Stork Sighting

No, we're not avid birdwatchers. And no, we haven't actually seen a stork recently.  But! We are happy to announce....

...WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!

We are so excited to share the news and excitement with everyone.  It's  completely a bit  unexpected, but extremely welcome news.  :)  Baby Blomquist is set to come on April 5th, making me 19 weeks pregnant now.  We are going in to get THE ultrasound done tomorrow and we are full of emotions; nervous/excited/giddy/happy/anxious/hungry. (Okay, that last one is just one of mine recently)  

Anyway, since we can't be with everyone to do an amazing gender reveal party (you should see my dreams lately, full of pink and blue and excitement and gender revealing. I wish we lived close to everyone!), we wanted to hear your guesses on what we're cooking up over here.  Here's a little help if you want more than just your gut instinct: 

·         Chinese calendar (based on mother's age and month of conception): Boy 

·         Heartbeat (faster than 150 bpm = girl; slower than 150 bpm = boy): Perfect 150, so… Toss up!

·         Morning sickness (very sick = girl; not so sick = boy): Girl

·         Skin (breakouts = girl; clear skin = boy): Girl

·         Leg hair growth (no more than usual = girl; lots of growth = boy): Boy (TMI? Sorry. J)

Cravings (sweet = girl; salty = boy): Boy                  

·         Feet (hot = girl; cold = boy): Girl

·         Bump position (high and wide = girl; low and centered = boy): Girl

·         Breast growth (lots of growth = girl; not much = boy): Girl

·         Mayan calendar (if mother's age at conception and year of conception are both even/odd = girl; if one is even and one is odd = boy): Boy

·         Sympathy weight (if your husband gains weight during the pregnancy = girl; if he doesn't = boy): Boy

·         Ring test (ring swings back and forth = girl; ring swings in a circle = boy): This was a toss-up!

·         My "mother's intuition" says Girl

·         Cory's "father's intuition" says Boy

·         Totals: 6 Boy and 6 Girl with 2 unsures. 

So there it is boys and girls (ha!), let us know what you think and if you want to join us for a google hangout tomorrow to find out! 

We love you all!

Love,

Cory and Bree...and Baby!! :)
