Baby #3 - It's a ....

We are very excited to announce baby #3 joining us this winter! The due date is Brett's birthday February 19th :)


This pregnancy has been going by more quickly which is great. A little less nausea this time though I'm oddly more sensitive to bad smells than in the past. I definitely "popped" much sooner than in the past but I guess that just comes with having more kids.

At my last appointment I was 17 weeks and surprised by the opportunity to find out the gender!! The NP could not find the baby's heart beat with the doppler so right around the time I start actually getting nervous she says, "let me just go grab the ultrasound". She found the heartbeat right away, and quickly found an 'obvious' gender reveal. It's a BOY!! It wasn't the picture perfect moment of finding out considering Brett wasn't even there and I had both girls climbing over me but we are thrilled! We told Brett and dinner after and he was VERY surprised and excited. I went through the 0-12 months clothes and found about 8 onesies that can pass for gender neutral so I think it's time to go shopping! ;) Can't to meet this little guy!





Life in Little Rock

We are still spending a lot of time exploring our new city of Little Rock and we've tried some new things. We visited the Museum of Discovery where the girls got to lay on a bed of nails and play pretend and explore all kinds of science.




We visit the zoo almost every other week it seems, but it's a big enough zoo that you can't see it all in one day. And we have been playing with lots of new friends!



Ellie & Adelaide participated in our library's summer reading program and received free mini golf passes. **I promise Adelaide doesn't wear this same dress every day hah!



Ellie started Pre K and loves it! At first she started out at an all day everyday Pre K that made sense financially for us, but.... I missed her way too much and she didn't like the 2 hour mandatory nap time they had since she doesn't nap. We switched her to a Pre K that meets 2 times a week and it's perfect for both of us!!




My Parents came out to visit us and see the house on their way East. The girls played with Grandma nonstop for 24 hours and had a great time trying out playtown.
