It's a.....




BOY!  Words cannot express my feelings tonight.  I am in complete shock and so excited. I thought for sure it was a girl. 

Wednesday morning we arrived at the drs office and I was nervous but I had Diet coke that morning and I knew what to expect.  They called us back and the tech asked if we wanted to know the gender, I told her that I wanted Matthew to know, but that I did not want to know.  So, they checked baby out, looked at the brain, heart, kidneys, and all that fun stuff.  The baby was curled in a ball, so they were unable to see the septum of the heart.  She tried for a while to see that, then decided to move on to gender.  I closed my eyes and she went searching.  She looked, and looked, and shook my belly, and shook my belly....nothing.  The baby was curled up in a ball and the cord was in a very inconvenient location. I walked around jumped around...and the dr. came in and tried to see the septum and the gender.  No luck.  So when we left the appointment we had no idea what the gender was and a gender reveal party scheduled for today.  So, we did what all crazy people do, and we called one of those 3d/4d ultrasound places and they just so happened to have an appointment available that afternoon. 

So, when we got to the 3d place it was supposed to be a 10-15 min appt.....that lasted for 45 minutes.  She found the same problem...cord in the way.  I thought we were going to leave there without knowing as well.  Just as we got ready to call it quits, the girls eyes got really big and I knew she could see it.  Yay!  So she said she knew 100% and printed pictures.  Matthew agreed and took the pictures. 

So the past two days Matthew has known and I have not.  Thankfully he didn't totally torture me with it.  I was sure from the way he was acting that it was a girl.  I am wondering if I should be concerned about how good of a liar he is...lol...just kidding....sort of. 

We are having a boy.  His initials will be W.D.  We will do his room in aqua and navy (and either yellow or red as an accent.)  I am beyond excited, but worried too.  I don't have much experience with baby boys!

Trying times...

  Yes, today is 14 weeks and yes a picture is coming I promise, but hubby isn't home yet.  :(  But I need to vent.  Today has been a very emotionally trying day.  Life seems to be overwhelming me (probably along with a few hormones too!) and I am really struggling today.  Between work, grad school, and other aspects of life, I am left worn out and stressed out.  I am well aware that I am very blessed.  I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities in life and even now with this baby on the way I realize how great I have things.  However, maybe this baby is helping me to put things into perspective.  Some of the things that I once found so important don't seem to matter as much.  Deadlines have been mere suggestions lately.  Most of all, I feel like I am struggling to find my voice in the sea of those who want to tell me what to do, how to do it, or how I should be feeling right now.  I can't decide if I want to cry or sleep.  I know that many of you are going throu

Holy Week

This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few cravings this week, but unfortunately, I am cravi

Whadda ya think?

So, now that we have shared our big news, everyone's next question is..."well, are you going to find out the gender?"  My response is "ABSOLUTELY!" Ha!  My Type A- OCD personality has to find out.  Many people love the element of surprise that comes with not finding out, but I think the surprise of just meeting our beautiful baby will be enough, the rest must be planned.  :)  As far as preference, we don't really have one.  I would love to have a little girl to put big bow and flowers on their head and to cover in ruffles and frills, but a little boy would be tons of fun.  As long as the baby is happy and healthy, we are thrilled either way.  I have had several people make their suggestions as to gender based on my appearance.  One family member says it's a boy cause I am carrying all in front, a friend says it's a girl cause I am carrying down low.  My friends think it's a boy cause I haven't been puking like they were and they both had girl
