I am sure you are thinking, "Christmas is a few months away. Why is Ashley writing about Christmas?" As you know, Christmas is my St. Nick's FAVORITE time of year. He loves Christmas and everything that surrounds it.
He has a few more events to look forward to this holiday season. On December 5, he will be participating in the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. He has been training very hard the past few months and I believe he will ROCK (pun intended) it out!
The second big event in December is our ultrasound. On December 1, (assuming baby cooperation) we will find out if we are having a girl or a boy... or will we?
My friend Crystal passed along this grand idea that since our ultrasound is in December, we should ask the ultrasound tech to not tell us the sex of the baby but ask her to write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a sealed envelope. Nick and I would then take the envelope home, wrap it in a "beautiful box with a BIG bow" and open it with Eastan on Christmas morning. I thought that was actually a really sweet idea, until our ultrasound was scheduled for December 1.
I mean, I'm really suppose to wait another 24 days to find out the sex of this little shrimp? Then I begin to think about how magical Christmas morning would be. I know, I am being a little dramatic. But really, think about it. We would be so excited on Christmas Eve. We would wake up like little kids, anxiously getting out of bed on Christmas morning to open our little gift. We could re-wrap the envelope and when we go to my parents house for Christmas breakfast, we can give them the present. And again when we go to Nick's parents.
Nick is totally sold on the idea. Of course, he would be sold on something that would make Christmas even more awesome! It would be the best Christmas present ever. But what if I wanted to peek?

I think it is a great idea. Just in case you have to peek,I am really good at unwrapping a present and wrapping it back!! :)
Nick and I LOVE this idea. How long has it been since you woke up on Christmas morning with a present THAT exciting?! Probably at least a decade or two. :)
Love love love to Baby Boy/Girl Hill! (And his/her mommy, daddy, and big brother too.)
Precisely Aubrey...... and when she says it will be wrapped up in a pretty box and a bow....what she really means is it will be locked in my safe because she has friends like Carla that will help her unwrap the present without me knowing about it.
Miss you guys, I get upset each day you dont have a new blog posted, I love hearing about how your guys life is going...I got the heebie jeebies on the bed bug things.....totally understand the feeling.... i felt the same way when we were fighting fleas.
I think it's a great idea, too! Guess I'll just have to buy a generic Christmas gift for it though...
I absolutely love that idea. What a great Christmas present for all of you.
Have to say I agree with everyone else. Think what a great story it will be to tell the little one some day!
