It's a BOY!!!

We are so beyond excited to finally know our little peanut is a sweet little baby BOY!

It makes it so much more real knowing what gender we are having.

We drove to Utah to find out, the whole drive there I was freaking out, I couldn't believe we were about to find out what gender our first born would be. I was anxious, nervous, excited, and had butterflies...just a whole bunch of emotions.

I asked Scott if he was freaking out at all, and of course he was just cool and collected. The most I got out of him was that it was "surreal." 

His calmness made me even more anxious!

We arrived in Utah an hour before my appointment, so we stopped and had some chick-fil-a before hand and I downed some orange juice to make sure the baby was well sugared up so it would be moving around.

The time finally arrived to find out the gender. We went into a dark room with a big tv screen, I climbed up on the table and Scott sat right next to me holding my hand. My heart was going to beat out of my chest!
The ultrasound technician asked Scott and I what our guesses were, we both glanced at each other and said "girl." 

BOY were we wrong!

she squeezed surprisingly warm jelly on my belly and started the ultrasound, right away we saw our baby moving around. SO ACTIVE, he was kicking his legs and waving his arms.

Scott and I were overtaken with LOVE.

That is our baby.

The babies legs were open so we were able to see the gender. Scott squeezed my hand with excitement, because he knew before she told us that it was in fact a BOY. We were both pretty shocked, but oh sooo happy. Scott was grinning ear to ear. 

I haven't been able to put the ultrasound pictures down. I LOVE seeing our sweet baby boy. I am obsessed with his little nose, hands, and toes. We are in love. 

September cannot come soon enough!
I can't wait to have a little Scotty :). 

We're expecting!!!

S u r p r i s e ! We are so so so happy to finally be able to share the news...we are expecting, baby Lindquist due September! These past few months have been the longest months of my life trying to keep this secret. I've been so anxious to share this great news.
 I found out on January 6th, 2014. Seeing that positive sign on the pregnancy test was one of the best feelings I've ever felt. It is an amazing miracle. At first there was disbelief and then tears of joy, lots of tears (at least from me). This seems to have become a trend for me, crying. I cry a lot now.
I took a pregnancy test when Scott was at school, so waiting for him on the table when he got home was the test with a note. Of course he saw it right away, he is very observant. He was very surprised and so happy, I loved seeing his reaction and his excitement to be a dad.

Scott and I are so excited and grateful for the opportunity to be parents. I have never wanted anything more than to be a mother. We feel so blessed to have a sweet baby joining our family and can't wait to find out the gender! April 14!
At our first doctor visit I was 8 1/2 weeks along and we were lucky enough to get an ultrasound. The doctor was just going to try to hear the heartbeat but then we mentioned to her that twins run in my family. My mom is a twin and my grandma was a twin, so she went ahead and did an ultrasound just to make sure...ONE baby. I have to admit I was a little relieved, I don't know how I would have been able to hold TWO babies inside my body.
It was so so so amazing to see our little tiny baby inside of me, it made it much more real! I wish I could see our baby growing inside of me every single day. I can't wait for our next ultrasound!!!
