Miss anything: Having a drink after a really rough day at work.

Movement: Every now and then I can feel her.  She is sitting really low compared to Brandon.

  Food cravings: I really want Chinese food every now and then, but Tyler doesn't enjoy it as much.

Looking forward to:  School getting out at 11:35 on Friday, seeing my sister and Grandma on Saturday, hanging out with good friends Sunday night!

Brandon is going to have a little . . .

On Friday Tyler and I went to the doctors for our ultra sound.  We were very excited, as we were going to be finding out if we had a Gus Gus in there, or a Natalie.  We told the lady we didn't want to know, but instead we wanted her to write it on two cards for us.

From there, we took one envelope to a friend from school who made us cupcakes!!  Then we took the other envelope to Party City so they could fill a box of balloons.

Saturday morning we got up to take our Christmas pictures.  Georgia is an amazing photographer, and if you are in the Phoenix area and need photos done, let me know, I will give you her info!

The whole gang

Hathaway Family

Getting ready to find out if we're having a girl or a boy!

Brandon helped us open the box!

It's a GIRL!!!

Our first family picture, knowing it's Natalie!

Brandon loved the balloons!

Daddy kissed Natalie . . .

So Brandon had to too!

We are beyond blessed!

Merry Christmas from the Hathaways!!
