We had another monthly dr. appointment today and it was exciting. I knew I probably wasn't scheduled for a sono this time, but Pam, the sonographer, had told me last time that if he didn't schedule me for one, that she was do a quick scan to determine sex if she could. So while they were taking my vital signs I asked if I was having a sonogram today and the nurse said no, so then I asked her if she could see if Pam was busy. So they were able to sneak us (me, Chris and Brooklyn) back and Pam made good on her promise. Immediately, she was able to see the sex! She didn't do any measuring or anything, we just found out what it is and got a fews pics. After we were done, we went to a room to wait for the doctor. When he came in, he did his thing, then said that he would see us again in a month. During that visit, we would have another sonogram and we would do all the fun stuff, like finding out the sex and such :) Chris, Brooklyn & I just looked at each other and smiled. Pam had not written on the chart that she had done a scan. We got a big kick out of it after we left. So needless to say, we'll have to act surprised again next month! But I am so thankful that Pam did that for us, because now I can start planning more. Oh yeah, did I mention that Chris has a little back up entering the world this Fall. We found out today that new baby Neyland is a BOY!!! I really can't believe it. I just figured that we were meant to have all girls, especially since Chris' sisters have always said that would be the case!!! But it looks like Ally Harper and Brooklyn will be having a little brother! Now the planning starts. Part 2 of the OCD Nursery Planner is in effect!

Sorry for the quality of pic's I had to take a snapshot of the actual pictures, but at least you can see HIM!!!

Trip to the zoo.

The day before Mother's Day, Ally Harper got to visit the Jackson Zoo for the first time. It was a great day for the trip. She had a good time, but I think we may be spoiled. We visited the National Zoo in D.C. last year, and no where could ever live up to that one! But all in all we enjoyed the day together.

Look what we found in our garage!

We have several wild cats in the neighborhood and recently saw a mama cat moving her kittens to somewhere behind our house. Well last week, there was a horrible stinch in the garage and Chris saw where the was cat poop in there. So instead of leaving the door open in the daytime, I started shutting it. Well the other night Chris was out with the dog and he heard that mama cat meowing loudly at the garage door. She was wanting to get back into the garage. So we opened the door and she ran in and went straight to her 3 babies hidden in the corner!!! So we left them alone, gave mama some milk and left a crack in the garage door so she can come and go. Well the next day when Brooklyn came home she was excited about seeing the kittens and you would know, mama cat had moved them! Just her luck. Well just a few minutes ago, as I was taking the trash out, what did stumble upon right at my garage entrance, but 3 baby kittens. So Brooklyn has since been holding them and has already named them. Their names are Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse from the Aristocats! I told her that the mama will probably move them again, so who knows what to expect next time we open the door.
