Preggy update!

Well I'm 16 weeks and doing great!! We went to the doctor last week and were told that we are possibly having a girl but that she couldn't guarantee it and don't go out and buy anything pink just yet. When we got home I got really impatient and made an appointment at the 4D ultrasound place down the street. We got an appointment for that same day and headed right over!! After about 15 minutes of a regular black/white ultrasound (not 4D) they told us we are having another BOY!!! I can not say I was exactly thrilled at the moment he told us but I am very excited now. Excited and thankful that we have been blessed with another pregnancy!! :) We could not be happier. Anyway, we are still not 100% convinced that it is in fact a boy because of what our OB said and then they guy at the 4D place saying he was 90% sure. Haha! We are wondering why he didn't say 100% or even 98%. I know, wishful thinking ;) We have another appointment on Aug. 6Th with my OB so should get a 100% by then!! This boy/girl thing has definitely been a roller coaster so we can't wait to find out so we can really start planning and getting his/her room together! I'm sure it's a HE! Either way we are thrilled!!

Here I am at 16 weeks. Not the best picture because I just woke up from a nap but you get the idea!

What?!?!

A friend of mine (thanks Vanessa) had this posted on her blog and I about died... ok not really, but I felt REALLY LAME for having NOT known this... I haven't even gone in my kitchen yet to check and make sure this is for real... I'm not up for the shame tonight... Here ya go...


Was this something we were supposed to learn from our Mom's?????I can't believe it's been there all this time. I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself.Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box.Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over.The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.Well, I would like to share this with you.Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it, and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end.Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place.How long has this little locking tab been there?I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too.I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too!I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out,when I was trying to cover something up.I'm sharing this with my friends.I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this. I know you're going to go and check your boxes, so go ahead!
