5 years!

About two weeks ago Michael and I celebrated our 5th anniversary! I can't believe it's been 5 years and I also can't believe it's only been 5 years. haha Does that make any sense? I feel like Michael has always been a part of my life. We didn't do much on our anniversary. We thought about going away for the weekend, but Michael's brother is getting married in Utah soon and so we will be travelling down there and also with Christmas coming up, along with trying to finish paying off student loans and hoping to buy a house in the not too distant future, we decided to stick around and keep it simple. We spent the day with Ty and then went out for a really nice dinner together. After we put Ty to bed we just laid in bed talking about each year we've been married. We talked about the highlights of each year. It was fun to think back on the early days of marriage and all that we've accomplished up until now. Michael brought up some memories I had forgotten about and the same vice versa. We talked for probably 2 hours of all the special moments that we have experienced in our marriage. I really can't think of a better way to celebrate our 5 year anniversary than to spend it talking about our most special moments and blessings. It really has been an amazing 5 years. We have definitely had some highs and lows although I'd say the highs waaaaay outdo the lows. I feel like my life is exactly where I dreamed it would be 5 years ago. Probably better. I can't wait to see what the next 5 bring for us. I feel so blessed to be married to Michael.

Baby Boy #2

Yesterday was a good day. Michael and I were able to go to my second ultrasound. The first was just an ultrasound we paid for to find out the gender of the baby. With Ty, I had a client do my ultrasound so she told us that we were having a boy. It was so special to find out during the ultrasound and be able to look at our baby and think, "Thats our son"! That's how we wanted to find out this time. In Lethbridge with your diagnostic ultrasound they will not tell you the gender. Instead you have to wait until your next doctors appointment and your doctor will disclose the information. The first ultrasound was really special. It's really quick, maybe only 10-15 minutes. We went into the room, both of us excited for whatever we found out. She starts the ultrasound and I get excited to see the baby, then she types on the screen "I am a BOY". I'm not sure if it's because I'm pregnant or not, but the tears just started coming. I kept picturing another son, a little brother for Ty, and then kept thinking of how much I love Ty and how much I will love this boy. When we found out with Ty we were both excited, but I think understanding how much I can actually love my son made finding out so much more emotional for me. I didn't feel any disappointment that this one isn't a girl. I am SO excited to have two sons. I just cannot wait for Ty to be a big brother.

The second ultrasound that took place yesterday was also amazing in other ways. We got to see so much more of him this time. Both Michael and I got to watch the whole time. The tech kept trying to get him to move to certain positions which allowed us more time to see him move around. It was cool to feel him move while seeing him move at the same time. I know you've all probably seen many ultrasound photos in your time, so these are mostly for our enjoyment but here are some photos of our little boy!

Pointing his finger 

His little feet together. He had his legs all stretched out as you can see in the next photo. 

Feet are on the left, bum on the right. These are his legs.  

A bent leg and his little belly.

I have a post I want to do about Ty with lots of cute pictures but it's telling me I'm all out of space. I've heard this happening a lot recently. It can't be that we are all filling our space at the same time, can it? Anyways, I guess I'll have to finally print off my blog! So hopefully I can do another post soon!
