It's a BOY

We had our 20 week ultrasound this morning and found out that the new little baby that will be blessing our lives in March 2010 is a BOY!! We were both surprised and excited that we are going to have a daughter and a son. It's going to be so fun to experience the differences and similarities between them and see Ella interact with her little brother. The baby is healthy and happy and was moving around all over the place. We'll see if that's a sign of things to come... Jake and I celebrated with Ella and went out to dinner tonight and bought our first little boy outfit like we did with Ella when we found out she was a girl. It's time to get the Anderson planning into gear and start decorating two rooms this time (moving Ella into a bigger room and redecorating the nursery to be boy ready). Fun times ahead and thank you to all who have shared in this excitement with us.

One Year Pictures

Ella took some cute one year old pictures recently that I had to share. She is becoming such a little kid it's just crazy to see how fast it happens after she started walking. She loves to give hugs now and walk toward us with her arms open. Today I dropped her off at day care and she waved her hand good bye and then walked over to me and gave me a big hug and went off and played with her friends. Oh my gosh...melted my heart. She does these little art projects at school which I've already displayed proudly at my desk of course. She is a little social butterfly as well (definitely Andersons genes). We watched Monday night football at our friend's house and she was all over the place loving all the attention and wrestling around with Daddy. Her giggle is just awesome and she smiles all the time. As for me, things are progressing great with the new baby. I'm 18 weeks already (flew by this time) and we find out if it's a boy or girl in 2 weeks. Can't wait to see if Ella will have a brother or sister and to start decorating and planning:) October is a busy month filled with fall fun activities with friends and family. I just love this season and we're taking full advantage of the perfect fall weather we're having right now. Ella is going to be a strawberry for Halloween so you'll have to wait for those fun pix! Happy October.
