Vacation, Professional Pictures and a Date is set!

We have had a busy few weeks! For Spring Break, my mom, Payton and I flew to California for a week. Payton experienced his first plane ride, first BART (subway) ride, his first A's game, first Easter (egg hunt and all) first time walking in grass and many other firsts.

It was so great to be able to be barefoot

Another first he had was his first time getting his pictures professionally taken. These are very high quality scans because my scanner screen was dirty and I did it on the lowest resolution so it wouldn't take forever to download. But you get the idea...He is really cute! The experience was interesting...They didn't start the pictures until over 30 minutes after his appointment so he was so antsy and the lady who told me "Oh I can handle mobile one year olds. Thats what I do all day. Wasn't as good at posing him as she claimed to be. Actually I was the one who did all the posing and they didn't really have any great props, but the pictures turned out cute, so I just chalk it up to another interesting experience with having kids.Packing up

Ready to get home to daddy!

We also have a date set for the gender ultrasound for the new baby. May 21st we will find out if Payton gets a brother or a sister. I went to my first OB appointment yesterday. The baby's heartrate was 172. They say over 140 for a girl but I think its mostly a myth. Everything checked out great. I am 12 weeks along, so I am almost out of my first trimester.
