BOY!!! Yay! We are so excited! Little Wyatt Reid is the cutest baby ever (that makes me one of "those mommy's" too, I guess). We were able to see great pictures on the sonogram. The nurse that does these at Dr. Joseph's office is great. She took lots of time showing us Wyatt. We have several profile, feet, and arm pictures. And of course, "The Picture" that made Chris' day. :) It truly was amazing watching him move around. He sure does move a lot. My favorite was when the nurse kept the sonogram thing (whatever it's called) still and we could watch Wyatt move around. We feel so blessed! Can't wait to meet you, Wyatt.
Don't worry, the bedding is picked out and Wyatt will have turtles, NOT cammo. I took care of this a long time ago. I know my husband. :)

A Fortune
Lori called us the other day to tell us a cute story. She and Sarah (7) went to have Chinese food together. Sarah's fortune said "A new relationship is about to blossom. You will be blessed." She said, "Chris and AmyJo's baby!" How cute is that. I think it's really neat that they always think of Baby. I think they are excited! When I see Sarah and Garrett, they always ask about the baby and make sure Baby is okay. And, of course, try to guess if Baby is a boy or girl.
Family Fun
Yesterday, I spent the day at Nana and Papa's making a chocolate pie for Michelle's (my stepmom) birthday. It was fun. I don't bake much and that went to show when I burned the entire side of my arm putting the pie in the oven. haha
Then, my mom, Jerry (my stepdad), Dad, Michelle, Lisa (sister), Jeff, and grandparents all went to my mom and Jerry's for dinner and poker. Yes, ALL my parents were in the same room! haha I love it! We all do things together and are one big family. All our parents just got back from Vegas together, which is why we had a learning poker night. I'm not too good, but it was fun trying to learn.
While they were in Vegas, Baby got a surprise. They all went to see David Copperfield and brought Baby home David Copperfield's stuffed animal duck, Webster. It's cute! Chris and I (and Lisa and Jeff) got a neat crystal cube that has Dad, Michelle, Mom, and Jerry's picture etched into it. You set it on a little light and it lights up. It's really neat! I'm sure Baby will love to look at that when he/she's old enough.
I'm off today for Labor Day. My feet needed the break! Chris is out trying to shoot poor little birds with his buddy and I'm going to get a prenatal massage later today. Can't wait! This is definitely a necessity. :)
Tomorrow is the day! If Baby cooperates we will find out if we're having a boy or girl and we can't hardly wait. Then I can say a name and stop having to find ways around using the "it" word. I try sooo hard not to call Baby an "it," but it gets really hard. I will definitely update!

Daddy Prepares for Diaper Duty
This is about the cutest, sweetest story ever!
So, I got invited to go out to dinner with some friends and my grandparents tonight for dinner, but Chris and I had tons of stuff to do around the house. He knew I wanted to go so he said he'd get everything done and for me to go to dinner. (Not, even the best part yet.)
On my way home, I called to see how things were coming along. He said he was playing with a pack of newborn diapers that I gave him for Father's Day. I, of course, said what do you mean? He said he was practicing. He wanted me to check it when I got home, because he didn't think it looked right (he thought the holes for the legs were too small). How cute is that?! I know he's excited, but he's even practicing with the diapers and I didn't have to drag him to a class!
When I got home the little bitty baby diaper was in Baby's room all put together. He did do it all perfectly. The holes for the legs were fine, too. Gotta love an excited Daddy! I do!!!

Back to School
School has started and I'm glad to be back! I love having a schedule and now that I'm not sick anymore things have been great. I am tired, but I've been getting plenty of sleep. The only thing that's killing me are me darn shoes!!! My feet have been soooo sore and swollen (yuck!).
I love my new kiddos and I love the people I'm working with. I told my kids that I'll be having a baby in January and they were excited. They want to know how long I'll be gone and if I'll come back. I've been sad that I'll have to leave Baby and go back to work, but I also know that my school kiddos wanted to make sure that I'd be back before the end of the year. That made me feel good, even though I'll be really sad.
This is going to be a great year and I'm excited!

Baby Furniture
Last weekend, Chris and I went out looking for baby furniture ideas. My mom met us a store in Frisco when we had ideas of what we liked. She's been excited about getting Baby a crib since the day we told her she's going to be a grandma. We finally decided on a crib and a dresser that we all liked. It is perfect! The crib is beautiful and it turns into a toddler bed, and then a full size big-kid bed. Who knew a crib could do all that!?!?
Yesterday my mom and I went and ordered the furniture and the safest baby mattress we could find. Maybe Baby will like the crib so much that he/she will want to sleep all night in it without waking up. hahahahaha
As soon as we get the room ready for the furniture, we are going to pick it all up and it will be waiting for Baby.
Thanks Grammy for the crib and dresser!

Getting Back to "Normal" for Awhile
Yay! The headaches are getting better. Fruits and veggies are starting to sound good again. And I'm able to workout again. These things make me feel much more "normal." I've started going to water aerobics sice it's too hot to do anything else. I love it! It really is a good workout and it's hilarious how silly we look. I have started getting stuff ready for school - can't believe Summer is almost over. I am excited to meet my new kiddos. I know the first semester will fly by and before we know it Baby Jeans will be here.
Right now, the Big Day is September 2nd. We are going to find out if we are having a boy or girl. Woohoo! I can't wait. Today's doctor's appointment was pretty boring. Funny how when they aren't taking blood it becomes "boring." I guess I mean less eventful. Except we did get to hear the heartbeat and that's always amazing.
The last two nights I've woken up around 4:30 in the morning thinking I'm starving. Yikes! I told my friend Ashley this morning that I'm weird and I didn't know what was going on. Thank goodness for Baby Center, because I got my 15 week update tonight and one of the articles on there was about this happening. So, I guess I'm normal and I'll have to be prepared for this, because I do not think that eating at 4 in the morning needs to become a habit. Haha
Let's see how long "normal" lasts.
