A Baby Weekend in Fort Worth

After 2 years of not visiting Fort Worth together, Mike and I finally got to make the trip home together (and yes I say home because hopefully one day it will be home again :). We had a great weekend seeing lots of friends and family, seeing Fort Worth, eating at Joe T.'s and having 2 showers! On Friday night, there was a shower/fertility party as Mike called it at Allison's new house. It was really fun to see my friends and Mike's as well and I think a good time was had by all. I got some great gifts and LOVE that TCU cheerleader outfit. Kate will sport that when she joins the world! On Saturday morning, Mike's mom and family had a wonderful shower for me and I don't have any pictures yet, but I also got lots of cute things that I'm excited about. We also got to see our dear friends the Miller family and have a graduation lunch and that night we got to eat at our beloved Joe T's. It was a packed weekend and needless to say we were exhausted when we got back, especially when my car wouldn't start at the airport! FUN! I loved seeing so many friends and Mike and I agreed that we both miss Fort Worth terribly!!!

I just realized that poor Mike is not in any of the pictures...guess he better get ready for the attention to be on this baby :) he he

20 weeks along and its a GIRL!!!!!

Thursday afternoon we went in for our 20 week ultrasound and this little peanut just wanted to hang out in one place and not move around...so after nearly 45 minutes, the tech got the pictures she needed and told us (in her words)..."I don't see any manly parts, must be a girl." No expression in her voice, no enthusiasm for this huge moment of our life!! So after being reassured a few times by her, we readily agreed that that blurry image on the screen (yes, I felt like Rachel in Friends who could never see anything on the screen) was a girl. So, much to everyone's surprise we're having a baby girl and couldn't be more thrilled! Here are the latest pix and yes, Tucker has to have himself in them again, along with the baby giraffe that is almost as tall as him :). Be back with more pix in a couple of weeks...
