It's been a long time......

It's been a LONG time since I have posted, and I am truly sorry! Most all of you know why the blog has been so dead and lifeless lately, but just in case any of you don't have facebook and don't know why I've been MIA, I thought I had better update you.

Gunner & Karlee have a little secret they want to share:

Yep, we're having another Munchkin!!!

Today marks 13 weeks along in the pregnancy, so things are moving along pretty quickly! If you will notice when the blog started lagging, you will see it was right around the time I got pregnant (November), even though *I* didn't know I was pregnant at the time the lagging started!

Scott & I are thrilled beyond belief, but our excitement is nothing compared to G&K's. They are ecstatic! Karlee wants me to have a girl and name her either Santa Claus, Addison (a friend's name at school) or Miss Tess (a teacher at school). Gunner really wants a boy, but if she's a girl he wants her to be named Miss Jillian (after one of his teachers at school). It's so cute to watch them with the pregnancy and to see how they process things. They both really want the baby to be here so they can play with it. Karlee can't wait to give it a bath and Gunner can't wait to take it for a ride in his jeep. We have finally got them to understand that they baby won't be here until it gets REALLY HOT outside...you should see Gunner get up to watch the news every morning...he tells me he's waiting to see if it will be hot today! (This happens almost every day!) I can't tell you how nice it is that they seem excited about a new baby. It will be a big adjustment for them, and I'm happy that so far they are looking forward to it.

My estimated due date is August 5th, but this sweet little miracle will probably make it's grand entrance a couple weeks before that.

Here's a picture from my 9-week ultrasound:

I'm sure it's changed quite a bit since then since that was over a month ago, but since no one has seen this picture yet (not even facebook!) I thought I would share it.

Now that I've hit 13 weeks I really hope I start getting back to my old self where I do dishes every night, update the blog and don't fall asleep before 9pm! I know I'm not the only one in my family who feels the same way!

I'm going to start a little pregnancy blog/journal so I don't bogg this blog down too much with appointment info and all of that boring stuff. It will be a place where I keep up with what's happening so I have a little journal to look back on once the little Guppy is here. If you'd like to keep up with that one, the address is

...Oh, and did I mention we're not going to find out what we're having with this one?!?! We're thinking since we've already been blessed with one of each, what an amazing surprise it will be! I'm also secretly hoping that if we don't know what we're having, maybe the birth won't end like this:

Yeah, he's passed out! And, he doesn't have a clue I posted this picture on here, so if you really love me (and if you want this picture to stay here!) you will keep this our little secret :)

I promise in the next few weeks (hopefully sooner) I will update the blog with all I have missed over the past few months. We have Christmas to post about along with Grandma and Baja coming to visit, a snow day (not too many pictures of that since it was a 'bad day' for me) and we have Papa and Noni's visit to share too! Love you guys :)
