mid-winter break :)

So Ryan and I have had a busy week. Greyson Ryan and I celebrated the news about having a boy with our families over on the westside. Our good friends the Hennigs coach girls basketball at Kentwood HS and are ranked #3 in the nation, so we went and got to see them play on Valentines day. Ryans Mom and Step-Dad came up to my parents house on Sunday to spend time with us and we were so happy they made the trip from Longview to my parents house.

We had a long mid winter break but we were both pretty eager to head back to work on Wednesday for a nice short week at school. Greyson is doing wonderful in school and is improving everyday on his reading and writing, it is truly amazing how a small child can learn and grow so much in 6 months.

Last night my co-worker Gina had a bunko party at there house which was so much fun. I had never played before and had a great time.

The baby is doing really well, I am 21 weeks and have a doctors appt on Thursday. On Friday I have to go back in for another ultrasound because last time the baby was playing peek-a-boo and wouldn't let us see his face! So we are hoping that he wont be as why on Friday. Last weekend I sprouted a belly! I felt like a littlerally woke up and there he was :) So here aer some new pics of baby McDaniel!

It's a......

BOY!!!!!!!!! So after 2 months of being convinced that we were having a girl yesterdays ultrasound proved other wise. Our little man was not shy about showing off and the second the ultrasound tech touched my belly we knew! Everything is going really well and the baby is growing perfect, we did not get any good face pictures because he was playing peel-a-boo with his hand and would not move them :) we are so happy that we have a new little guy. Greyson is soooooo excited. We came home from the ultrasound and the first thing he asked was "So wheres the baby?" we had to tell him that we had a little while longer until the baby would come home. He can not wait to teach his little brother how to play sports and of course candyland. Ryan Greyson and I are headed to the westside to spend time with out families and celebrate the news. This has been an amazing Valentines day and I could not have asked for anything better!

18 weeks

Hi Everyone! It is been awhile since I updated this so here we go. Last week I had a huge surprise when Deidre came to my school to visit. She stayed for dinner but had to back to Ellensburg because they have started there 6 am morning practices. This is her last year and I am sure she will be excited when she does her last 6am. We picked up Greyson on Friday and headed to the cabin. We were there Friday night and got to spend some good quality time with my parent Joe and Deidre. We spent the Superbowl at the Froula's house and ate WAY to much! It was an exciting game even if you didn't really care who won. We are headed to a school skating party tonight so that should be interesting for our whole family :) I put up some pics of the growing belly...Happy Monday :)

Ryan and I are counting down the days until we find out what the sex of the baby is....Feb 13th could not come soon enough :)
