It's a BOY!

We are excited to announce that our little baby is a boy!
We went for an early scan (16 +5 weeks) b/c my Dr. wouldn't see me for a gender scan until I'm at least 18 weeks and my mom was in town and wanted to be there for it. It was probably one of the most exciting days I've ever had. I'd have to say the best part of it was seeing our baby move around...all over the place! She had a hard time seeing between his legs because he would not stop moving. but after a few minutes he was still just long enough for the tech to get a quick picture and determine that he is definitely alllll boy! And after his first shot of between the legs, he was not shy! It was really cool to see him b/c the last time we saw our baby for an u/s was when I was only 6 weeks and he was just a little white dot.
It was so amazing to see him move his arms, fingers, and legs. And we saw him yawn, and stretch, and gosh... every little thing he did was so wonderful and amazing to watch. It was crazy to see him moving that much, because I can't feel any of it. I think I've felt him move around a few times but it's not very consistent. It was funny b/c while we were watching him he gave me a big kick right to my side but I didn't feel a thing.
I'm just so in love with him already it's ridiculous! I crave to see him again. And luckily, I have my 18-20 week appointment next Monday with the doc so I get to see him again in just one week! And we'll get to bring a DVD to record the ultrasound. And I'll probably be watching that 30 times a day, everyday until he's born.
Here are the pictures that we were able to take home with us.
This is his cute side profile. I love that nose of his!

Here is the front view (kind of looks a little alien-like)

And here's his little boy parts :)

And here is his cute little hand as he was turning over

And lastly, his cute, little, tiny foot! I never thought I'd be so obsessed with a foot! But his is definitely obsession worthy.

Happy baby days!!

A cheery update

So cheer has taken over my life!! It's like I'm back in high school all over again, except instead of having to do all the work, I get to tell everyone else what to do. But I love it! It's been really interesting to see the difference of how they (Payson) cheer and we (Hart) cheered. It's completely different! Hart cheer was more about the stunting and competition, where as Payson cheer is all about dancing with some tumbling and some stunting. Like their routines are 99% dancing and that 1% is split between tumbling and stunting. It's kind of an adjustment getting used to that but I actually love that they haven't done much with stunting b/c that leaves more room for me to help out. I've been able to teach them a lot and they're improving everyday. I can't wait to see where they are next year.
This last week they did their halftime routine at the football game and it looked awesome. Just thought I would share it b/c they worked so hard and I want them to get worldwide recognition :)

Oh and this last week has been awesome with injuries! We had a girl get a minor concussion and another girl got her eyebrow split open and had a small fracture in her nose. Go us...
In baby news, we had a 14 week check up today and doc said baby sounds good. Her/his heartbeat was between 150-160 and sounded very active. We could here baby moving around, it was the coolest thing. I can't wait until our next ultrasound. I haven't seen our baby since I was only 6 weeks! I'm dying to see what baby looks like now :)
