this time tomorrow we will hopefully know what the sex of our baby is going to be! so exciting!!!! he has been moving and kicking so much today.. his kicks are getting stronger! so much so that i think david could even feel it.. too bad david is never around or near me when the baby kicks.. lol.. i joke to david that he will probably get his first kick on the plane to germany.. since it's 10hours of sitting there he will have plenty of time and chance to catch one! lol.. 

david is letting me get the external flash.. he can't say no to his pregnant wife.. lol.. love this man.. not because he buys me stuff but because he is just so caring and wants the best for me no matter what it happens to be.. and because of this.. i hope we are having a boy.. otherwise we will have a very spoiled daddy's girl.. secretly though, i am hoping it's a girl but have a gut feeling it's a boy.. david is rooting for a boy first lol.. hopefully butterball will let us know.. all i know if it's a girl.. david is going to have to get a second job lol :o)

i am so excited about getting this external flash.. bouncing and fill flash here i cooooomme! it's going to be awesome.. so many toys i want to get for this camera.. lol.. one at a time right? RIGHT?! i need to start saving for my lenses!!!! i don't think i will be getting one any time soon but you never know.. i could win the lottery.. if i don't have at least one of them by the time the baby is here, i am renting for a few weeks every month lol.. the kit lens is such a crappy lens.. it really is.. i know i should be appreciative that i at least have a DSLR. even if i have to use the kit lens for now.. getting the flash will make it a little bit better! my camera has a built in flash but any photographer will tell you how suckaroo they are.. it only enables you to use direct flash and that (imo) makes pictures ugly.. 

that means i won't be able to get my much needed tripod.. doesn't matter.. i feel this flash is one of the more important tools i need at this point.. i might get a gorilla pod that fits a DSLR.. just so the camera isn't always sitting on the ground and i can aim the camera at different angles.. something i wouldn't be able to do with just using the ground or whatever item i use. plus david wasn't really looking forward to carrying a huge tripod all over the place in europe lol.. i will show what this flash is capable of when i finally get it! lol.. it's awesome.. i have never even used one and know how awesome it is.. it really is a needed tool.. i'm not just saying that.. seriously. :o)
