An Ultrasound, A Contest, and a Giveaway!

Note: This might be officially my longest post EVER. But hang in there, because there’s a giveaway at the end, and it’s a good one – the biggest I’ve ever done! How’s that for bribery ;)

Happy day-after-Mother’s-Day!!! Hope you had a great weekend!

We kicked our weekend off with an early Mother’s Day present for me:

Seeing our newest little munchkin for the first time on ultrasound. It never gets old! Everything looked normal and healthy – two words that are music to any expecting parent’s ears.

Saturday Dave gave me my second early Mother’s Day present:

{Don’t mind that sippy cup – Lily’s already made herself at home}

It.is.FINISHED.

Well, we’ve still got to attach the  mantel,  but the rest of it is done. Officially the hardest, longest, most frustrating DIY project that we have done to date. Next we’ll be painting – both the living room and the bedroom!

Sunday morning I got to sleep in a little and when I came downstairs I saw this yummy breakfast waiting for me:

 
Of course I shared bites with this little cutie:

And then I got my final present – a a sweet card and Peanut Butter Dove Promises:

Mmmmm…chocolate and peanut butter…he knows the way to my heart :)

We had lunch at Outback with my family, came home for a little rest, then headed to my parent’s house to hang out and grill in the evening.

All in all, a very good weekend. I’m so thankful God gave me a reason to celebrate Mother’s Day!

AND NOW FOR SOME FUN!

Remember how I told you we wanted to find out the gender of our baby?

Well…we didn’t. Or rather, we couldn’t. The little stinker kept it’s legs crossed and it’s feet curled up the whole time.

I was sooo disappointed, until the doctor told me he was going to schedule us for another ultrasound at our 22 week appointment. So *cross your fingers* we hope to find out then!

And while we’re waiting, I thought we’d have a little fun with it – so I’m hosting a “Guess the Gender of Our Baby” contest!

Here’s the scoop – to enter, all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post with your guess as to whether we’re having a boy or a girl.

In addition, you can earn  TWO ADDITIONAL ENTRIES by doing the following:

1) Become a follower – just click on the button on the left-hand side of the page. If you’re already a follower, great! Just leave me a comment to remind me.

Sample comment: I follow!

2) Blog about it! – Or if you don’t have a blog, put a notice up on your Facebook page with a link to my blog. Then come back here and leave me a comment letting me know you did it.

Sample comment: I blogged about it!

And just what exactly is in it for you?

The winner will receive  a $50.00 gift card graciously provided by CSN Stores.

CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find tv stands, furniture, home decor, and more!

The gift card will be good at any of CSN’s 200 online stores. And seriously – there is something for everyone here!

I mean, they’ve got an entire website dedicated to just shoes – who doesn’t love shoes?

But I think if I won the gift card, I’d probably end up spending it at their cookware site.

Le Creuset, anyone?

But wait…there’s more!!!!

You have until midnight on Wednesday to enter and I’ll be randomly selecting a winner sometime this Thursday, May 13th.

That’s right…you don’t even have to guess the gender right to win!

BUT…

there will be a special prize for one of you who does guess the gender! Once we find out {sometime in mid-June} I will draw another name from those who correctly guessed the gender. And that lucky person will receive a $5.00 gift card to their choice of either Target, Sonic, or Starbucks.

Whew!

Did you get all that? There’s so many chances to win, I don’t know what you’re waiting for! Leave a comment (or two or three) already!!
