Baby Stuff

Britax infant carseat

My baby shower is less than 3 weeks away…  Oh my goodness I can’t believe how time flies!
Our every week is filled between now and when baby is due so I’m praying the time continues to pass quickly.

Here are my ‘Must-Haves’ on my list…
along with a link to the other things I’d love to have!  :)
I realized after my other babies that there are tons of things that you can register for, but that aren’t necessary at all.
I know better this time to save my money and stick with the necessities!.

THURSDAY!!!!

Thursday was such a fun day for me…  :)

I took a quick new bump picture in the morning as we were getting ready for the day…  :)

27 wks

Hubby finished up painting Kenley’s dresser…  And the finished product is amazing!
In this picture it’s still drying (and that was the first coat)  ;)

dresser

Hubs also finished weather-proofing and staining our deck, which also looks amazing!!
Love my handy guy so much!!!

After that hubby and I had a lunch date and he took me out for Indian food…  one of my faves!  :)
I ate like a pig and loved every minute of our time…  Yummy food and sweet conversation!
I finished off my lunch with my favorite Indian dessert…  Gulab Jamun…  Mmmmmmmmmm

I had to take a  picture just because!  lol

Thanks to this sugary treat, Kenley was kicking the walls of my uterus! Lol :)

On our way home I spoke to my mom and she said my brand new nephew (3 wks) was at her house and I couldn’t resist some
baby snuggling and lovin’ so we headed over there!!!
His cheeks are irresistible and this was only the second time I’ve seen him since he was born!!

INTRODUCING my precious Nephew…

Eeeeeeeeek…  His little cheeks are so scrumptious I could eat him up!  :)

We ended the day at our boys baseball games and the weather has just been amazing…
I need to get some maternity shorts because this outfit was much too hot for me in the 82 degree sun…

It was sooooooooooo yummy and totally hit the spot!  :)

Hope all of you friends have an amazing weekend!!  We are soaking in the sun and enjoying time together!  :)

A Sweet Gift

outfit from Ruthie

I am feeling overwhelmed with joy these past couple of days…
As we prepare for our sweet baby girl, Kenley Grace, we have been showered with love and prayer!

My husband is busy painting the crib white (we are using Camden’s old crib)
and I am so excited to put her pink bedding into it and get it all ready for her!
Three short months and she will finally be in our arms!
Pretty much everyday and every weekend for sure is filled with things we are busy with
and I love it because it’s making the time pass quickly!  :)

Day before yesterday I was soooooooooo blessed by a blog friend, Ruthie,
who is due a few days apart from me, expecting her precious bundle, a little boy!
She sent a sweet gift, addressed perfectly to Kenley Grace (her first mail)
and I cried at her thoughtfulness.

Check out the adorable outfit she got for Kenley,
and look at the back pocket detail on the jeans (little hearts!!
Ahhhhhhhh, they are so precious!
I love the headband she got and must find out where she got it because I haven’t found any that cute, and a pink book!

Ruthie, thank you so much for blessing us like this!
It was unexpected but so very precious to me and I am so thankful for you!
Can’t wait for these babies to meet one day!  :)

I figured I’d throw in the picture of the crib also…  Hubs is working it it but it’s coming along nicely!  :)
Love my handy guy!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!  Only a few more weeks til I’m in my third trimester…
I feel like I’m in the home stretch!

My brother and his wife welcomed their baby boy this past week.
He was 10 lb 5 oz…  HUGE and healthy, praise Jesus!
He is cute as can be and my boys are over the moon excited and haven’t wiped the smile off of their faces yet!
I love seeing them with babies, they have such sweet spirits!  :)

I look like I have a soccer ball popping out of my shirt now and people are starting to notice
every week that I’m a ‘little bigger!’ She’s growing and she’s healthy and I can’t wait to hold her in my arms!  :)
Life continues to be busy around here with the boys baseball schedules which I love
and the weather is finally turning around.

I have started to stock up on diapers and I’ve registered.
My baby shower is only 7 weeks away and
I’m so blessed by my girlfriends for planning this for us.
God sure has blessed us with an amazing church and friends who love and care for us!  :)

Baby’s room is coming along, I feel like I have a lot of things already which is nice
and we are painting her crib and dresser this week!  So excited!!
Still a ton to do though but it’s slowly coming along.
No big cravings this week although I’m loving cheerios with bananas.  haha
Baby is very active and I continue to life my weights everyday.
I was anemic at my dr appt so they put me on Iron supplements so that explains
my lack of energy, among other things that have been going on lately.
I already feel like the energy is returning so I am a happy mama!  :)

I have gotten a few questions from twitter which I will answer this next week so if you have anymore ask away!  :)

Hope you all have an amazing week!

Belly Update

23 wk belly

Oh my goodness this precious baby girl is growing inside me.
I swear I wake up some days and feel much larger than the next!  :)
My hair seems to be growing faster and my nails are stronger!
The boys are so excited about mommy being pregnant that they talk to baby girl daily and read her books and they both love to kiss my belly…  Especially Camden!  :)
He is such a love bug and continues to leave me little love notes in my bedroom at least twice a week.
Not sure how he manages to sneak them in there and put them places but I love it!  <3

With baseball almost every night, church, Missional Community and time with friends and family our life is busier than it’s ever been and I find myself exhausted most days!
I feel so blessed though and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
As much as I’d love to freeze time right now because I’m enjoying watching Coop and Cam grow and play ball, I love that the months are flying by right now because I can’t wait to meet this precious lil girl in my belly!
She is more active than ever, doing flips in my belly and I just adore her so!!!  :)
Looking forward to the day I get to hold her in my arms and I’m so excited that God has blessed us with a daughter!
I am seeing a new side to our boys and my husband as we prepare and await this girl!  :)
This is much a magical time for our family…  God is so incredibly faithful and GOOD!!

Here is the newest belly shot this week…  Getting closer!  :)

Our Baby Girl’s Name

Kenley Grace


We only had a boy name picked out!!!!  

But then when we found out we were having a girl a few weeks ago we started talking more seriously about our ‘short list’ of girl names…
Sooooo…  I got to thinking and I made up a name and presented it to my hubby and he loved it!!
His grandpas name is Kenton and his grandmas name is Shirley
so I decided to take the first have of his grandpas name and the last half of his grandmas name and put them together!  :)

Kenley Grace

I came up with Kenley

Our two boys both have ‘C’ names and we wanted to stick with the ‘C’ or ‘K’ sounding trend.
Grace will be her middle name because without God’s AMAZING grace we sure wouldn’t have this precious miracle!

We are beyond excited to welcome Miss Kenley Grace into the world in just a few short months!

Here are a couple pictures I wanted to share of some cute gifts we’ve received!

Her room is almost done and I can’t wait to post pictures when it is…
Her crib just needs to be painted but her bedding arrived this past week and I need to get my glider recovered.
Any recommendations for somebody who knows how to recover them???  I’d love it!  :)

Thanks again for all of the well wishes, prayers and love from all of you friends and family!
We truly appreciate each and every one of you and are so blessed to have you all on this amazing journey with us!

For This Child

Last week we finally found out the gender of Baby J!!!!
We waited until Friday evening to tell family and I had to try and dodge my moms phone calls
and avoid her at all costs or I may slip and tell her the gender!  :)
We went out to dinner and I wrapped up a little gift for my mom and dad to open
that would reveal what Baby is…  :)

Saturday evening I went out for a Girls Night to celebrate a friends birthday and everyone insisted
I spill the gender and since EVERYONE of my dearest girls was there I decided to spill
and I’m so happy I did because I seriously couldn’t hold it in any longer!  :)

Now FINALLY I get to share with all of YOU friends in my
Blog and Twitter world!!!!!  I adore you all and am so blessed my your friendships and prayers!  :)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..
Without further ado…  Since you all have begged and I’m excited to share…

We are ELATED to ANNOUNCE that
