Pregnancy update and count down!!!

Well the big day of finding out the sex of our newest addition is coming up!!! I have to say I'm quite nervous! Deep down I know it's a boy but I can't help but think it might be a girl! So many of you who voted either really want to keep my hopes up or really think it might be a girl! Only a few thinks it's a boy. So we'll have to see..... February 27th is the big day!!! I'll blog about it for sure! Honestly, I'll be happy either way. I just want it to be healthy! My boys are great and another one would be super fun! Carter KNOWS it's a baby sister though. How do I break the news to him if it is a boy? I'll keep you posted.

As far as pregnancy goes....... I'm feeling so much better! FINALLY! I'm 19 weeks and it's about time! I'm actually starting to clean my house and cook again. It's a miracle! Food is finally sounding good and it doesn't take me forever to think of something to eat. I know Bryan is happy about that. I can actually open the fridge or pantry and find something to eat. It's great!

The bleeding that I had a few weeks ago only last a couple days and wasn't to bad. I was so scared though. I'm so glad everything was ok. It was a very stressful time for Bryan and I. We are super excited to have another baby in our family! We love our kids! They bring us so much joy. We love being parents and think we do a pretty good job. We hope! It's so rewarding to teach your kids things and watch them grow. They make us laugh so hard! We love to just sit back and watch them play together and laugh our heads off at how cute and funny they are together.

Bryan is working two jobs right now. We are trying to save some money and get caught up on a few things before the baby comes. This will be our most expensive medical year! We have pretty good insurance now but in the past we have had unbelievably good insurance so this time around we are going to pay lot of money for our baby just like everyone else. I guess once out of three isn't bad right?

Just a little update for ya'll!!!

Hey Allison!
That is so exciting to find out the sex of the baby! I can't wait to hear the news! But hey, don't give up on a girl just yet! We thought we'd never have one and we had our two boys and then finally...a girl! We honestly still can't believe it! But it would be fun to have a basketball team of boys too! Anyways, I'm glad you are feeling better. I had bleeding with Dylan too and that was really scary! I'm glad everything's going ok now. Keep us posted! P.S. We still need to do an IKEA trip sometime!

I am so glad to hear you are feeling better. I had the hardest time finding anything to eat. I was hungry, but nothing sounded good...EVER! So, I am really happy you are feeling better. We have missed you at church! So hopefully we'll get to see you soon.
P.S. Thanks for the comments you leave. We sure do have some great neighbors!

I am glad somebody did my "tag!" It is fun to keep track of you guys on your blog. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a girl!

So excited for you. For the record, I think you're having a boy, and I'm usually right about these things - I have kind of a sixth sense about babies! . . . BUT it could be off, since I've never actually met you. :-) I guess we'll find out, huh!

Hey! It's me, your next door neighbor! I ran across your blog, what a small world. Anyway, I learned more from "snooping" at your blog than I have from the year you've lived next door. I am a horrible neighbor. I promise to change that. :( Hope you don't mind, I added you to my friend list. Check out our blog! Jen.
