Almost a Mommy of Two!!!

Hard to believe Kami's arrival is right around the corner!!! I am just about 38 weeks along! Most of my nesting is finished... we had maternity pictures today... now I just need to pack my bag, and she can come anytime now!!! =) I'm ready to have her! Feeling really tired and heavy and ready to not be pregnant. I do LOVE being pregnant and will miss feeling her move inside of me and seeing her little kicks! But I also can't wait to hold her in my arms!!!

Her name, Kami, is a combination of our mom's names. KA for my mom Kathy and MI for Noah's mom Mi Young. Still working on a middle name... Daddy is suppsoed to be picking it out and won't make a decision! =)

Gavin is so excited to be a big brother. He randomly hugs my belly and says "I love you Kami" and told my belly the other day "Kami, you're my best friend". Too sweet! I can't wait to see him as a big brother!!!

Our lives are about to change forever! But I think I'm ready... I think... ;)

My baby's growing up!

Gavin has moved into his big boy bed over the last week or so!! He's done a great job! And LOVES his new bed! He had a convertible crib, which was suppose to be his "forever" growing up. But we decided it would be best to use the crib for the baby and go ahead and get Gavin a new set. We got a great deal on a set on Craigslist for him. A twin bed, a side table and a nice big dresser. We are still waiting on the dresser, but everything else is set up! It's a brand new room for him! Such a "big boy room"!! Lots of place to play! We took his train table up to his room, out of the living room now! Making way for the swing and bouncy seat.. and all that fun stuff that'll be pulled out soon enough!! =)


Helping Daddy put together his bed!




First night sleeping in his new bed!



I am now 25 weeks pregnant! I have one more 4 week appointment left and then it's every 2 weeks after that, until the "real" end when it's every 1 week! It's gonna fly by from here on out! I have been feeling great! And everything's gone well with the pregnancy!

Her name is officially ... Kami! =) A combination of our mom's names. KA for my mom KAthy and MI for Noah's mom MI young. =) We're still working on agreeing on a middle name. I want it to be Lynn, which is my middle name, my mom's middle name and my dad's middle name. =) But Noah hasn't completely agreed yet ...

Christmas Surprise!!!

My brother Eric video taped us opening the box to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl!

Here is our Christmas Morning Surprise! Enjoy!!! =)

It's a Girl!!!!!!!!!!!

So I couldn't wait.... Had to go to Sneak Peek Ultrasound and have the Gender Check Ultrasound done the day after my first ultrasound on that Friday, where she couldn't find out what it was!

The lady on Saturday was able to find out what it was and we were still able to do our Christmas morning gift idea =) We opened the box, with great anticipation, with all my family around waiting.... and were so excited to find the little pink outfit inside! =) Needless to say we're beyond happy!!! The whole family is!!! A baby girl!! After all these years of boys in our whole family... I have 4 brothers... Mom has 2 grandsons... Out of 11 grandchildren on my mom's side, there are only 2 girls! So this will be the first girl in 12 years for our family!! =) Will be fun for everyone!!!

Gavin kept saying he wanted a baby sister!! And that's what he's getting! =)

HOORAY FOR PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stubborn Baby Number 2! =)

I am 19 weeks pregnant now! Just about halfway! Hard to believe! We had our ultrasound to find out the sex yesterday...but baby just would NOT cooperate! Was sitting indian style the entire time! Never uncrossed the legs for us to get a good look! Was there for an hour and the technician was having me try everything to get it to move...but no luck! We left kinda dissapointed that we wouldn't be able to find out! But I just can't wait... so I paid the money to have another 3d ultrasound today! Wasn't all in 3d, but she was able to figure out the sex for us!!! I, myself, did not find out today though! Since we're so close to Christmas..I wanted to do something a little fun! I took two of the same boxes with me today and one has a girl outfit, one has a boy outfit. The technician found out the sex and marked the box that it is... Then we wrapped the box and we'll open it on Christmas morning with all of my family!!! Can't wait!!! =)

Weekend Fun

This past weekend brought lots of fun for everyone! Noah and I spent our first overnight trip away alone since before Gavin was born!! We spent the weekend in Burlington, Vermont. It was beautiful! Most of the color was past, but there was still some pretty color left to be seen! The scenery was beautiful! We took some back roads through the Green Mountains on our way home. Made for a longer drive home, but was gorgeous!!

Gavin enjoyed the weekend here at our home with Gramma, Grampa and Uncle Zach! They came up from Delaware to be with him. They all had a great time! Nothing like quality time alone with Gramma and Grampa =) Gavin was so sad when they were leaving... asking "Don't go Gramma!" Awww...

News of the day!

Mommy is due with my little brother or sister on May 19th!!! =) We are so excited!!

Note from Mommy: We are home in Delaware and were able to tell all of our family here last night at my mom's surprise 50th birthday party!!! It was so fun! I put Gavin in this shirt about an hour into the party and let him go show Gramma and Grampa. It took them a bit to understand and to really read the shirt, it was so funny! But once they did, they were so surprised and excited! Everyone was! I am 8 weeks along and have known since Sept. 11th and have had such a hard time keeping this secret!! =) But glad I did and was able to tell everyone in person!

Mom's party went so well!! It was so beautiful! And so many friends and family came! There were around 55 people there! And mom was SO surprised!!! She had NO clue!!! We all had a really great time!
