Mid pregnancy ultrasound!!

Brian and I were sooooo anxious waiting for this day to come! It was AMAZING getting to see our little baby! He has grown so much since that very first ultrasound when he looked like a little peanut! Now he looks like a real baby :) We were so excited to get to find out what the gender was...and when they said "It's a BOY!" Brian was smiling ear to ear! I have to admit, a little tiny part of me was hoping for a girl, so I could dress her up in cute girly stuff, but I am very proud to say we are having a little boy! He is going to be just has handsome as his daddy! And it makes me smile to think about all the things they will get to do together and all the things Brian will be able to teach him! And I am excited to get to have a mother/son bond!

During the ultrasound, baby Stoker was being a little stubborn and he had fliped over to were he was facing my back and the ultrasound tech had to poke and prod and jiggle my tummy to try and get him to roll back over.
At one point, he had both of his legs stretched out and crossed at the ankles and he had his hands behind his head, then he yawned and we got to see it all! It was sooooo cute!!
I am so thankful that everything on the ultrasound was okay and he is measuring well. I cannot express how thankful I am that Brian and I are blessed with this little baby boy :)

Baby Stoker's 1st outfit!

We were out with my mom shopping for some maternity clothes since I was having to keep my regular pants secured together using a rubber band, when we came across the cutest outfit! My mom just had to buy it since it was so fitting for a Stoker baby.

Thanks Mom!

Keeping track of the baby bump

7 weeks

11 weeks

16 weeks

18 weeks

My belly is growing more each day and I am getting super excited!! I have been feeling little flutters, like popcorn popping. I can't wait to start feeling stronger movements!

General Conference

My first time going to General Conference was amazing. I loved the talks and the experience was wonderful. Temple square was beautiful and it was the first time I had been there with Brian!

I Love You More

I love you more now than ever before
I love you more than all the houses in the world

When you look me in the eyes
I can't help but get butterflies

I love the way your lips feel against mine
I love the fact you'll always be my valentine

I love you more than I love french fries
I love you more than anything I could ever buy

Nothing is better than seeing you smile
It sees to take my breath away for awhile

I love the way you run your fingers through my hair
I love the fact that you and I are a pair

I love you more than a warm summer day
I love you more than sitting on the beach, listening to the waves

You always seem to turn my frown upside down
I can't help but smile when we laugh and joke around

I love the way you hold my hand
I want you to know that I'm your number #1 fan

I love you more than the month of June
I love you more than any song on itunes

At the end of a long day when you hold me tight
you have a way of reassuring me everything will be alright

I love to look back at all the silly things we do
I love it when you look at me like I'm the only person in the room

I love you more and more each day
I love you more today than I did yesterday

Dedicated to my wonderful husband
