11 weeks till due date...1-3-2010
I had another ultrasound today and baby boy, Hayden is doing great!
At this point, he is measuring just like his brother,Mason.
We are getting so excited to have another member in our family!!!
I'm starting to feel the need to have all the necessities for bringing home a newborn. I got all his little clothes ready and even bought a package a new born diapers, boy are they small! We haven't had to have a diaper around in about a year.
I've had 4 close friends and family members have babies in the last few months
and I'm next in line...HA!

THANK YOU JESUS FOR BLESSING ME BEYOND MY DREAMS!!!

...can I take a second to blog about today's office gear for example, these clips!
For years now these have been my favorite little clips, so you can imagine how excited I've been to find them in these fun shabby chic colors.

this Saturday, 10-3 I took Mason to our Botanical Garden, it was such a beautiful day!!! We had so much fun looking at all the flowers and just playing, here are a few pics.

Ozark Botanical Garden...10/3/09...me just having fun... taking pictures of some of my God's amazing creations.

...Mom, look at my "spooky fingers!"
One night, Mason had been very quiet, after awhile he later came out and was so proud to show off his spooky fingers, which he called them.
Mason I love how creative you can be!!!

My new nephew...Nolan Spearman

Courtney with Piper, Me with Hayden (6 months PG), Heather with Nolan...
I would have never guessed we all would have babies within 6 months of each other.
So looking forward to the many fun years of motherhood and cousins!!!

H...

due January 3rd, 2010.

We are getting so excited to meet him!

As of our last appointment, he is growing...and will have long legs just like all of us!
One kidney is a little larger than the other, which we'll get to take another look at him and his kidneys on October 15th, and determine if it's anything we will have to address once he arrives. He is moving all around these days.
This Saturday, 9-27, I will be 26 weeks along...and 14 weeks to go

this summer we have been working on making the boys room,
look oh so cute!
Mason and daddy putting the
crib together, which is so special to me!!! I love it!!!

My friend, Linda's girl Maddy, came over one day and we painted the whole room a pale baby blue...it's "twinkle blue."

...with school taking up the last 16 weeks of my pregnancy we worked hard at getting things ready before most of my time went to getting to know microbes and body parts!

...so what's in the envelope?

...is Mason going to have a brother or sister???

...and IT'S A BOY!
Mason's going to have a brother...
we are so excited!!!

this was such an extra little treat to my summer vacation, we were in
Oregon when Courtney and Sean had their baby.
So fun for Mason to see a newborn.

After we visited the Lange family in Reno we drove to Oregon and Washington. We took a day to visit Josh's childhood friend and his family in Brenner, WA. We took a ferry boat from Seattle to Brenner.

Lake Oswego, OR

Courtney's baby bump...just a few days before Piper Sue Beall was born.

through Mt. Lassen National Park, so beautiful!
