Goodbye Harry...Goodbye Childhood

With the last movie out, it is hard for me to believe that there is no more Harry Potter. I feel like my childhood has officially ended. Harry Potter was the first series of books that really got me interested in reading. My mom surprised me with the 5th of 6th books as they came out. I even had to chase down the mailman for my 7th book, because he thought no one was home and he was taking it back to the post office. I love the characters of these books and J.K. Rowling's writing is amazing. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is by far one of the best books I have ever read. I was eleven when I read the first book. That is my niece Halle's age. She finally got into them this year and she went through all seven books so fast and started the series over recently. It makes me very happy to see that another genereation is going to fall in love with Harry all over again. I can't wait to read them to my kids!

Third Time's a Charm

When this little one had its legs crossed in two ultra sounds, Tanner and I kind of accepted the fact that we might have to wait till its arrival to find out weather we'll have a boy or girl. But yesterday we found out that third time is a charm and we are very happy to announce that we're having a ...GIRL! We're very excited and cannot wait to meet her!

I feel like I kind of knew that it would be a girl. A lot of our family was guessing that it was a boy, but I always had this thought in the back of my head that it was a girl.

The first ultra sound was really neat. She had the hickups and it is amazing to see that through the ultra sound. Yesterday the ultra sound tech was so much fun. We got a few glimpses of her face and the tech asked which one of us had a chin dimple. Well, that would be this little ones daddy and she said that she could tell she had that dimple. Pretty crazy!

We're so grateful that everything looks great and the baby is healthy. We have four months to go and it is kind of a scary thought but I am ready to meet this little girl!
