Go Cougars!

Last June we went to the BIG ultrasound. The one where you find out if you're having a girl or a boy. We were both super anxious and could barely stand the wait. Of course the nurse went through 
e v e r y t h i n g else before revealing the babies gender. We definitely wanted to know that the baby was developing normally, take a moment to count the fingers and toes, etc. but beyond that, come on!! Just get to the reason we're here already! So many times during the process I wanted to shout, "We don't care how many centimeters the baby's head is! Just tell us if it's a girl or a boy! You're killing us here!"

Once about 3/4 of the way through the appointment the nurse slipped up and said, "ok, I'm trying to find his...." I thought to myself, "Did she just say his?!" I gave Justin a sideways glance to see if he noticed but he was still intently looking at the baby on the screen. 

When she finally announced, "Well, it looks like you're having a boy!" we couldn't believe it. I looked over at Justin and he had the biggest smile on his face. He was SO excited but all he could muster to say was a disbelieving "Wow!" as if he couldn't believe his luck.

----------------------------------------

To say that Justin is excited to have a little buddy would be the understatement of the century. From the moment he heard he was having a son I imagine he's been planning all the fun things they are going to do together. I'm not entirely sure, but he may even have a username chosen for the day Nolan joins his fantasy baseball league :).

(Let's be honest here though, knowing me, any girls we might have will be just as into sports. We all know that haha).



But I think one of the things he looks forward to most is taking his son to some BYU football games. He's so excited to teach him all about the game and the players and positions. 

We took the first step in making that dream a reality this weekend when we went to BYU's spring scrimmage. Nolan was an angel like always and seemed to enjoy taking in the fresh air and watching the players on the field. 

We couldn't resist snapping these adorable pictures of him in the car waiting to go into the stadium!



See that adorable BYU onesie he's wearing? It says "There's no crying in football" and has a stretch 'Y' on it. Ya, he blew out of it about 15 minutes into the scrimmage. But I didn't realize it until I got to the restroom to change him so I didn't have a spare onesie for him. I tried to just clean the shirt but just as I sat him up to try to clean it (trying to avoid getting more poop on him or me), he decided it was the perfect time to spit up on me as well haha. I played it cool though and cleaned myself off with a wipe, hiked his pants up to cover the poop stain, and back to the football game we went! We're pretty hard core.

Great blog with a lot of really awesome photos. We love reading all about Nolan and how your lives have been so blessed. We are really looking forward to seeing you three in a few weeks. Nolan seems to be getting more handsome with every new set of pictures. He is going to have to be really fast to outrun all the girls that will be chasing him. :)
