Knock Knock...

Knock, knock

Who's there?

It's a Boy!!!

We found out earlier this week!  We are soo excited.  I'm due sometime around the beginning of August.  We are excited to have a little more blue in the house. And Ryan said, we need to find a cute stuffed football for him to carry home with him. haha (the girls didn't have any stuffed toys that early!)

Wish us luck, we're on our way to being out numbered.  More kids than laps.

Happy 2 Weeks Old!

I want to say congradulations to my new nephew, Jacob.  He is 2 weeks old today.
He came a little early.  Well, a lot early.  About 3 months early.  But he is here to stay and is fighting each day to get stronger, healthier and well mostly just fighting to grow.

I find myself amazed at this tiny miracle.  And can't believe how much I love him.
My brother Jared and sister-in law Stacy are great parents already.  You can see the love in their faces.
Jacob, Jared and Stacy we love you

      

London is worth the wait!

London didn't come on her "due date" but I think we all agree that we would gladly wait longer if we had to for our sweet little one. Hope you enjoy some of the video Nana took at the hospital.


We have been soo blessed with 2 beautiful and healthy little girls. First Ashby and now London. Ashby is a fantastic big sister already. Here is the early proof of that. She definitely loves her baby sister. We know that London will be trying to do everything like her big sister before long. But for now, she is doing just what she should: eating and sleeping. Ryan and I so happy.

Week 40

Still pregnant. Feeling really well. Gonna try jogging and walking more. Neighbors are inviting me over to use their trampoline. It's okay, I have a bunch of laundry to do tomorrow....maybe I'll attempt a simple (I mean straight lines only) sewing project? But I think we are all ready for London's arrival. I guess all we can do is pray and wait patiently. But who knows, tomorrow is "Labor Day"

Problem Solved

Before you go on a trip you have to pack your bags right.

Ashby understand this.

Before we visit family we pack our bags.

Before Nana could come here, she had to pack her bags.

Before Ryan and I go to the hospital, we had to pack our bags.

So our bags have all been packed and we're waiting.

Ashby and I even sing a song to our London Mae asking her if she is "gonna come out today" almost every day.

But I'm pretty sure that Ashby has solved the problem.

Today after we sang our little song I asked:

Me: Do you think she'll come today?

Ashby: No, probably not

Me: Why not, Nana is here, I've cleaned, organized and I'm all packed. What are we waiting for?

Ashby: London just needs to get her bag ready.

So if anyone knows how to do that, let me know. Cuz we are ready to welcome her at any time now!

Almost Here!

Here is the pic Ryan took of me to document my belly-ness at 39 weeks. Yes, she's almost here! I'm feeling really good. Little discomforts here and there, but not much to complain about.

Nana doesn't get into town until Friday so I'm not "supposed" to jog everyday to encourage her to come out until she gets here. But I jogged almost a mile yesterday and will probably go again tomorrow or Thursday. In the mean time, I'll try to update this here blog on some of our fun fun summer :)

Apparently we weren't as good about documenting my belly progress with my pregnancy with Ashby, but below are my pregnancy at 38 weeks now and then:

The pictures don't show it here, but I definitely was more swollen with Ashby's pregnancy.

32 Weeks

It's fun to compare now with my half way picture
I am feeling pretty good. Tired. But good. I love being pregnant, other than feeling huge at times, I also feel wonderful in so many ways.

100 Days to Go!

We have just 100 short days until the excited arrival of our 2nd bundle of joy!

With a due date of September 6th we can't believe how quickly the date is coming. I know that when the heat of the summer hits I will find myself wishing the heat away, but I can't fool myself into thinking that the time won't fly by. Let's just hope that I am able to get done all I need to in the next 100 days!

We're having a Little
GIRL!!!
We are all so excited,
especially soon to be Big Sister Ashby!

Feel free to share cute girlie name suggestions. :)
