It's a BOY! Due Feb 18th

I have been meaning to post for a long time, I feel like so much has happened.

A few weeks ago Dallen and I were watching TV and I felt the baby move for the first time! I was really excited!!! A few days later we had our first doctors apt.  My gown was ginormous and it was all I could do to keep it from falling completely off and although I found the whole thing extremely awkward we got to see our sweet baby!!! I don't know why but I just started crying! There really is a baby in me and its ours! It made it real! Baby was all curled up in a ball so we couldn't tell the gender :( We left for Moab the next day and spent a week there! That week Dallen got to feel the baby kick! I think the baby knew daddy was there and kicked really hard just for him! 

A week and half later we got a "real" ultrasound where we got to see and hear the heart! We also got to find out the gender!!! The majority guessed we would be having a girl but I think that's just because Athena and Clint are having a boy and so they really wanted a girl. Dallen and I have thought it was a boy from the beginning so we felt like we'd won a little victory ha ha.  The doctor said it was pretty obvious (at least to him...Dallen and I couldn't tell what anything was) it was a boy and we could count on that not changing. I'm so excited that now when I go to the store and see something really cute I can buy it!!! 

Our sweet baby is 19 weeks today!

My favorite things right now are chewy sprees and roman noodles.

I'm also convinced my baby likes gob-stoppers, he always seems to kick a lot if I eat them! lol

With the exception of growing out of all my clothes pregnancy has been really good to me and I feel just great!

They did take a few 3D pictures but I find them a little creepy and anytime we tried to get a picture of his face he put his arms in the way, camera shy just like his dad! 

BABY DALTON! 

How We Told Our Families

I kept our secret for about a day (Which was pretty hard for me ha) before I had to tell someone, so I told Jessica, I knew I could trust her plus I knew I would need her help to come up with some creative way to tell everyone else. :) SO...we made these cute little signs for our parents that said, "The best parents get promoted to grandparents," and shirts for our sisters that said, "The best sisters get promoted to Aunt!"  We left the frames sitting out with a card on them for our parents to discover and I left the shirts in little bags for our sisters. 

My favorite reactions/stories came from our Dads and my little sister. 

I left the bag outside of Kenzies room and when she opened it she came to Dallen and I and said, "Is this really from you guys or is it from Clint and Athena?" I told her it was really from us and then she got all excited! 

My dad gave us hugs and cried which I thought was sweet. 

Dallens dad was probably the funniest. He was the only one home at the time and we had left the frame and card on the display case. We went over to Dallens house to wait for Danny to get home from church so we could watch his reaction... He came home, saw the frame and picked up the card, but didn't open it and put it back.  Dallen and I just looked at each other...we were confused as to why he didn't open the card. So we all just sat there and watched TV for a bit and then I told Dallen to say something. So he asked Danny what it was. Danny said he didn't know it was for Sue. (The card had both their names on it. LOL)  Dallen told him it had his name on it too...he still didn't really seem to care so Dallen said, "well what is it?" Danny said, "I don't know, its from you guys." Dallen- "Why do you say that?" Danny- "Cuz you want me to open it." Then we just kinda laughed and Danny said "Well Bring it to me and I'll open it." And that was that, maybe you would have had to have been there but it was just so hard to convince him that he should open it and it was super funny!
