And the Sex is...


Dear Baby,

Actually I guess I could say "Dear Baby Boy" because we have found out that you are a very healthy baby boy and decided to share the excitement with everyone this weekend instead of waiting a couple more weeks. 

So yes we are now sharing the wonderful news that your Mommy, Daddy and Monkey are excited to add another little boy to the family. 

We have been trying to get Monkey to understand that you are his brother and that you are a boy. He has been getting confused about all of the gender and sibling names. He does know that your name is Goose and will refer to you as "Baby Goose". It is super cute. We let Monkey share the news with Grandma and Popa and it was adorable. He didn't' want to tell them and then he finally said he was having a sister even though we practiced and practiced in the car. I quickly corrected him and let everyone know that you were a boy. 

Everyone is mostly OK with the name we have picked. Of course there are a few that would like something not so different but we have told them they can't argue with us about it. I will share how we came up with the name. 

First, I spent hours looking on the computer for names that I liked. I then shared them with your dad and he shot down every single one. A list of over 20 and he didn't like any. So I started the search again. That's when I found your name. I knew right away that was the name your daddy would love. I thought about it while I looked for more names and then shared the new list of names with him. Of course as soon as I reached your name he was sold. He loved it! So then came the talk about the middle name. I really wanted you to have a family name because Monkey has both of his great-grandpa's names but every name that we tried didn't sound right. Finally, daddy joked about using his dad's name who doesn't speak to us or even makes an effort to get to know Monkey. It was the family name though. Well of course it sounded great together. We kept searching and searching for another name for you and nothing seemed to work. So we thought and talked a lot about it and decided we didn't care if we used it. As of today we do not consider it as a family name. It is just something that we liked and chose as part of your name. Maybe one day your grandpa will come around and change his opinion of us and decide that he wants to know his grandkids and then maybe it will have another meaning. All we know is that is that we have YOUR name. We don't know why. God plans these things and we don't have control over it. Plus we both love your name. It just fits! 

So today I'm feeling excited and ready to start the prepping for your arrival. We are half way there and I have a feeling these last months are going to fly by. So it's time to start getting ready! Today though we have other plans. Heading out to enjoy some nice weather at the zoo.

I love you so much!

Your Mommy

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
