Boy or Girl?!?!?

We are definitely having a boy!! The ultrasound is a little too graphic to show :) But our doctor had no doubt and we were just so excited to have another ultrasound. It is crazy that just a few weeks ago we could see the whole baby in one picture and now you only see one part of the baby at a time. It makes it a lot more real to know that this parasite inside of me is going to be a little baby boy. Plus now Brady can feel the baby kicking me, so that has been really fun. It was a wonderful birthday present as we celebrated my birthday just a few days after the ultrasound.

Here's a pic of my huge belly. Don't be deceived, I'm only 4 1/2 months along, not 7 months like I look here. Here's another pic where I'm not sitting or slouching to compare.

M I S S I S S I P P I !!!

We visited Brady's parents in Jackson Mississippi for ten days recently. It was such a wonderful, relaxing trip...except for the flight over there.
This is Brady in the airport for the second day after our second plane cancellation. We were all dressed up for zone conference that morning but we didn't make it in time. So instead I changed into pants and took a 2 hour nap on the floor.

When we finally made it 24 hours after we were supposed to, we had a great time.
Here we are with the Assistants in the mission home. I wish we would have taken a picture with Tom and Annette while we where there.

We went to Vicksburg and toured some civil war sites.

And we drove through Yazoo City where a tornado hit in april.
This building was missing half of its roof and all of its windows

I can't imagine having your whole neighborhood destroyed and having to just abandon it. The devastation was so sad.

Here is Brady pointing to an aligator in the water. Good luck finding it since only its eyes were popping out of the water. We watched it for a while and were so excited to check "seeing an aligator" off our list of things to do.

And here is a little turtle that played with us for a while on Tom and Annette's back patio before it walked under a tree to hide from the scorching heat.

We had so much fun with Tom and Annette and we're so greatful for all the excitement and entertainment they provided for us! We already miss them like crazy and can't wait to visit them next time with our lil baby.
