Half Way There!!

I was 20 weeks on Sunday. I have started to show, FINALLY!! I have a small baby bump and am loving it. For the longest time everyone would say they couldn't tell I was pregnant and although sometimes I just feel a little thick, I do have a baby bump now. The baby is around 12 ounces now and about the size of a soda can. I can really feel him moving around and kicking in there. From the looks of the 3d sono I believe he is going to favor his big sister. He has her face shape and checks it appears. Aubree is super excited! She hugs and kisses my belly all the time and is constantly rubbing and talking to the baby. We enjoy reading some of her favorite books to him and I can already tell she is going to be a great big sister. She is so protective of me and the baby. We still are not certain about a name but Kerry suggested Ayden (which means Little Fire) and I actually think its cute and sounds good. I think I like Ayden Spencer Kindle but we will see if that sticks. Lol! It is so difficult sometimes to find the right name that we all love. But I know it will come to us eventually. Aubree and I enjoyed the hot days of summer but she was excited to start back to Parents Day Out at Main Street Baptist Church today. She moved up to the bigger class and has two new teachers this year. She seemed very anxious and happy to go today. I am so thankful that our church offers this program two days a week so our dumpling can be in a Christian environment learning and socializing with her friends. Its a great place for her to be. We don't have any big plans for Labor Day weekend. Kerry has been so busy with work lately, which is awesome for our check book. :) We are so blessed to have such a hard working Daddy and are thankful for all the jobs sent his way. Aubree and I will probably spend some time at the water park this weekend and maybe visit First Monday Trade Days to do a little shopping if we can survive the heat. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!! XOXO

It's A Boy!!!!

I am thrilled to say that although I have thought it for a couple of weeks now, I am confident with sharing the news at this point. We are expecting a baby boy!! I am 16 weeks and have felt great so far. We are all super excited and anxious. Aubree is coming up with all sorts of names for her little brother but we still haven't decided on one yet. We have got plenty of time for that though. But I must say these first four months have flown by. I am so thankful God chose me to be the mother to Aubree and this precious baby I am caring. I am blessed beyond belief. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed when thinking about having a little boy and actually said out loud once, "What am I going to do with a little boy?" Although I find myself thinking this a lot before I even realized I had said it out loud Aubree replied, " We are just going to buy a lot of blue and green." Glad someone has got this figured out. Lol! I know or at least hope it will all come to me naturally but I have gotten so accustomed to raising a girl that I am a little nervous about a boy. Not that I wish it was anything else because I don't. I just don't have the experience of a little boy and am unfamiliar with that territory. I know I will get on board with it all and its good to know Aubree isn't sweating it at all. We have been enjoying this summer to the fullest. Aubree has become an excellent swimmer. She has gotten so brave and will jump off the diving board in the deep end and swim to the side or wherever she wants to go for that matter. I am so proud of her and am glad she enjoys swimming as much as Kerry and I. We had a wonderful camping trip and family reunion at Whispering Pines a few weeks ago. It was so nice to relax and spend time enjoying the beautiful country God created with our extended family. Bree loves RVing. She and Nona went a few days before we did and had so much fun together. I am glad Aubree shares in this passion as well. We have been spending most of our free time at Splash Kingdom Water Park. Its a great way to cool off on these 100+ Texas days. I am so thankful for the hot, long days of summer and all the wonderful memories we are making. XOXOX
