Recent Happenings....

Ok, so it's been a super long time since I've posted. (Sorry about that!) I figured it was time I gave everyone an update on life in the Wehrli house. Tyler and I have been really busy with work and preparing for our upcoming vacation. On top of that we've been pre-approved for a home loan and have been looking for a 3 bedroom home or condo. Nothing has popped up yet but we're not in too much of a hurry and I'm confident (no matter what happens) that everything will work out in the end.

On July 24th, we flew down to Idaho, Wyoming, & Montana for an 11 day family vacation. We spent our days visiting with good friends, family, eating great food, and enjoying the significantly warmer weather. It was awesome!! I had so much fun. Tyler and I seriously considered just not getting back on our plane. *Sigh* Too bad life doesn't stop and we both have jobs to get back to. The only possible downside to our trip was a horrible sunburn I got on the last day of our trip BUT it was totally worth it! lol :)

During our short time in Montana I was able to get a free ultrasound compliments of my wonderful father-in-law. He runs the imaging department at the hospital in Whitefish, MT so he was able to do one for us. Tyler's parents, his best friend (He made a last minute road trip to MT to see us) and his two youngest siblings were able to be there with us. It was awesome to be able to share that with them...however, it was definitely a different experience having an audience during an ultrasound! haha I was 16wks and 3 days when I had the ultrasound done. It's always great to see my little baby. And to see it take more of a human shape vs. a blob hit home a little bit. Reality hit and it made my pregnancy feel real. It was perfect.

Also....we were able to find out the gender of our baby!!! That's right!! It was really exciting. Take a look at some of the photos below and see if you can tell for yourself :)

Now the baby is laying on it's tummy with it's head on the opposite side! lol

Baby re-adjusted yet again and is on it's back with it's arms above it's head

Another profile...can you see the umbilical cord?

The grey spot in the middle is our baby's tiny little heart <3

So....who was able to tell?!? Ok, I wouldn't have been able to tell either based on the photos haha BUT that's why I don't decipher ultrasound photos for a living. Thanks to my father-in-law's skillful eye we are pretty confident that we are having a little GIRL!!!! I am so excited!! I was expecting a boy but really wanted a girl. Tyler was also excited with the result. Our little girl was moving all over the place and kept her legs tucked up to her chest with her ankles crossed the entire time! lol So even though my father-in-law wasn't able to get a clear view of the "girl parts" developing (although he did see something he thought could of been girl parts but wasn't sure) he definitely didn't see any "boy parts" dangling between the legs either. He was very confident that it is a girl. So that's been the highlight of our week so far.

Other than that bit of excitement, my pregnancy has been pretty uneventful lately...thank goodness! haha The little morning sickness I did have is basically nonexistent and my energy levels are starting to pick up again. Hopefully I'll have more pics of our beautiful little girl in a couple of weeks! :)
