BOY!! Who knew? I certainly thought it would be a girl. But I guess Buddy wins, and I'm actually fine with losing a bet in this case. The pic above is from a baby generator, and I hope our little boy doesn't look quite that fruity. But we'll love him no matter what ;) We're really excited, and we also found out that I am farther along than we thought. My original due date was June 14th, but it's now been moved up to June 8th. Since everything is a competition, the goal is now to see if the baby will be born on anyone's birthday. Papa Hulet used to be closest with June 13th, but now Momma Hulet and Papa Beazer are edging in with June 2nd, and June 1st, respectively.

The ultrasound tech was not very friendly, but after I told him that Buddy and I were competing-Buddy thinking it's a boy, and me thinking it's a girl-he was more than happy to choose sides with Buddy and announce "Congratulations! You're going to have a REAL baby!" Pu-leeze.

The funny thing is, even before we were pregnant we spontaneously bought a little boy's outfit from the nike outlet (it's a little air jordan outfit with basketball shorts and matching shirt and jacket). We couldn't resist because it was so awesome. I'm glad that we will actually get to use it :) Also, my mom went shopping before we told her and she bought a lot of boy things. We're both lucky, I guess. And apparently that's where I get it from.

We got an ultrasound picture printed off, too, but I need to find somewhere to scan it in before we can post it. The tech said that the baby's nose was kinda pointed up in the air, too. Like a little snooty Beazer. What fun...

I posted a link/button on the side of our blog so you can all vote on what to name our l'il bundle of boy. We probably won't listen to what you vote for and will name him whatever we want, but I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys think. Enjoy!

I may not have been sick...

So today I was going to be such a good blog co-author by taking a picture of my newly showing pregnancy belly for the world to see. I hadn't known what I was going to write about, but I figured it would come. I was feeling fat today, but I figured "so be it" since I was supposed to be proving how big I was getting anyway.

I showered and picked out my outfit (which I thought would be cute but tight enough to show my belly), did my makeup to match the outfit, and did my hair. I was gonna look good for this picture, no matter what! Excitedly, I took the camera out to buddy, asked him to take my picture, and proceeded to pose in the best best pregnancy shot I knew how. The first thing buddy says to me is "I think that shirt is too ruffly to show off your belly." A good point, actually. But I had taken so long to get ready, and I was frustrated that I didn't have any other good shirts to wear.

I put on a white shirt that buddy approved of, but I realized when buddy was about to snap the photo that I had a scowl on my face. Instead I said, "this isn't going to work, because now I'm mad" and then stormed off to the bedroom, where I proceeded to cry. In the other room, I could hear buddy faintly ask, "so no more pictures?"

And, that, my friends, is how my pregnancy is going. I may not be sick, but I think maybe buddy would prefer that to angry crying attacks. And yes, no pictures. At least not today. :)

Christmas surprise 2009!

Well, it's been way too long since our last post so I'm not going to try and catch everyone up on what we have been doing over the last 4 months because that would take way too long. Instead, I will write about our exciting Christmas.

The first Christmas surprise was for my Grandma Blair. My family had never spent a Christmas with her because she had lived in Florida and Texas which were so far away from Canada. So this year we decided to surprise her by having the whole family go to Houston for Christmas, but we didn't let her know we were coming. Becky and I were the first to shock her by showing up the week before Christmas and then the rest of the family trickled in later that night and the following day. It was great to see her reaction and I know the whole family being there made this Christmas extra special for her.

The second Christmas surprise this year had to do with the picture below:

That's right, we're going to have a baby! A while after we found out that Becky was pregnant, we decided that we would surprise our families for Christmas. We ordered these customized blue and pink M&M's that said "We're pregnant", wrapped them up and sent them out to our family members noting that they weren't to open them until Christmas Day. We thought this was a good idea because this way nobody in either of our families would feel like they were the last ones to know. I think almost everyone waited until Christmas Day to open them and were completely surprised just like we were hoping for, although a couple of family members thought that we had just sent them a small, lame bag of candy until they actually read the fine print on the M&M's. Surprise!

Keeping a secret for a couple of months isn't very easy either as both Becky and I found out. I was actually really proud of Becky because I didn't think she would be able to do it. She doesn't have the greatest track record for keeping secrets and claims that she inherited it from her Mother. That couldn't possibly be true, could it Momma Hulet?

Here is a video of the Beazer family opening up our present. I thought it was funny how after my little sister announced that we were pregnant the rest of my family just stood there frozen for a few seconds. Either they didn't believe it, were shocked, or they just weren't listening. My Dad asking, "How did that happen" in the video was also pretty amusing. We still haven't told him how :) I really wish we could have been in two places at once to see and record the Hulet family's reaction when they opened theirs. Oh, and please just act like you didn't hear the goofy laughing in the background.

We're so excited to be having a baby! Becky's due date is on June 14 and so far she has been lucky enough not to have experienced most of the negative symptoms associated with pregancy.
