and it's a....

sunday morning i woke up feeling awful.

i was cramping soooo bad... and it wasnt crohns cramping.

so i just figured it must just be braxton hicks or something but 

i am still pretty early so i didnt really know what to think.

but as the day went on i started feeling better, just really tired...

monday morning i woke up to the same cramping.

so just to be on the safe side i called the doctor and they decided to have us come in.

so that afternoon we went in and got everything checked out.

luckily everything looked great it was just a little infection.

while she was doing our ultrasound we got a sneak peak to see we are

having a little boy!

it was so fun seeing him... but oh my goodness i swear he is a wild little child!

he's a wiggly little bugger and wouldnt stay still at all and he was

all flapping his sweet little hands everywhere. 

so since he wouldnt sit still they couldnt get a picture or another clear shot 

that he is a boy so she told us she was very confident but dont go out buying everything blue.

madyn's drawing of her and Ty :)

after our appointment dad was about to town so we went out

and had lunch with him and the guys while they were passing through.

that evening we went to watch the cowboys play basketball.

about 5 minutes to half time the power went out.

so we sat around for a bit and after seeing on facebook that all of laramie

was out of power we decided to stick around to see if it would kick back on.

it didnt really make sense to go home and sit in the cold and dark.

at least at the double a we had heat and some light from their generators.

so i guess after 2 hours the rule is they dont count the game as a win or a lose.

so about 4 minutes before they were going to call the game the power came back on.

since a lot of people had already left they let everyone that stayed pick where they want to sit.

so we got to sick courtside.

it was honestly probably the funnest game that we have been to in a long time.

it was a fairly close score. the fans we were sitting around were fun.

it was honestly so fun.

and poor little miss was completely out!

she was such a little trooper.

the next day we were out doing some grocery shopping

and oh my goodness i couldnt help myself!

look at this cute little outfit that we can bring him home in!

i know she told us not to go out and buy anything.... but i figured it

was just one outfit and i could always return it :)

wednesday eric had to work in the evening and with school being out

we decided to have a little christmas party for the young women in the ward at our house.

we bumped it up to earlier so we could watch the bowl game that was later that evening.

it was a pretty good game between Wyoming and BYU...

we got a bit behind but near the end we had started to come back.

we were getting pretty close to the end and winning or going to overtime and we threw 

an interception.

we were pretty bummed to loose... especially to BYU...

but at least it was a good game to watch.

the rest of the week we took it pretty easy.

i know it's pretty silly but i honestly really just wanted to do a puzzle....

so we went and bought a couple and i spent most of my time doing them.

friday night we went out to look at Christmas lights.

Madyn loved doing that.

Saturday we cooked our nice Christmas dinner since eric had to work on Christmas day.

we had prime rib and it was pretty delicious.

i told madyn that all i wanted for christmas was for her to draw a picture

of our family

i thought she did pretty good.

then she drew a picture for santa to show him what she wants.

she wanted a toy kitty cat.

and she made it quite clear that she wanted it to be a toy and not a real cat

to everyone she talked to.

boy that girl makes me happy :)

even though saturday night (christmas eve) it was a nightmare trying

to get her to bed...

she kept saying how she hoped santa would get his treat.

(we set him out goldfish crackers and water... i totally dropped the ball on that one)

it's a good thing we love that little stink!

even when it takes her FOREVER to get to sleep!
