, Brycen is just happy to be there, Jenna is trying to comfort Mae and Ben has that mischevious little grin...how funny!
Our beautiful little girl in her Mexican dress

The truly CRAZY cliff divers in Mazatlan. You can't see from the pic, but they are diving into the ocean surrounded by rocks. They are about 1 foot away from hitting them...seriously insane!

Mazatlan...nevermind how burnt we are!

Mae-Mae loves the camera!

Mazatlan

The van ride, either before or after "Ivan the Great" ran into another car...seriously!

Our zipliners in Puerto Vallarte, Mom, Brycen and Frankie...No prego's allowed here either...:(

Puerot Vallarte...this was the restaurant right by the river and waterfall...It was our favorite place...we LOVED it here!

Hanging out in the river with Mae...still fried!

Bath time on the ship (she didn't like the shower)!
