OBSESSED much?

My good friend Alexis taught me how to make little girl flower clips. And since I am having a litte girl, I thought that I might as well start stalking up early. And it is SO much cheaper to make them yourself.I kindof got into it just alittle bit...OK, MAYBE A LOT BIT! It's fun, OK! Jake even got in on the action. He made the cute red and black clip that has a button that says "believe." In two days I made 40 clips! The flower clips are really easy to make, but the real fun is making clips out of ribbon. You can be as simple or as creative as you want. Ryann will be ready to look good as soon as she comes out. I will be patiently waiting with a clip and a headband in hand!!! HA HA! Tell me what you think!

Thanks Alexis! You have created a monster!

It's a...

Jake and I went into the doctor about 2 weeks ago for our monthly check-up and we asked if he could see the gender of the baby. He told us what he thought it was, but kept insisting that it was too early. Well, Jake and I couldn't wait any longer and since I am 16 weeks we went into Fetal Foto today. We were really impressed. The girl who did our ultrasound was really nice. So, we found out that 100% we are having a GIRL!!! I started bawling! It took so long to get pregnant and it was so easy to think it was never going to happen...and it did. Now, I never thought that I would have a girl, and I am! I am SO excited! After every baby, the day that we find out the gender, we go and pick the outfit that we will bring the baby home in from the hospital. Jake and I bought a few outfits and a cute pair of sandals...Jake picked those out!

Our daughters name is Ryann Elisabeth Bingham. Brooks and Dylan have said all along that I was having a girl. They would tell their friends and nursery leaders that they were going to have a baby sister soon. I just hoped that they weren't going to be disappointed. But they knew! And after Jake saw the first ultrasound, he was convinced that it was a girl.

Brooks is going to be super sweet to his little sister. He has already said that she needs to have PRINCESS pajamas because girls like princesses. And " now that I am having a girl, you can paint your nails together." Brooks is sporting his new suit he got for Christmas. When he put it on he said, "This is the awesomest day of my life!" He knew he looked good!

Dylan is really excited for his sister and likes to talk to her in my tummy. He says sorry to her when he has been naughty... because she is listening. P.S. he woke up with his hair looking like he had grown 2 horns. HILARIOUS!

I have already picked out the crib bedding that I am going to get. It is super cute and super ME!

Jake can't wait to have a Daddy's girl! This girl WILL get spoiled! But he just has to be careful that he doesn't kill himself before she is born. This is a nasty picture, but this happened the very first flag football game of the season. 7 stitches and a couple days later a BAD infection. He has to wear a sling. This is actually a good picture. This is what it looked like the first day. It got a lot worse. Brooks and Dylan would hide every time Jake would have to change his wrap because it was so nasty. Poor guy. But he is hanging in there and it is SLOWLY healing.

We are SUPER excited for our little Ryann! If anyone knows of some CUTE clothing stores or accessories, please pass along the information. I would LOVE it!

Happy Birthday Anna!

(My computer is under construction right now, so that is why I don't have any of the pictures that I took on my birthday.)

My birthday was on January 6. I turned the BIG 27. Jake suprised me with 27 red long stem roses in a cute pink vase...since that is my favorite color.

He also got me the last two Twilight books and I am almost done with #3.

He tricked me and got this hair straightener that my hair stylist recommended. I have a great husband!

Jake took my to one of my favorite places to eat, Good Wood...because of their potato skins. SO GOOD! And this is how great my husband really is, he took me to see my FAVORITE movie, Twilight, for the second time even though he already saw it with me the first time. It takes a great man to see Twilight twice. ha ha! Thank you Jake!

We had a birthday party at my parents house on Sunday and that was a lot of fun to spend some time with my family. My mom bought the best cake from Coldstone. It's my favorite ice cream I get there....Cheesecake fantasy.

Jake's mom, Julee, brought me my favorite lunch...Noodles In Company. There were balloons, a BIG party hat, and a lot of fun.

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday wonderful!
