Several new things on the horizon...As of this week, we have lots of new things progressing...A new table...a possible new couch and loveseat, and come Friday, we will know whether to buy either blue or pink for January! We will have our sonogram Friday! We are beyond excited about it and I am literally counting the hours til we know. I know, pretty crazy, yes, I am. But seriously, it's going to help us in a lot of ways.
We really won't need to buy a lot if it's a boy, for obvious reasons.
This is Justin and K on our old couch (a futon, which, we have been very blessed to own, considering it was given to us for free by some very sweet friends, and it's in like brand new shape.) Our new couch and loveseat are beeeeee-autiful and if it's possible to be in love with something you sit in, I can honestly say I am! They are brown leather. The loveseat has a center console, with each side having both a rocking and reclining feature. The couch also has a powered reclining feature. Heaven...We are considering buying one of those powered massage pads to put in them...and we will never want to leave the living room. Can you say spoiled?...Yes. Hey, I use the excuse that I am going to have a baby in January and will most undoubtedly need the rocking/reclining feature...right? Breastfeeding is hard work, but somebody's gotta do it! Lol.
About two weekends ago, we went to Nana and Grandpa's (my parents) place to swim and have fun and get the table. They live in Midland and have a beautiful pool so we decided to let Kaleb try out his skills. He was a pro in the water (in the floatie!) and yes, as you can see, Justin used the life preserver to test them out. Kaleb did not care however, and every moment was pure bliss, full of cackling. I think he may take after his momma and daddy when it comes to water.
Great Grandpa Darr also deserved a visit. He LOVES his great grandson, and Kaleb is the first great grandchild. :)
Nana decided Kaleb also got to test out his tastebuds on jelly and butter. The verdict? Jelly and butter are definitely winners in his book.
But spaghetti at the Olive Garden...hmm...still deciding...
He loves to wave...even at bugs. And cars. And trucks. Pretty much anything moving deserves a wave.
And new little E is growing!!! This is me at 16 weeks!
Like I said, we go this Friday at 9 a.m. to find out this little one's gender. It seems like it's taken FOREVER to get to this point, but at the same time, I'm like, "Wow, are we ready???? This means 'real,' and this means, 'We actually have to start planning,' and this means, 'Wow, this is actually happening again...'"!
On one hand we are very excited - don't get me wrong. But on the other hand, we are SO nervous. Wow. Having two children in diapers and only 16 months apart is going to be like a roller coaster ride. And if this sweet little one has as many issues as Kaleb had when he was first born, it is going to be one CRAZY ride. But at the same time, we wanted this. We wanted our children close, and we were by no means against it. I am SO happy to be pregnant again, and SO excited, whatever it is, whether it's a boy or girl, and this time, even more so than I was last time, because I just want them to be a good, good friend for our Kaleb. Sometimes I worry that I may not love this next one as much as I love Kaleb - it's hard to fathom loving someone as much - but I know I will.
Our next post will no doubt be exciting, though. Blue or pink? Ribbons and bows or puppy dogs tails? We will see!
