Okay and the results are in....

My cousin Kristi is having a.....GIRL! So one little boy and one little girl in the family- how awesome is that? Now we can't wait to find out about our little one! Hopefully only 3 or 4 weeks to go! :)

We are having a.....

NEPHEW!!!! Yay! Lindsay's appointment went great and she knew right away it was a boy! We are thrilled for her and know she will make a great mommy. He is growing fast! 

This will be great because if we have a girl, we will have the best of both worlds and she can have an older boy cousin to look after her and if we have a boy they can be best friends. :)

Kidisms....

Soooo we are writing stories in my classroom and one student decided she was going to write a story about me and Jeremy- she was real cute and asked if she can use our "real names"
She was basically interviewing me and asked me if I remember the date of when I got married....Ha...then she went on to ask the day the baby is going to be born. She asked if I was having a boy or girl and I had to explain that I didn't know yet but she could guess for her story. THEN she asked well, what are you naming them? I told her things always change but right now we are thinking Tatum for a girl and Jaxon for a boy. Andres in my class stands up with a confused look on his face and says "Tatum?!? Like the road????!!" I bursted up laughing- kids have no sensors then another kid, Leonardo goes "Jaxon.....hmm....are you putting Michael in front?" And my whole class is like: "ya- Michael Jackson!" Oh my gosh- maybe we need to rethink names (just kidding) but kids are just so cute and I thought this would brighten your day because it sure brightened mine! I am sure going to miss them next year!
Here is how Zamantha's story turned out:
Once upon a time there was a girl named Allison. She got married on May 5th. She became a teacher, a very nice teacher. Then, 3 years passed and she had a baby in her stomach. She felt excited and very happy. One day Allison brought a picture of the baby to her class. A girl named Vianney, said "Awww!" A few months passed and it was November 22nd. The baby was born but Allison and Jeremy didn't know what to name the little cute baby. So she went to her mom. Allison's mom was Cindy. Allison told her mom that she couldn't name the baby. Then Allison's mom, Cindy, got a wonderful idea, she named the baby Jaxon. Allison loved the name so Allison and Jeremy and of course, Jaxon, lived happily ever after!

End of the 1st Trimester.....

Well, this weekend ends the first trimester! Yay! We will be entering the second trimester and look forward to finding out if this little one is a boy or a girl. We are also excited to find out if we will be having a nephew or a niece....Lindsay will be finding out this coming Thursday! We are stoked! :) We originally thought she was having a girl, but now Allie had a dream it was a boy! So we will see if dreams predict right! Also, Allie's cousin will be finding out the week after so there is a lot of excitement coming up. It will sure be interesting! How cute all three babies will be~could it be possible they are all the same sex??!?!
Our next doctor's appointment is June 3rd- we will be hearing the heart beat on the doppler and will have a check up. This will be our 16 week appointment so hopefully a couple weeks after this one we will have the Ultrasound to tell us BOY or GIRL :)
As the school year comes to an end, we have an exciting summer approaching. Allie will be teaching summer school and Jeremy will be helping out with the baseball program and will be doing projects around the house getting ready for the baby. We are also looking forward to our Colorado road trip! All the books say that the second trimester brings more energy so hopefully we will accomplish a lot before August. It is just so crazy how time flies! November seems so far away but we know it will sneak up fast. All these exciting events and baby showers will be coming up very soon!

Great Grandma's Surprise

This weekend was Allie's graduation from NAU with her master's degree in Multicultural Education. Her Grandma came out from Virginia so we thought it would be the perfect time to tell her she was going to be a Great Grandma!!! We made the sign above to hold up at the airport! The word surprise does not even sum it all up! See the video above! We were so excited to finally tell her and cannot wait for her to come back out in December to see the little one!
It was a great mother's day weekend in Flagstaff. We went up on Friday and on Saturday was the commencement ceremony. We had a BBQ afterward to celebrate! On Sunday, we went to Mother's Day lunch and then headed back home. It was beautiful up there. We want to thank everyone for making the trip up there as it was a truly amazing experience!

12 Weeks

Today was our 12 week doctor's appointment, even though I will not be 12 weeks until the weekend. The doctor listened to the heartbeat on the doppler and found it right away. She said it was very staticy due to the baby moving so much. We only caught the heartbeat for a couple of seconds so she wanted an ultra sound to get an accurate count of the heartbeat! I was nervous but of course excited because I wasn't expecting another ultra sound until 18 weeks. YAY! He/She is so cute! The heartbeat was beating at 170 beat per minute! How blessed we are! Our next appointment is June 3rd and then soon after that one we will know if the baby is a boy or a girl! Time is flying by!
