Baby Baker!!!!

Yesterday we went to the doctor for our first ultrasound. Baby Baker is breech, which made it a little hard for us to see the goods, but baby finally cooperated and we are SO excited to announce that we are having a BOY!!!!!! After some moving around from both myself and the ultrasound tech, she was finally able to get a good glimpse of him in all his glory!

So, any of you boy mammas need to be sending some advice my way! As I told my sister yesterday, I have NO CLUE what to do with a boy. We are so excited though, and he is measuring perfect, no problems so far!

We are almost officially halfway there, only 20 more weeks left until we meet our precious baby "Will". His name will be William Mathews Baker, and we will call him Will!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We'll be cheering on the Tigers tomorrow as they take on Ole Miss! War Eagle!

Baby Baker Update!

I went to the doctor yesterday. Not very eventful, but did get to hear the heartbeat! The nurse said it sounded like a boy, but we'll see in a few weeks! We set our ultrasound up for Thursday, October 29. Then we'll know if Baby Baker is a boy or girl! We are so excited to find out!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. War Eagle!!!!!!!

We're Still Here!

Obviously I have tons of updating to do! Here goes:
We are now 14 weeks pregnant. My next Dr. visit is Thursday, Oct 1. Dr. Edwards told us at that visit we can set up our ultrasound to find out what Baby Baker is! Hopefully the ultrasound will be around the 3rd or 4th week of October.

Last weekend we were EXTREMELY busy! Friday night, I went with the girls to the Taylor Swift Concert! We had SO much fun! Taylor is an awesome performer! Kelly Pickler opened for her, and I am now a HUGE KP fan! She was really good, much better than she is on the radio. I've never been a huge fan of hers, but am now hooked to her music!

Saturday morning we got up and made the trip to Auburn for the AU vs. Miss State game. We had an awesome day and it was great to see everyone. It really makes you miss those college days though!

For this week, we have had a million things going on. To top everything off, I now have a bad sinus infection, so am even more exhausted than I have been the past few weeks. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I PROMISE to post pictures soon!

Our News!

So, I mentioned this in my "About Me" section, but Austin and I are expecting our first child! We are really excited. Our due date is around March 21, 2010. We got to hear Baby Baker's heartbeat yesterday, which was AMAZING!

We are about 12 weeks along. No belly posts yet, but I promise to get pictures up soon!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's 60th Birthday! Happy Birthday Dad, aka "Poppi"!!!!
We have lots of celebrating to do. Tonight, we are having dinner at my parent's house to celebrate. Tomorrow, Austin and myself, my Mom, and Michael and Jennifer are hosting a big party for him at our house. Sure it will be lots of fun! Can't wait for a party-filled weekend!

Happy Birthday Dad! Next year, Baby Baker will be here to celebrate #61!!!!!

Blogging World Here We Come!

So, I have officially crossed into the "World of Blogging". After being one of the few people in America that did not have a blog, I decided that being a Business Education teacher, I should try to stay with current technology (Since that's what I preach to my students!). So here we go.....Blogging here we come!



Not sure how good at this I will be or how often I will actually take the time to update, but I'll try my best to stay as current as possible!
