Is the world ready....

Well, we found out what we're having. The only question is...



IS THE WORLD READY FOR ANOTHER PEPPER BOY?????

Oh geez. We're having a BOY!!!! Happy day, huh? I'm relieved and excited and I feel oh so blessed to be given such an amazing opportunity. Drew and I get to raise a beautiful son of God. A stripling warrior. Wow. Drew's really excited. He gets an ESPN buddy. One that may actually pay attention instead of reading a book. Anyway, on with the pictures...


Also, my mom came out from California just for the ultrasound. (She loves me.) We had a lot of fun and spent lots of money and I took off three days from working and it was FUN. Whoohoo! It was amazing to have my mom, Drew's mom, and Drew all with me when I found out I was having a boy. I was surprisingly emotional. Interesting. Anyway, yay for moms!!



Me and the Mama. And the belly.


Uhhh, lots of baby clothes. We bought these in one day.

More later. A little now.

We have been chugging along lately. Right now we are working for a company called Mercer. It's not too bad but I am so exhausted all the time! We have to get up at 6:30 am and we get back home at 6:30 pm. It takes a toll on my poor pregnant body. Drew is so good to me, though. He always wants me to relax when we get home. And he always drives. Anyway, I just wanted to add a quick update before some other things happen soon. Tomorrow night we are going to watch the BYU game while wearing our BYU garb. Then it's General Conference weekend, which of course everybody loves. How can you not like a change up every now and then? Well, more when we've done more this weekend!!
