6 1/2 Months

Already two-thirds of the way there, this pregnancy has been quite a journey. Even though it is my third, it has been the most memorable. Having the boys around to watch me grow has been really fun! At the beginning when I told Evan I had a baby in my belly, he decided he did, too! He loved pulling up his shirt and touching our bellies together; for a while it was his baby, and not mine! So sweet. Cole used his "all-knowing" 7 yr old humor and happily told friends,"My mommy has a baby sister in her belly, but . . . well, we don't know it's a sister because it's only the size of a frog!" That is definitely going in the baby book.:) He also loves telling me everyday that my belly is getting really big, and talking to the baby. There is already so much love from these brothers to their soon-to-be brother, a beautiful bond is beginning.

The Preggos: Suzanne and I at Jacob's 30th B-Day. She is having a boy!

'It's a Boy!', 'It's a Boy!', 'It's a . . . . Boy?!'

Well there you have it! I guess we over dosed on pink! There is another "noise with dirt on it" growing in my belly. We went for a Fetal Heart Echo on the 12th, and it was actually too early for it, so we got to find out the sex of the baby! The tech said the baby was right on track for 18 weeks, and already weighed about a pound! Whew- I keep telling myself I better watch my starches and sugars, or this might be a 10 pound baby! So if I do the math, we are set for the week of July 11th! We are thinking of names Emmett or Emmitt, Embry, or Emerson, maybe Elvis. We think we will stick with the E names, but it is getting hard to find one we really like and think is special. I really like Embry and think Emmitt is fun. So it still remains to be decided. Thanks for all your hopes and painted toe nails, but now onto frogs snail and puppy dog tails!!! Love to all!

THINK PINK!!!!!

Okay, so we all know we can't pick the sex of our babies, but it can't hurt to try an persuade it a little, right?? So EVERYONE help a sister out and Think Pink!!! We will definately find out who this little wonder is going to be in March, so tie your ribbons, paint your nails, and whatever other girly you can think of----- do it and think of me!!!

Love to all!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
