Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

It's a super cute BOY!!!

Our gender revealing ultrasound was last Thursday and we couldn't have asked for more! We had the normal ultrasoundd with the Tech. She measured Finn's organs and head and stuff, and she was able to tell that Finn is a boy! And if that wasn't enough excitement, there was a student who needed ultrasound experience, so we got extra time to just look at him :) He was very active and she said it was a game of chase the baby. Here's his little body:
Of course we cant tell what he looks like, but everyone says he looks like me. lol I don't know if that's a compliment.....? Anyway, we were really happy that day. I called my brother Thomas-woke him up actually-to tell him the good news, and also my Aunt Stephanie at work, since they wouldn't be there when we told everyone else. I also shared it with a couple of really close friends, who I honestly think I couldn't keep a secret THAT happy from.
So then, we had the bday reveal party, and hid a plastic baby in my grandmothers yard and My friends twins found it....with a little help from me... and then they yelled it out and everyone knew. After cupcakes we got pictures with pretty much everyone grouped into categories.

That's just a few...


So a good time was had by all, I assume :)
It feels so good to know what to look at in stores now. I am going to try not to buy too much and wait and see what I get at showers. But if something is too cute, I will get it. lol
While Ben and I would have been happy with either gender, I am happy to know that Ben will have a little boy to teach all his car knowledge and plenty of guy stuff to. I'm also glad that Ben will be able to teach him how to be a good husband and friend, because those are the things I love about my Ben. I think there are so many crappy people in this world, and If Ben and I can ensure one less crappy person, then our job is done.
As far as what I can teach Finn....well lets just say that Finn's future wife wont have to worry about her husband knowing his way around a kitchen and how to cook a ten course meal, and also knowing how to do laundry. lol
The next post will probably be about nursery planning, as I have  many thoughts a'brewin.
