My biggest complaint is that I'm getting wide. Well really what should I expect it's going to happen. But still not pleasant. Going to have to buy some big pants and tent-like shirts. I'm not a clothes-buyer to begin with so it makes it doubly hard. I always fight Dan when we go shopping...he wants me to buy more and I come out with one item if he's lucky. Iris and my mom know this well.
This child will be the 7th grandchild for both sides. There hasn't been a baby born on my side since our beautiful niece Eva was born about 3 yrs ago. On Dan's side they'll be a cousin born about a month before ours.
I'm hoping for a girl. That's really all I know, girls...I only have sisters. My mom only has sisters. Dan's side has the opposite story. Dan's father only has brothers, 4, Dan only has brothers, 4, and Dan only has nephews, 5. We are grateful for our energetic niece Savannah who was adopted and provides great balance to the Colyar cousins. We hope to provide her a cousin that she can do girl-things with. Dan doesn't really have a preference. We will know mid March which genes are stronger.

Let the gene competition begin! I am so excited for you guys...you will make awesome parents! I feel you about getting wide. I am working on baby #2 already and when you are short like us you will end up being as wide as you are tall! But it is so worth all the humiliation, self-deprication, and eventual pain to have a tiny little person who, for a time, worships the ground you walk on. :)
P.S. ...still waiting to see the new bathroom...
YEAH! Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you! :) See? :) I was so looking forward to a girl when I was pregnant with Landon. And on top of being told he was a girl, it was so sad to have a boy. I know that sounds bad but now I love having boys! I really do want 2 girls though someday because I LOVE sisters and want my girls to have that too. We'll see if that happens! Congrats again!!!!
I'm thinking those girl genes might just be stronger... I'm really excited for you and can't wait to hear what it is!
Congratulations!!!
how EXCITING!!!!! :-) i had no idea...but then, that's probably because i'm so, so, SO behind on reading friends' blogs (sorry) and i haven't seen you say anything about it on FB... glad to hear you have been feeling well. that's lucky! and of course you are going to get wide; that baby doesn't have anywhere else to go in your petite body!! ;-) boy or girl, i know that babe will be a cutie and well-loved! can't wait to hear your news...
Congratulations! You guys will be awesome parents! I can't wait to see your cute baby when he/she arrives. I'm glad you haven't been sick!
