baby shower for Daniel

A month ago or so we had a baby shower for baby here are the pictures.

 

My great Aunts hanging out. Rach was also home for the week so that was fun.

Rach had her besties from school come visit so that was fun. (Kristyn I know that’s a terrible pic of you sorry, your much prettier :)

My mom has a big picture frame with 50+ pictures of dan growing up so I had her pick a few to have the ladies guess what age he was. She picked 2 different pictures and dated them 2 years apart and it turns out they were taken on the same day… He had the same outfit on in the same setting. Very funny. Not completely shocking but my mom was laughing very hard about her funny mistake.

some REALLY big news

Well, we have some pretty exciting news to share with you all. We are expecting baby number 4!!! We are due in the beginning of Oct but knowing me we’ll be having a baby in the end of October 5th or 9th according to the Dr. That puts me about 14 and a half weeks.

We are all pretty excited. Wills really wants a brother. Allie wants a girl, but decided she’d take one of each, we know that’s not happening though, and all she really cares about is if she can hold the baby when it comes. She’s the most excited about the baby. She already pets my stomach. Keira doesn’t know what’s going on.

So how am I? Pretty good. I have gotten some of my energy back the last two weeks and that’s been nice. I am seriously exhausted with this pregnancy. All my extra time was spent sleeping the last few months. My house and all other extra activities (like the blog I thought this was a good excuse though:) were put on the back burner. I get nauseous with each pregnancy but I’m still functional for the most part so that’s a huge blessing. I have also felt better with this pregnancy I think then my others. Still yucky especially if I let myself get anywhere near being hungry but only a handful of times have a thought I was going to loose my stomach. That hasn’t happened which is very nice. I don’t know why it’s called morning sickness because for me for the most part I’m much worse at night. I’ve gone to bed a lot just thinking if I fall asleep I won’t feel like crap anymore. As my momma reminded me when I start to complain, “oh it’s all worth it for a baby though”.

I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures of myself. I’ll have to see if Wills can get one this week :) By pregnancy number 4 I’m already rocking a pretty solid baby bump. I finally pulled out all the maternity pants and I have to say they are so comfy. It’s lovely to have pants that fit but also give room for baby!!!

Hope you have a splendid day!

Baby Daniel

My brother and sister in law had their first boy and we are all pretty excited. He’s a cute little peanut. He was born the first week of March.

My brother Dan’s text said

I took Wills and Allie and visited the little cutie. here are our pictures

park and other things

The day that baby Daniel was born (our newest nephew) it was hot outside. I decided we needed to go to the park because it was just so beautiful. I think the next day it rained really hard but that day was flirting with the 80s so we went and enjoyed the sunshine.

I brought the camera to play with.

this was super sweet and those moments can be a bit rare with these two so I was glad to capture it. Allie was controlling the mouse to click what came next so that Keira could “play” the computer games with the headphones. Makes me happy :)

While the girls were doing that this boy was making popcorn. I bought an air popper at the thrift store and I thought it was a little pricey for a thrift store but now I’m so thankful to have it because its fabulous. You might laugh when I say I paid $8. I haven't seen one for less then $25 at the store. I love that Wills can do it himself and I know exactly what's going into our popcorn and we can make as little or as much as we want. Love it!

Ok so this silly baby is super picky. She’s particular about what she wears, about how her pillow is laid down and her blanket, and about what she wears… She loves these little jam shorts and puts them on over a lot of her clothes. She’s a goof!
