And the verdict is....

 

My baby girl looking up at us, waving! =)

IT'S A GIRL!  Yep, Baby Hoyle will be a girl!  Derek is still adjusting, but I think he's really happy.  He really wanted a boy, but maybe someday he'll get one.  In the meantime, I will enjoy shopping for girl things!  After we found out today I had to go by one gender specific thing....I could have come home with a lot more. 
Another plus to today....I got to spend some time with one of my best friends while she is back in Nebraska for a visit.  What more could you want in one day?! 
I will try to post some pictures from the ultrasound this weekend.  The cord for the printer is still buried in a box somewhere from our move.

Starting Over

I've never been great at blogging. I have started a couple of other blog sites in the past and kept up with them for a few weeks, and then completely forgot about them. I'm starting over with this blog in hopes that I'll actually stick to it!
The reason for this blog? As many of you know, Derek and I are expecting our first child in July! We couldn't be more excited. We have a lot of friends and some family that live close to us, but a lot of our friends and family are scattered around the state and country, so I decided a blog would be the easiest way to keep in contact with everyone!
We find out what we are having this week, so check back soon for an update on Baby Hoyle!
