Looks like majority wins! We're having a lil' mister. As many of you know, Eric and I were both under the impression that we were only capable of making little girls and were therefore figuring that we'd be getting little missy #2. We already had her name picked out and everything. When the ultra sound tech said "ok, looks like it's a......." I was thinking "a girl, ya ya ya". So when she finished with "....BOY!" I swear I almost fell off the table. I actually asked her "seriously???" at which point she pointed to a certain part of the screen and said "yep, boy". She made sure to print off LOTS of the pictures and was nice enough to include the little pointer indicating "boy". This is great! We get one of each! I'm still trying to get use to the fact that Reagan is having a little brother. I almost feel like I don't know how to deal with a boy, haha! How do you play with a boy? So anyway, we are back at square one trying to think of names for this little man. So far he's going by lil' mister. Eric's nixed every name I've come up with so far and he hasn't thought of any yet so.....we're off to a great start : ) If you think of anything cute let me know, just none of this Huckleberry, Truman or Lionel nonsense (I do apologize if that happens to be your name, awkward moment I suppose).

Guessing Games
Have you seen those commercials for GE where they discover super scary diseases and cancers and tumors in life saving time because of their amazing products and advanced technology? Their slogan is "GE. Imagination at work". I am fascinated by technology and today especially fascinated with GE's technology. Specifically the Voluson 730. This is the ultra sound machine that they use at my OB's office and it is INCREDIBLE. The amount of minute details that they are able to see because of this machine is out of control. They were able to determine that our newest bundle (by the way I'm pregnant, I didn't actually post a blog about it but NOW YOU KNOW if you didn't before ; ) ) is forming nose cartilage, that I ovulated from my right ovary, that the baby's heart is beginning to form chambers and that stomach is developing "quite nicely". They were also able to tell something else while they were peeking around in there. That's right folks, they were able to determine the sex!! Apparently, once the child is at least 12 weeks old (mine is 12weeks 4 days today) they can determine the sex as long as the baby is cooperating. I was told during my last pregnancy that when they are looking at the baby to determine if it's a boy or girl they look for either a hot dog {boy} or a hamburger (bun, patty, bun, haha) {girl}. So before I spill the beans I want to play a little game. Guess what Lexi is having this time. Cast you vote in the comments section.
What do you think little missy #2 or little mister??

Movin' on and on...
Well, there is a lot going on in our little family as of late. For those out there in blogger land that don't know I am leaving my current employer USAA in order to stay at home with Reagan. It is a bittersweet feeling I have (tearing up as I write this, big shock right?!). I cannot wait to be with Reagan during the day but over the last 3.7 years I have grown to love my co-workers. What am I going to do without weekly stand-ups in the "Bistro" or indulgent department potlucks?! I can't believe it's finally time for me to stay home but it's with tearful eyes and a heavy heart that I say good-bye to my Underwriting family!

I'm soooo cool!
March 2010
Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE the Phoenix Zoo. My Grandparents bought me a membership for Christmas and I've enjoyed being able to go whenever I want. Reagan loves seeing all the animals and running around like a baboon!
These goats were pretty scary for Reagan at first but she quickly got the hang of it. In fact, one of the zoo workers said "she's a natural!" I was so proud ; )
She likes to be a big girl and push the stroller herself.
Admiring the giraffes. And yes she climbed up the fence/railing without assistance.
So her big thing lately is taking her princess chair and pulling it onto the couch with her and then sitting in it while its on the couch. It's always perched in a precarious position but I had to capture her joy and how cute and proud she looks.
