The Verdict is in...It's a...

BOY!!! There was no denying it. I'll scan some pictures soon to verify ;-)
The ultrasound was SOO cool! It was awesome seeing our little baby rolling around and waving his arms and legs. It was such a great appointment! They first measured everything from head to toe before getting to the gender...so much anticipation! But it was great to see that everything was normal and looked perfect, and his little profile was so cute! I can't wait to meet him in about 5 months! Ultrasound pics to come soon!!

1st Movement!!

This is just a really quick post to document when I first felt the baby move. I still definitely have much more to catch up on, a few more beach trips, a Texas trip to see my family there, and a couple of other events, but those will still have to wait for now.
I just have a minute on here and I don't want to forget when it happened, so here's a quick post to keep the memory.
I am 18 weeks pregnant now, and yesterday as I was sitting at my desk, I had feelings in my stomach like I was nervous, and also kind of like my stomach was gurgling but without making any noises. I had thought I felt a similar thing the night before as I was going to sleep, but I had just eaten some junk food (I know, bad - but it was just a little bit) and I was really tired, so although the thought crossed my mind that I could be feeling the baby, I just brushed it off and went to sleep. Then it wasn't until about 3pm the next day that I felt the same type of feeling while sitting there. This time I was sure it was the baby! It's really cool and weird at the same time to feel it moving a little in there. I have since felt it several more times last night, mostly when I am still. Also it was awake while I was trying to sleep - another very interesting feeling :)
The next big milestone happens on Monday, we find out if it's a boy or girl! I'll keep you posted.

My first recording debut

Last week a friend of ours, Rob Blackwell, was recording a new album. David has been very interested in the recording process as he has always wanted to have our own studio some day. He went the week before to watch Rob record the very first track and had mentioned to him that if he wanted any female harmonies in any songs that I would be a good choice. What a sweetie, recommending me :-) It turned out that he was looking for female back ground vocals in this one song he wrote for his wife. So David and I went to the studio one night last week to watch him record the vocal track and for me to be available to sing with him if he wanted.
This was my first recording experience, and I learned that it is actually a rather long process. That night he recorded 4 songs, and the very last one was the one he wanted my voice for. By that time it was close to midnight, but I was excited to record the harmonies with him, so it was ok.
It was a fun experience, and one of the coolest things about it is when his album is published, my name will be in the credits! My first taste of fame :-)
