Valentine's Day twenty-twelve

Remember this picture from almost a year ago?
03.18.2011
Crazy how this silly little mistake of overbooking the church house the day of our reception predicted one of the most amazing moments in our lives.
Valentine's day this year topped the rest... by a long shot.
Yesterday, Kevin and I were able to go to Dr. J's office and the lovely ultrasound tech, Lindsey, gave us the most incredible news.
It's a BOY!

When we got in the ultrasound room, Kevin kept calling Baby KFo "him" and Lindsey asked if he knew something she didn't. About a minute later she announced; "Good Guess Dad". It was an overwhelming incredible moment. She pointed to the screen so we could see the discovery. I was so caught up in my little one on the screen that I glanced at Kevin just once to see him smiling, but apparently missed a little emotion he showed as he received the news!
We also discovered that our son is quiet stubborn. During the whole ultrasound he was head down in my bladder. Lindsey tried to get him to move around but all he did was kick his legs a little. No cute profile ultrasound photo but it was so amazing to see that he finally looks like a little person.
I go back in two weeks for my twenty week ultrasound, where he will be measured to make sure everything is growing properly and I cannot wait to see him again! I am already so completely in love with my little boy.

Kevin took me to an early dinner at La Jolla Groves in Provo. It was amazing to enjoy an evening out together and since we went right after the doctors appointment we missed the crazy Valentines Day crowds. I think we both sat there the majority of the time repeating out loud over and over, "we are having a son!"

Dinner was so yummy (except I was sick today possibly from the food) and I really enjoyed trying something new.

We went to Babies R Us on the way home and picked up two little wall hangings for the nursery. I have decided a Noah's ark theme is what I would like to do for the nursery, so the two wall hangings of an adorable giraffe and elephants were perfect!

Kevin and I kept gifts simple and sweet this year.
Kevin spoiled me with a mini shopping spree at JoAnn's to get paper, glue, and lots of other goodies I needed to use my Cricut that my parents got me for my birthday. Luckily for him I used my new tools and Cricut to make Kevin a little flip book of the ABC's of my love for him. It was fun to give him something homemade and personal. He thought it was pretty cool. I also had a lovely surprise waiting for me at work Tuesday morning.

The final product

I cannot think of anything that could have made this Valentine's Day better. Got to spend it with my TWO favorite men and it was just perfect.

What did you do for the lovers holiday readers?

Oh, and how cute are our little neighbors? Josie and Landon decorated our door with lots of hearts about the baby's gender. A great surprise when we got home.
They even helped us take this picture to remember the day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day and spoiled their loved ones <3

Boy or Girl?

Baby Kevin or Baby Kyla?

Tomorrow is the big day! My doctors appointment is set for tomorrow afternoon where we get to find out if baby Kfo is a little Kevin or a little Kyla. 
We have been counting down the days for weeks now as we have tried to let it sink in that we are about to either have a son or a daughter.

It makes it all seem so much more real to think that we are almost half way down with this baby making adventure (for the first go around) and that in a few short month our little one will be here!

We are so excited and can't wait to share the news with all of you readers!! 

Did you cast your vote?

Boy or girl?

Let us know! 

Hope everyone has a lovely Valentines Day tomorrow. You should be telling the ones you love everyday but go ahead and get a little crazy about tomorrow! Say "I love you" a million times, take her out to a fancy dinner, get her flowers, get him that little thing he wanted that he wouldn't have expected, and my favorite; hold hands and kiss a lot in public!
