Anniversary present to us: We're having a GIRL!

Hello everyone!

As a lot of you know, we are expecting a little girl! We found out early Friday and couldn't wait to start shopping!

Saturday was a wonderful day all around. First, it was our 1-year wedding anniversary. We chatted how only a year ago we were getting ready for one of the biggest days of our life (or biggest up to that point). We had a blast and wished that we could do the whole day over again- just to experience it. Instead, we headed to Hutchinson to pick up my mom and go baby shopping, which was a perfect runner-up choice! We went to USA Baby in Richfield, if you are a mom or expecting-mom and haven't been there you should check it out (P.S. they are having a huge Memorial Day sale now through Monday- 20% off everything in the store..even clearance items!) It was a great decision!! After looking at all the bedding we couldn't have (because they were boy colors...) Corey found the bedding which ended up coming home with us! I couldn't ask for a more excited and willing to help husband. He was like a kid in a candy store, running around picking out bedding, lamps, mobiles, stuffed animals and so forth. We had a blast! Not to mention we also found a crib and bedroom furniture for her room as well-to top it off we found it in the clearance area and saved some $$.

From there, we headed back to Hutchinson to suprise my mom with a birthday party. Her family was already at my sister's house and we had a blast. That night we stopped by Corey's parents house to show them our purchases before we headed home.

Sunday morning we woke up and began thinking about the purchases we made and realized that the furniture just wouldn't be able to fit in the baby room....so we decided to switch our upstairs bedrooms around! So guests have been downgraded to the smaller bedroom and our little unborn spoiled bundle of joy is having the bigger room. This is perfect since it is already painted! Corey debated about going and picking up the baby furniture but decided to hang out around the house instead, which he deserves! Once the room is all put together I will take pictures for you! I headed to Litchfield to host my best friend's (Sarah Fischer-Anderson) baby shower and enjoyed the afternoon with her and her family. By the time I got home I was exhausted and had all I could do to keep from falling asleep at 6pm.

With so much to do over the week-end it is a blessing that I have been feeling so great! The doctor said everything looked great and she is developing well. She is right on schedule for a 10/10/2010 delivery (I thought my due date was the 9th but I was wrong...I am sure I won't deliver on this day, but how fun would it be??). We peaked in on her when she was sleeping and therefore got to watch her stretch as she woke up. I still don't truly feel that she is in my belly or that we are becoming parents but it is still a very exciting time for us!

Racing update: Corey raced in Princeton on Friday night (I stayed home and caught up on laundry and other "house" items). He had a blast in the heat battling it out but then the B Mod consi came and didn't treat us too well. The next 2 week-ends we have stuff going on so we will take a break and try to get refreshed and start again the 2nd week-end in June.

Thanks for checking in!
