Treyson's wish for Jesus....

I saw this posted at Treyson's school, and thought it was too cute not to share.  

Merry Christmas!

almost 22 Weeks!

On Wednesday, I'll hit the 22 week mark.  I am finally feeling like a normal human being again.  I get sick in the morning about 2 times per week, but as long as there's no nausea, I'll take it!

I feel like my belly is growing at a rapid pace.  We went to a family gathering this past weekend, and I was nervous that a few people's eyes were going to pop out of there head based on the looks my belly got--geesh!  So apparently, I'll end up being about as big as my car by the time 4 more months goes by.

The kids are still sweet about the baby.  Anniston tells me she only wants a healthy baby, and Treyson wants a healthy baby BOY!  Oh goodness.....this could be interesting!

I posted an ultrasound picture of our LB3 on Facebook, and so many people commented on it being a boy.  We were ASSURED that nothing was showing, but of course....it upset me and then I wondered, and lost sleep....it was awful.

.....so I emailed the ultrasound tech the picture that I had posted (obviously I deleted it from Facebook), and her business parter (another ultrasound tech) looked it over after reading my concerns I had emailed to her.  I liked that she reviewed it, since she didn't even do the ultrasound....therefore had no clue the gender.  She said that she could not even see the tiniest glimpse of anything that would show gender one way or another.  She then proceeded to take the ultrasound pic I sent her and labeled everything.  Long story short....everybody looked at the pelvic bone and assumed it was a boy part!

This sweet thing may be a boy, and I will be elated for another boy.  But I was so nervous that a picture was given to me that showed something I didn't want to see.....thank goodness she cleared it up.

I'm sleeping well again :)

Playing with Dadoo

One of Treyson's favorite things to do is go outside and either kick field goals, punt, or throw a ball up in the air and hit it with his bat.  As soon as we get home (assuming it's warm enough/not wet), the backyard is where you can find him.

This particular day, he was kicking field goals.  Dadoo came home, went straight outside to play, so I caught this series of pics....LOVE THIS! 

(I also love how he puts his arm up in the air before he takes off.....you think this kid pays attention when he goes to a game??!!)

Love this little boy so much!!

Breakfast with Santa

While Mommy was out of town, Dadoo took the kids to Anniston's elementary school for a pancake breakfast with Santa!

 Telling Santa what he's wishing for....

The kids are so excited for Christmas this year.  We have been stressing about who's birthday we're celebrating--JESUS-- because we're having some major changes to our Christmas gift plan here at our house.  The kids really do understand what we're talking about, and I am so excited to get our new tradition started :)

Merry Christmas!!

A Flower Girl and a Ring Bearer!

Last Saturday, before the kids opened their presents from Nanny and PawPaw, Matt and Emmy had a special letter to read to the kids.  Matt read a letter that Emmy had written him about how excited she was to marry him, but she really needed little girls to throw petals and little boys to bring her rings down the aisle.  

 Here are the kids intently listening:

 They had to follow the arrows....

 To this cookie cake asking them if they (Kinley, Anniston, Treyson, and Will) would be their flower girls and ring bearers!!

 Later that day, we had an appointment at the bridal shop to get measured for Anniston's dress and Treyson's tuxedo.

We are thrilled that the kids will be able to be in such a special event!  We'll even have LB3 by then, but I bet he/she will be sleeping through most of the festivities!!

Preschool Thanksgiving Program

Treyson's preschool does a Thanksgiving Program (versus a Christmas Program), and we got to go watch them perform today.  Afterwards we enjoyed a Thanksgiving Feast of ham, turkey, green beans, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and rolls.....then dessert! YUM!

Treyson was a pilgrim.  All of the kids were precious and the program was so cute!

 Getting into his ship.....

 Sailing to America.....

 The Indians and Pilgrims all came together and were Thankful!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We have SO MUCH to be thankful for!

17 Week Belly Bump

LB3 is growing like crazy!!  Or maybe just Mommy!!  Nonetheless, my body knew exactly what to do when I got pregnant--holy belly!  I haven't grown in several weeks, but this is pretty much the look I'm sporting these days--an obvious belly :)

We will have our 20 week ultrasound in 2 weeks--so excited to see our sweet little "Hershey" again!! (We say "Hershey" because it breaks down to "He-r-she"--he or she--and we're just weird like that.....again something we've done with our other two kiddos!)
