Boy Oh Boy It's a BOY!!!

Vince and I are thrilled to announce we will be adding a little baby boy to our family!  We could not be more excited.  The little guy was sitting indian style during the ultra sound and moving around like crazy!  He also gave us a few waves and swollowed a couple of times.  I think he was showing off.  Of course I had to go out and buy one little baby boy outfit after the ultra sound.  It is a little Polo Ralph Lauren stripped onsie.  So cute! 

We had a wonderful time relaxing and laughing with friends and soaking up some sunshine in beautiful Mexico last week.  The weather was perfect the entire time we were their and of course we came home to rain, rain and more rain in PA.  Oh well, we are glad to be home and to know we have a little baby boy.  In Mexico Nationwide gave us a private concert with Colbie Caillat so that was really neat to experience.  Check out some pictures below from our Mexican vacation.

Next week I am finally going to be starting my student teaching and am really looking forward to it.  I will be in a first grade classroom and am going to meet the teacher and students tommorow.  I will be doing my student teaching for 12 weeks so it is going to work out perfectly with the arrival of our little guy. 

Vince and I are also thrilled to be going to Hilton Head for a week with our parents and my sister over Easter.  We haven't seen them since Christmas so getting to visit with them for an entire week is going to be wonderful.  We miss them!

OUR RESORT

Mexico Here We Come at 20 Weeks!

The last several weeks have been somewhat uneventful for Vince and I.  We of course were blessed with more snow and more cold weather.  We are looking forward to heading to Cancun for a week and relaxing on the beach. I think the only thing that will drag us back from the beaches of Mexico is knowing the next day we will get to find out the sex of baby Jenkins.  I did have the opportunity get out of the cold weather for about 4 days and head to Florida to visit with my wonderful grandma and sister.  I hadn't seen either one of them since Christmas so we had some catching up to do. 

We had our 20 week check-up today, March 5th.  Thankfully, everthing still looks wonderful.  When the Dr. was trying to find the heartbeat she said the little one was moving around like crazy.  I don't know if that is a sign of what we are in for or not.  I have begun filling some small kicks from the little one.  It is exciting to feel them now but I am sure at 9 months they might not feel so exciting anymore.  I will have to wait and see on that one!

This week I put Vince to work on his first nursery job.  He had the wonderful priviledge of putting a new closet system in the baby's room.  The closet before just wasn't that functional because it only had one shelf.  The baby's closet now has baskets, drawers and hanging space.  I love it and I am sure the baby will too!  Thanks Vince!!!! Oh, and I think I forgot to mention from a previous post, Vince won the battle of where the baby's room would be.  I guess I shouldn't say it was a battle but we mutually decided that the spare bedroom would be more condusive for the baby furniture than his office.   He got lucky on this one!

For now that is about all the baby's news I have.  Check back on March 15th for the big suprise!  Our appointment is at 8am!
