week 21

i made us a cute scarf this week... i love it!

the day after Christmas we went shopping with teresa in S.B., it was so fun! then we met up with the boys {all 8 of them} at the beach. it was a wonderful day ended with a yummy dinner.

a few days later daddy wanted to go back to this beach, so we did, just our little family. i love California!!!!

daddy has started to feel you kick this week. this is such a bonding experience, i love you little one!

week 20

merry Christmas little one!

your brothers are living the movie a Christmas story right now so daddy has been taking them out back to get a little shooting practice in... they are in heaven!

i have gotten you a few things that i am crazy about, you are going to look so handsome!

i had a doctors appointment on Christmas eve for you little one. we found out one of your tests was negative... yippie! your due date is anywhere from may 2nd - may 9th. they want you to cook as long as you can. we talked to our doctor at this appointment about inducing you {he is not a fan} if you are not born by the 8th {i hope aunt becky can be there} because gma and gpa said they would drive out from ny if we did your brothers baptism and your blessing on the same weekend. i think its going to work out. so may 15th is going to be a busy day!

Christmas day we went over to our friends house for dinner. it was delicious and wonderful to spend the holidays with them.

week 19

a boy or a girl...

its a BOY! why change it up, we know we make cute boys right? it is funny the kind of responses we get... "oh i am so sorry" or "ha ha ha". when i just want to say are you serious? i am lucky i can get pregnant and i waited until i was ready for a baby not a girl.

we brought your brothers to this ultrasound. it was great for them to see you! we had a few scares at this ultrasound so we are getting more tests done and they are watching us closely. i am not on bed rest but lifting a laundry basket, groceries, etc. is too much. this is hard for me since i am a doer and hate waiting on people but i am learning.

we have known you were a little boy since week 14 but she was not 100% sure so we kept it a secret. daddy was in the car with your brothers and a friend so she wrote it on a piece of paper so daddy and i could open it together. we did not tell anyone because your second brother we were told was a girl early on and then told a boy so we had to go back and say just kidding. i like to be 100% sure and now we are!

btw, we think we have decided on a name. its a name i have loved for a long time... i am so excited!

we love you babes... keep up the kicking!

week 18

there you are babes... that little bump... i love it!

your brother turned 4 this week. he is CRAZY about pirates. i had a fun time planning this party {it was a good way to keep my mind off of the stress} and pulled it off with the help of a few friends.

i have been feeling you kick which is so comforting!
