Picture time!

This is our little boy! Isn't he adorable already?!?! This is by far my favorite pic of him because you can see his lips and little nose! The u/s tech said he was "photogenic". OF COURSE he is!! That's my son!!! :)



This next one is SO fitting. At the 11 week u/s he gave us a "thumbs up" as you can recall. Well, this one he's saying he's #1! He's practicing his Pirate finger!



And PROOF that he IS a boy:



The scary face alien look (which is how he always starts u/s...looking right at us! His hands are actually covering up his ears in this pic. :( Hope the u/s waves didn't hurt his ears too bad!):



And the rest are just cool pictures:
Here he bucked his head back a little:



And finally, this shows his perfect round head! The black spot you see in his chest is something...like an organ of somesort...maybe his stomach? I don't remember!



That's it! When I finish my school work, I'm going to go out and order the bedding (I think) from this store in Greenville. I think it's about $100 cheaper to order it from here, verses BRU. Crazy huh? If I get it, I'll post a pic of the bedding. We may not have to paint the walls in there cause it's already blue! I've got to make sure it's the right blue though for the bedding. I'm also going to start working on cleaning out the room that will be the nursery. It's been our guestroom and the closet has been a storage room basically, so it's time to start getting rid of some of that stuff in there.

Let me just say that I'm SO excited and feel SO blessed right now. I can't believe this is my life. I'm so lucky to have all the things that I have, and now having the family that me and Brian have always wanted and talked about is thismuch closer. Matthew is the perfect name; it means "gift of God" and that seriously can not be more true. I'm so blessed.
