It's (going to be) a GIRL!

We had our ultrasound on June 2nd, and much to my surprise, it's a GIRL!! I was shocked...I thought for sure that it was going to be a boy. The only girl names that we have agreed on so far are Cora Jane (my favorite), and Dana Claire, which was Tom's grandpa's name. With Cora Jane, Jane was Paula's middle name, plus it's my Grandma Vogel's middle name, and it's Tom's aunt's (middle) name. So, we could cover all three of them with that name! We haven't decided anything for sure yet, but I think we are leaning towards Cora.

Blake has been talking like crazy lately, to the point that we really have to watch what we say, because he is repeating a lot too.

Over this past week, I can faintly feel the baby kick, from the outside. This baby seems very active this early, but I guess I don't remember for sure how active Blake was at this time. I just don't remember feeling movement everyday consistently at 20 weeks or so. I am almost 21 weeks pregnant, past the halfway point. Truly, hard to believe!

We got Blake a toddler bed from Jody, so now we just have to get working on his new room!

I've decided to start my own little side business. I've had several people comment about my photography skills and have asked if I would photograph their children. I finally decided that I may as well make up a little price list, so that I can get compensated for my time. I've already got about 6 people that want me to do their photos, and I haven't even finalized the price list yet! It should be fun though! Plus with the profits, maybe I can purchase more photography equipment!!

We took the day off work today (since Blake daycare was closed) and took him to the Frankenmuth zoo. It's a small zoo, but just perfect for a 2 year old. I will post some photos a little later.
