19/20 Weeks!!!

We are half way there!!! YAY! Time is flying and I am sure it will only go faster. I have been so blessed so far this pregnancy, because I have felt good and more importantly both of us have been healthy. I couldn't ask for more! Bradford is getting very big he is now measured in pounds instead of ounces, which is crazy. We have been out of town for a few weeks visiting family in Mississippi and traveling to VEGAS for my best friends wedding. I know yes I went to Vegas pregnant and it was actually really really fun. And of course totally worth it since I got to be there for Chrissy and John's BIG DAY:) Another fun activity (well at least for me) was taking pictures for our OB here in Gainesville. They are revamping their website and asked us to model. I had a great time and Will was a good sport. The best part was that they chose us for the ultrasound pictures sooooo not only did we get some great shots of us, but we got to see Bradford!! He is getting so BIG....the difference between 17 weeks and 20 weeks was crazy. Oh and of course he is about the cutest fetus ever haha not that I have seen many others (sorry yes I am afraid I have official become that mom).

ITS A........

BOY!!! We went to the Dr. on Thursday (May 3rd) and had our second ultrasound. Will and I discussed before the appointment that we didn't want to know the sex unless the Dr. was 100% sure!!! We shared this with our Dr. before the ultrasound, and she agreed. We had heard horror stories about couples finding out its a boy/girl and then having the sex "change" at a later appointment and we didn't want to chance it with baby J. The Dr. went from the head to the toes measuring and making sure that everything is developing correctly and thank God it is!! Then she said that she was 100% sure that she knew the sex and asked if we wanted to know we both said "YES" probably a little loud haha.... and she said ITS A BOY!!!I leaned up and looked at Will's face and he was shocked/happy/shocked/excited all at once it was a really special moment. After leaving the Dr. office, we went and met up with a group of our FL friends and had such a great night. We didn't have to tell them the sex they knew by Will's beaming face!! The next morning we drove to MS and shared the news with Will's family actually Cooley shared the news. I went online and ordered two t shits one "Its A Boy" blue shirt and one "Its A Girl" pink shirt. We let Cooley run around the house in the blue shirt to make the announcement!! My parents had a dinner party with family and friends and Will and I send a cake announcing Its A Boy! My mom is coming to MS to help me register later this week and I am very excited!! I am ready to start shopping. I almost forgot Baby J will be named...............................................

James Bradford Janoush 

James is Will and Paul's (Wills dad) first name. Bradford is after both Will's uncle and cousin. We will call him Bradford! I am so glad to finally call Baby J by his name it makes the whole experience seem very real!!
