Preston Robert Hughes

Yesterday we went to the doctor for the routine 14/15 week pregnancy checkup. For whatever reason I was thinking I was getting an ultrasound, however they told me I wasn't! When my nurse walked in the room she said we were just going to take measurements and listen to the heartbeat (which was amazing). Glen told Cyndee (my favorite nurse in the entire world) that I was really hoping to get an ultrasound and maybe find out the sex.

She looked at me and said sure, lets go in the other room and see if we can see anything... and we did!! We saw a little pee pee! We we're so excited. Both Glen and I have been saying it was a baby boy the entire time so it was really nice to finally have the proof we wanted to confirm what we already knew. I love my nurse and doctor, they are the worlds greatest! And I love my husband even more for asking them to give us an ultrasound!

Now that I am feeling much better, I am in the mood to shop! Ever since we first found out we were pregnant, we have been looking around at various baby items... We haven't made any purchases yet, but these are a few things that we really like...


What are some of your favorite baby items/brands? I feel like there aren't many places to shop around in Utah, but my mom says we will go to all her favorite shops in Arizona. I know May is a long, long, ways away... but, I can't help myself! I spent the first trimester throwing up all day, and now I want to celebrate feeling like half myself (if only I could get the emotional hormones under control I would be my full self).

I am so glad you guys finally know what you are having! you guys are going to be great parents! Have fun shopping!!

FUN! It's so much more real when you know the sex huh? Like I know....HAHAH....so I've heard. Sorry can't help you out on the brands. But those items look really savvy. good luck shopping!

yay congrats! now the shopping begins! hahaha. Let's see, the diaper genie is fab, in my opinion, and Callum loves his Baby Bjorn. It's a nice way to be hands free and he gets to look out at the world. and I've heard a lot about the bugaboo but we went with the orbit---and LOVE it. So compare those two and see what you think, they're about the same price so the rest is just preference. The orbit has probably been our favorite purchase. Just a few things that we've loved. YAY for Preston!
