It's a...

BOY!!
We're sooo excited!
He was quite uncooperative but the tech spent a long time making sure, and we are 90% confident.  Of course the umbilical cord was in the way but the tech said she could tell the difference.  I've got my study appointment on Wednesday so we'll hopefully get some confirmation!
 
We did a gender reveal party with some friends in SLC which was really fun.  We were split 50/50 so it was really fun to tell everyone.  Cali of course helped us.  We had some snacks, some blue cupcakes and played some lawn games. 
 
Andy ran his 3rd marathon on Saturday morning with Zane.  It was a pretty course that started in the middle of the Salt Lake on Antelope Island.  The downside being that it was a 6:30 am start.  I left  the house at 3:20am to meet Zane and drive up!  The first ten miles were spent running up the island as the sun rose over the mountains.  That part was great, then we ran across the 7 mile causeway that connected the island to land and things went downhill.  The last 9ish miles were through some pretty lonely farm country and residential areas.  It went well and I finished up the 26.2 miles at 3:37 hours, a new personal best, and the top time in the 25-29 age category, 16th overall.  Feeling pretty sore, and missing some skin from the bottoms of my feet, but that's about the worst of it.  Who knows if there's another one in my future?
 
Now that I have some inspiration the sweat shop is back in business!  I bought some cute flannel to make burp cloths and some fabric that will hopefully work in the baby room.  Not quite sure what I'm going to do yet...I also bought some of the super soft cuddle fabric and I'm going to make a critter blanket.  http://www.cuddlesoftkits.com/cuddlesoftkits/critter-blankets-step-by-step.htm
My family of course collected a crap ton of those beanie babies so I've got every animal under the sun to choose from.  I also designed a super cute penguin quilt that I started on but never finished that will be perfect for the little guy.  And then 8 billion bibs...so, if anyone would like some bibs, burp cloths or onesies for gifts for friends let me know!
 
We are super excited!  Still getting used to saying "he".  We've started throwing around names.  So glad we have 5 months to figure that out...
 
Till next week!
Love,
Lexi and Andy
