Gender Update

Thanks for everyone's predictions!!  Derek and I loved reading all of them, and it sounded like the majority of you thought it would be a baby girl.

Well, we went to our doctor's appointment this week to have our ultrasound - the baby is doing very well!  The baby's measurements were right where they should be for 19 weeks. Unfortunately we weren't able to find out the gender because the baby was in a breech position at that time and was also moving around quite a bit.  It was just a little too hard to tell.  

We were a little bummed that we didn't find out, but the doctor said she would do a quick check to verify the gender at our next month's appointment.  So, we'll give an update next month...hopefully!

Is it a Boy or Girl?

OK, So we want to hear from all of our family and friends!!! 

We are having our ultrasound this week at our doctor's appointment to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl, and we want to know what you all think!  

Write us a comment and tell us your prediction!  I am posting a picture below so that you can see the way I am carrying the baby - it was just taken last week and I was 18 weeks along.

So....What do you think?  Are we are having a boy or a girl??

Thanksgiving in Toronto

Derek and I spent our wonderful long Thanksgiving weekend in the city of Toronto.  Yes, it was cold!!  But we had a really great time and the weather wasn't too bad. 

We toured the downtown area of the city near our hotel a bit.  We found the CN tower (pictured left) - you can take an elevator ride up the tower to lookout over the city.  Very cool!  They also have a really nice restaurant at the top.  

We had dinner at the top of the tower one night, which was

 great since the elevator ride up the tower was then included with dinner!  Our table sat on a rotating platform that provided us a view of the entire city in 72 minutes.  After dinner, we walked down to the observation deck and also looked down through the glass floor.  What a great experience!! 

Two things I discovered during my trip to Canada:  There are Tim Hortons restaurants everywhere and Canadians are BIG hockey fans.  Of course the main reason for our trip was to go to the hockey game at Air Canada Centre to watch the Flyers play the Maple Leafs.  And, we found out that the guy Tim Horton had been a hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs team and played in the NHL for 24 years.

Saturday was our day of hockey... So we started the day off by visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame.  Derek LOVED it there - it was like watching a kid in a giant candy store.  :)  There was a replica of the Stanley Cup and tons of memorabilia from all the different hockey teams!

Later that night we went to the game - proudly wearing our Flyers jerseys!  We found that there were several other Flyers' fans at the game as well, so we weren't the only ones thankfully.  And of course we were boo'd by some of the Leafs fans when they saw the color orange instead of their precious blue.

We squeezed in some shopping at their downtown mall on Black Friday since we weren't able to participate as we normally would if we were in the States.  And, we also had lunch one day at Wayne Gretzky's restaurant.  We had a really great trip!!!
