Exciting Baby News and our Trip to Vegas

Ok first thing's first, those of you who guessed we would have a GIRL were....incorrect. We're having a BOY!!!! We are so excited! I have always wanted to have a boy first so if I had any girls they would have a big brother. Also, we were having trouble agreeing on a girl name so we won't have to worry about figuring that out quite yet. We have a boy name that we like so our little boy will be Jackson Trent Caywood. Seeing our little baby made things so much more real. I have pictures, but he was face down the whole time so the ultrasound tech couldn't get a cute profile shot and I didn't think it would be appropriate to put pictures of how we know it's a boy (if you catch my drift).

Also, we just got back from a week-long vacation to Las Vegas to visit my family. It was so fun and relaxing and it was very hard to come back to work. Here are a few highlights of the trip...

This is my battle wound from the drive down. We were getting gas and this...

was sticking out from the cement that the pump was sitting on. I walked by it and scraped my foot against it and sliced my foot open. We went to the urgent care and I got six stitches. I know I'm hard core. So, because of the stitches this...

was how I had to swim. Yes, that is a plastic bag on my foot. I have a great tan line as a result.

My dad got us tickets to see Terry Fator. He won America's Got Talent last year and he is AMAZING! He's a ventriloquist and he also sings and impersonates the singers. It was a great show and we had a lot of fun.

We also got to see my family's cute dog. I love her!!

On the way back we stopped at Zion's and took in some of the sights.
Thanks mom and dad for the great week! We had a lot of fun!

I voted Boy! Congratulations, that will be fun to have a boy first! I am having a girl! We found out today. That's funny because we didn't have a hard time with girl names but we did with boy names! So, I guess it worked out for both of us!

Congrats! Maybe we'll both have a Jackson. I think we're pretty settled on that name too if it's a boy.
