Boy Stuff :)

We are so excited to be having a boy! Here's a tummy picture (this is at about 20 weeks....I have started showing a lot earlier with this baby - I've heard it's like memory foam lol):

We have gotten a couple of little outfits ourselves and as gifts, as well as the baby's bedding. Besides that, we pretty much have everything we need for the baby. Thanks to some family members, we also got TONS of boy clothes as hand-me-downs....thank goodness because we had zero boy clothes!

I have had my eye on this darling dinosaur bedding at Sears for a couple of months. Every time I walked by it I thought, "I would love that bedding if we have a boy." Well after we found out we were having a boy I was walking through Sears and that bedding was 30% off! Yay! And it was the last one, because they are discontinuing it.

Here is a picture of the bedspread :)

I am getting really excited to meet this little guy. He is getting more and more active in my tummy, which is really fun. Malea is so cute about it too, and is getting excited to meet "mommy's tummy baby" as she calls it.

Even though I'm so excited to be having a boy, I am so glad I had a girl first! What would I do if I didn't have someone to paint my toe nails with?

I think she will be a great big sister.

Trip to the Zoo

Our Trip to the Hogle "Zo"

(yeah, I cut off the "o" in "zoo"....I'm not much of a photographer)

Here are some fun pictures from our trip to the Hogle Zoo! It was so much fun this year, especially now that Malea is a little older and can recognize the animals and what sounds they make. It was such a beautiful day, perfect for a trip to the zoo (except, that is what everyone else and their dog was thinking too, because it was PACKED!). We still had so much fun despite the busyness of it.

They have the cutest little park inside the zoo that Malea loved playing at.
She wouldn't go down this "snake" slide last year :)

I love Malea's face in this picture

On the way to the zoo, all Malea could talk about was the elephants and giraffes.
Well she got her wish!

There is the cutest little baby elephant there right now!

All of the giraffes were outside lounging, it was great

"Look Daddy! A turtle!"

Waiting in line for the carousel (isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?!)

All tuckered out on the ride home.....what a great day!
