IT'S A BOY!!!

WOW, it has been a crazy 2 weeks!!!
To start off with, Anna and I made out trip to Disney and it was great fun as expected!! We met lots of characters including: Mr. & Mrs. Incredible, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Mulan, Pocohantas, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderalla, Belle, and a few others I don't recall right away. It was a hot week but through the heat we had a great time!! We rode the dumbo ride countless times as well as the Peter Pan and buzz lightyear rides!! On the buzz lightyear ride Anna shot the targets and scored over 30,000 points all by herself!! We bought the new tinkerbell movie the day it was released and took it with us to meet the fairies and they were all excited to sign the movie cover for us!! We discovered lots of interesting fact about animals at animal kingdom...fact #1: on the animal safari ride, if you don't hold on, you WILL be thrown from the vehicle :) We then toured countries of the world at Epcot and created a one of a kind keepsake mask as well as a passport signed in many languages at each country. While at Epcot, we watched the "Around the world" fire works show which anna actually enjoyed (she usually doesn't like fireworks). While I and baby boy took a day to rest from the heat, Anna discovered Hollywood studios where she met a few of her favorite movie characters: the incredibles and the toy story gang. We spent the rest of our week doing whatever Anna wanted to do around Magic Kingdom. She rode her very first roller coaster while we were there and LOVED it!!! We watched parades, got autographs, rode the rides, ate yummy snacks and drinks, walked alot, and all in all enjoyed the park sooo much!!!

After returning from our exciting week at Disney, it was time to go back to work and school. After 2 LOOOONG days of catch up work, it was time to have the BIG ultrasound!! We waited at the doctor for quite a bit but it was all worth the wait in the end :) We found out that baby hall is a BOY!!!! We spoke with the doctor after the ultrasound and he said everything is looking great with baby!!! He measured 19 weeks and 5 days which is exactly where he should be. God has answered many prayers already and I know he continues to do so daily! Another prayer answered for me was to find that after 3 years battling high blood pressure, since getting pregnant with baby boy, my blood pressure has been PERFECT!!!! We discussed my having a c-section and while there is still no definite date, we will most likely look 7 days prior to my due date (February 20) to have the c-section. As for a name for baby boy, it is still under discussion. We had a girl name set and ready to go (Afton Danielle) however, a boy name has yet to be nailed down. There was talk of Micah, but that has been buried now :) The new name of discussion is Carson Allen and while it has not been exactly settled yet, that is where we are strongly leaning. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, not a day goes by that he does not answer our prayers!
