Hard to believe that we’re 2 weeks away from being ½ done
with cooking this kid! Seems like it’s
gone fast yet it seems like I’ve been pregnant forever already! Ha!
It’s all out in the open now and we’re super pumped to be having
a little BOY! When the ultrasound tech
told us it was a boy I about few off the table I was so dang excited! For any and all of you that knew, I was
wanting a boy SO terribly bad that I was worried I’d be a little disappointed if
I had a girl… Want that big older brother to take care of any girl that I have. So if/when baby #2 comes along I’m totally
down for team pink then!
Christmas time was a perfect time to let them all in our
secret! Which, PS, was unbelievably hard to keep for an entire week! I think it
was easier to not tell anyone I was pregnant than to hold in the gender. You find yourself constantly referring to him
as “he” or “him” or “little boy” and then when you’re around people that we’re
keeping it from you have to revert back to “it” or “the baby” and just seems
unfair when we know it’s a little Mister! :)

| The cupcakes we had made - they were super cute and very YUMMY! |
We told the Viland crew at the farm on Saturday the 22nd. I had a friend of mine bake some cupcakes. 12 with blue wrappers and 12 with pink
wrappers. Then she put a small plastic
baby in 2 of the blue cupcakes and frosted them all so they looked
similar. We had everyone that was at the
farm that day grab a cupcake and take a bite and the cakes with the babies in
them indicated the gender! Maggie (my
niece) & Darren (Mister’s brother) were the ones to find the cakes with the
babies in them! It was fun, and the
cupcakes were delicious! A couple photos
below.

We had Christmas Eve at our house with the Olson side. Our
plan was to play a dollar gift game with my family. AJ (my youngest brother) showed up before
everyone else did so I made sure to let him know to avoid one present that had
a can of tuna wrapped in baby that said “it’s a boy!” in the inside. This way hoping my mom or dad would be the
ones to get it and open it. Needless to
say it was just as hard for AJ to not slip up and say it was a boy and he only
knew for about 2 hours! Ha! But it all
worked out in the end. Adam (my younger
brother) brought his girlfriend, and she was the lucky winner of the tuna can
so we quickly grabbed the paper and gave it to my mom who was super excited to
know she was getting a grandson! She’s
now on the hunt to find bib overalls to match the ones that my dad, (aka
Gramps) wears daily J
My little man is going to be a stud! Ha!
Now we’re able to move forward with some of the nursery
items! We’re going with a giraffe and
polka dot theme! Browns and tans will be
the main colors for this little dude!
Mister ordered some spongy flooring last night and I can’t wait to get
it here so we can get it laid and really start to put the nursery together. (more
pics will come once we have that put together)
We’re so dang blessed it just doesn’t even seem fair! I’ve
got everything I could have asked for in life and couldn’t be happier! A little boy on the way and a husband that at
times is a little too overprotective of me and this baby, but I know his heart
is 110% committed to this whole thing and he’s been great with everything! Holding up one of the many onesies we have
already he says last night “Honey, I’m so ready for this little boy to get
here! Can’t wait to have a baby here!” Awe!!
Isn’t he cute?!
Here’s to a happy new year to you all – drink one for me!
