Long over due...

Wow!!! I can't believe it has already been a months since we found out we are having a BOY!!!! Graham Brockman Dillard is his name and we can not wait to meet him. For those of you who have not heard the story of how we found out he was a HE. I will enlighten you

David and I decided that we would wait to find out the gender of our baby until we were with my family in South Carolina on vacation. We had it all planned out. At 19 weeks we would go to the sonographer to see all his little moving parts and make sure he was healthy, we wanted to know everything except the gender:) (and trust me I had a lot of questions). I had previously arranged with a baker in South Carolina to prepare a chocolate cake if it was a boy and a red velvet cake if it was a girl. I gave specific instructions so that I would not see a crumb on the side and figure it out:) Our sweet nurse then called our baker and told her the gender with out letting us know. It was very fun! When we arrived in South Carolina we went and picked up the cake, making sure to not peek... it was hard! That evening when my sister and Mike had arrived we were ready for the big reveal. We wanted David's side of the family to share in the excitement as well.... so back in Texas they all gathered at Leslie's house and we were able to facetime with them over the Iphones (it really should be in an iphone commercial:)_) So once everyone was all situated we dove into the cake hands first and pulled out CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!! We all hooped and hollard for quite sometime. David and I were shaking with excitement. It was beautiful

I think one of the most amazing parts of the experience was that about 5 minutes after we hung up the phones with David's family my sister said "look outside" there was a perfect rainbow crossing over the entire ocean that we could see from start to finish. What a beautiful reminder it was of God shining down on us with blessings.

We revealed his name that same evening and are happy to not be keeping it a secret any more. His first name "Graham" comes from David's mom's maiden name as well as after my grandma "grams". His middle name "Brockman" is a family name that has been used for generations in David's family. He will share his middle name with his dad, grandpa and great grandpa.

The rest of our vacation was amazing! We enjoyed exploring Charleston, shopping for Graham and relaxing on the beach. We were at the same beach where David and I got married, so we rode our bikes down the beach to where the wedding took place and spent some time thinking about the past 3 years. It was such a wonderful time! We did not want to come home!!!

I haven't posted any pictures in a while so here are a couple of me at 20 weeks. I will update another post on pregnancy soon!
