23 Weeks Prego

No that's not actually a ball stuffed under my shirt...

I really am pregnant.

Well, our baby is about 8 inches (crown to rump, as they say) and weighs just over a pound. At this point I've pretty much adjusted to the fact I've got a moving little gymnast inside me. She keeps reminding me she's in there with little pokes or she'll push back if the kids lean on my stomach at all. She was moving enough the other day that I could look down and see my tummy moving. Kate said, "I think she's doing flips and stuff in there." You know sometimes I think she's right.

Kate tells us that she has a baby in her tummy too--only hers is a boy baby named Lightening McQueen. He's going to be our baby's prince and dance with her. After all, every princess needs a prince to dance with....Mommy's prince is Daddy and her prince is Sammy. It only makes sense.

Baby #3...It's officially a GIRL!

Here are some of our 2o(ish) week ultrasounds pics. Everything looked perfect and healthy and they said she is right on track to be due July 22. It really feels like the time is flying by fast with this pregnancy. Before you know it, Joe and I will be out numbered. No more "you grab this one and I'll get that one." There's going to be a whole other one to keep track of. Whew! But ready or not, here she comes!

Cheeeeeese!

Kate and Sammy are so silly. They love to play together and they love to be silly for the camera. Sammy learned how to say "cheese" so he can't seem to get enough of it. You gotta love 'em!

Kate's 3rd Birthday!

Our sweet Kate had her 3rd birthday last week. She had a ton of fun having everyone sing to her and her favorite part was blowing out the candles. Kate loves the color pink so we had pink streamers, pink balloons and pink frosting on the cake with strawberries. Thanks to all the family who was able to celebrate her special day.

Introducing our family

Well, here we are joining the world of blogging. Just thought I'd start out with a little introduction of our growing family. Joe and I have been married for 6 years and both grew up in Idaho. We have two children, Kate and Samuel and a third (a girl) due to arrive in July.
