Cafe Beezell: 2011

I bet you are in shock that i actually have a new blog post! Me too! I am embarrassed that it has been a year, a YEAR :( So many wonderful memories have been made by my family since then and i have just not made the time to post. Maybe i will soon do a recap of a few highlights! Anyways, we are excited to announce that our family is expanding and we will be adding a BOY to the mix. I am super excited and at the same time overwhelmed. I have a lot to learn....growing up with a sister, girls are all that i know.

Most of you know that i have been having frequent ultrasounds due to a subchorionic hemorrhage . It has been a very scary experience but the prayers and support of my family and friends have given me hope and i have just had to put complete faith in my God who is in control. The benefit to frequent ultrasounds ( and i mean like 2-3 a week for the first three weeks and now just 1 a week) is that i have been able to follow the growth of this baby as sonographically (? i may have just made that word up) as possible! It is truly amazing to see the growth in two days and in two weeks!

I am now 17 weeks and the ultrasound tech told Daniel and I that she could tell us the sex of the baby with certainty. It was important to us that Leighton was included in the process, so all three of us anxiously awaited as the ultrasound tech did her job. Leighton loved hearing the heart beat and one time, the baby waved at us and she waved back! (so cute)

We invited both our families to meet us a Mellow Mushroom on Thursday night for the big reveal. We had Mellow Mushroom write in pepperoni on the pizza. Check out several of our photos from the night!
