I can't believe that I haven't posted through the holidays! I don't know what happened but life must have, had to of, gotten too busy! I promise that now that everything seems to have quieted down, I will post more often with updated pics.

Yesteryday, it was my birthday so that made the day special but even more than that, I am 21 weeks so we were able to schedule the ultra sound on my birthday and find out that God is blessing us with a boy! Halfway through the appointment, he kicked his legs while the tech was measuring his femure and I knew right away that we were having a boy. But I didn't say anything because Mike had been so sure that we were having a girl so I thought it best to let the tech tell him. A few minutes later, I asked the tech if she had been able to tell yet and she said that she hadn't really been paying attention to that so no. At the end after we found out that he is growing ahead of schedule by 2 weeks!!! (moving on quickly from that point since Mike was a 12 1/2 pound baby and over 2 feet long) The tech said that we might be able to tell for sure since the baby had been so active during the appointment but all of a sudden she let out a little "wow" and said, "I can tell you a for sure!" and then said that we were having a boy. Of course, Mike wanted a picture of that which she said most people don't ask for but printed anyways to take with us. What a wonderful moment and now I am just going nuts thinking of all the things that I want to buy!

We met Mom and Dad Henderson at 50's Grill to show them the pictures in person. Then we went to Macy's where of course, I bought boy clothes (so cute!!!) We then met my parents for dinner at The Melting Pot downtown.

The day was so special and amazing! I'm so thrilled that Taylor Michael - that's his name - is healthy and doing so well. And most of all, I'm so excited that I can actually call him by his name! These next months are going to go by so fast so I'm praying that I can live each day to the fullest, not rush each step and just enjoy where we are at!
