We're having a BOY!!!!


Today we found out that we are finally having a boy! We are so excited and Ashlyn was so happy that her brother is indeed a brother. It was so cute, on the way home I showed her a picture of the ultrasound and she kept saying "this is my baby Jacob" and wanted to hold the picture all the way home. We are right on track with his growth and couldn't be happier that he is doing well. We are pretty sure on his name first name already and are planning on calling him Jacob. Ashlyn has been calling him that for weeks and we feel like it just fits.

Pregnancy wise things are going pretty smoothly. My energy level is slowly coming back and I still get my headaches but have found that by cutting back on salts and sugars helps reduce the intensity and the regularity of them. Here is a belly shot of me as of today (4/23/12), I'm 20w3d along. Wahoo, we're half way there!

Wasn't she just born yesterday?

Kaylee is getting so big and is no longer a little baby that is 100% dependent on her parents. She is growing so much, I can't believe it. She's walking and climbing over everything and loves to be heard. Can't believe she's going to be 1 next week. Will post more after her year-checkup. Love ya baby girl!

Tauphas Park Zoo~April 21st

Aunt Melissa invited us to go to the zoo with her and her kids and of course we had to go. Grandpa Harmon, Aunt Daisy and Uncle Samuel also came along and took turns pushing the strollers. Ashlyn loves animals and Kaylee has never been. So after Josh finished with his scouting responsibilites we loaded up and headed out. It was a lot of fun even though it was hot and there was about a 30-45 minute wait in line. Ashlyn kept asking where the cows were. Thinking we might need to take a trip to see Aunt April and Uncle Fred's dairy farm so she can really have some fun with the cows. It was a fun outing and such nice weather!

Getting into Mom's mascara

Check out the awesome unibrow I constructed :)
Wasn't the happiest about this since she used up my whole tube, but I knew I needed to document because I'd laugh about it later.

Ashlyn's March Photo fun

This little girl loves to have her picture taken!I told her when we went outside I'd take pictures. I didn't even ask her to pose at all, this is all her and her personality
