Lets get Updated!!

Pictures say a thousand words!!!!

Kenedy knew it all along. I know every mom has one of these stories but this is mine:

*

A week before I found out I was pregnant I was down by the garage getting Kenedy's shoes on before we headed out for a morning of errands and she quietly looked at me bending around her to help her with her shoes and said

"mommy, soon you are going to have a baby in your tummy and it is going to be a girl".

All moms know kids say the darndest things, and my child is always saying the most spontaneous of lines.

I didn't think much of it, and we hadn't said anything about possibly adding another special one to the mix, and as I said I didn't even know I was pregnant.

So later that week we went and stayed with some friends of ours and they inquired if we were trying. I told them we were but I didn't want to take a test because I didn't want to see a "NO your not pregnant" sign. But they got me itchin' to know so as soon as we arrived home and Garrett went to work I bought a test and took it. And yes it was POSITIVE!!!!

I wanted to tell Garrett in a fun way for once, instead of always just walking out of the bathroom and showing him the test. So I was going to wait for a few days and think of something totally awesome. But until then I had to tell someone. So I walked out of the bathroom and calmly told Kenedy that I was going to have a baby.

She simply looked at me and said "Yeah, and its going to be a girl"

She has never hesitated or questioned her answer throughout this whole journey. Anytime anyone has asked if she is going to have a baby brother or sister, she quickly replies: Sister. Then she decided she was going to have a baby sister and her name was going to be Blakely.

She originally wanted it to be Gloakly but that is currently her fish's' name so she tweaked it slightly for the arrival of a baby sister.

I still had my doubts and new that its a 50/50 chance and I have been dead wrong on the last two. So I went with Sis's answer and as we sat at ultra sound and she put the cold gel on my stomach we saw this little bundle face down, knees curl up to the nose, and had splayed over the face. I knew at that moment it was a little girl. Kenedy was almost exactly the same way when we were trying to discover her. We actually left our first appointment not being able to get her to cooperate. So we opted for Fetal photo.

To make a long story almost over, we are tremendously excited for a little girl to join our family and I know that Kenedy is going to be an incredible Big Sister to her. Gavin will definitely be a wonderful bro. for her as well if we can get him to acknowledge his own strength before he strangles her in lots of hugs and kisses! We look forward to July changing our lives in so many wonderful ways.

Soon to be a family of 5 (YIKES)!!!!

But until the arrival of our bundle of joy we will keep ourselves occupied with the newest arrival of Andy and Jessica's baby boy Logan Ray.

*
Along with Logan we have Heidi's little angel London and Tenille's soon-to-be baby girl, and Trent and Laura's baby boy (arriving in May), and my sister Tiffany getting married in June, and lots of special family time with lots of new babies.

So if the blogging gets even more sparse (is that possible)? then it is for a good reason... its called LIFE! I hope to continue to document the little and big things though. It just may be lots of posts, less often.

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
