20 week ultrasound

This morning I went in to have my 20 week ultrasound done. And we have some exciting news to share...
IT'S A GIRL!!!
That's right, come October Bret is going to have a baby sister! Matt was so excited when they told us, he started high-fiving the tech and the assistant. I was so surprised I didn't know what to think at first. It took a couple minutes for the thought that we are going to have a daughter to really settle in. And then I was just as excited as Matt. Thank you Lord for this precious blessing!

Update on Bret

Bret is doing great after our little scare the other night. He gets his stitches out tomorrow! Which is really a good thing because one has come out already on it's own! If they were supposed to stay in much longer, they'd probably all come out by themselves, because when Bret is in his carseat he likes to rub his head back and forth and that's probably how the first one came out!
My first Mother’s Day was lovely yesterday. Bret gave me flowers and a card and this beautiful necklace with this little boy charm on it and you can get more charms to put on it so when the baby’s born we can get another one for him/her. It was very special. Matt made me breakfast in bed and we went out to dinner in the evening. And Bret was very good at the restaurant, he must have known it was Mother’s Day!

What a night!

Last night after his bath Bret was crawling around the living room playing. He was attempting to pull himself up on the couch, and lost his balance, falling backwards. He hit our coffee table, cutting the back of his head. I immediately panicked, because it was bleeding a lot (apparently heads do) and he was really crying, fortunately Matt was much more calm although still obviously quite concerned about his baby boy. We quickly rushed to the ER, where our poor baby needed five stitches! And believe me he let us all know he was not happy about that! We stayed for a little while to make sure he wasn't showing any signs of a concussion, and then had to wake him up every few hours during the night to make sure he was still okay (I think he was a little confused when we did this though, usually it's the other way around with him waking us up!). He's been fine today, although he does sometimes rub the back of his head with his hand so I've been giving him Tylenol. We're so thankful to God that our baby is okay and that nothing worse happened! It was quite the night though!
