24 weeks

24 weeks today! Lexi has been bouncing around like a mexican jumping bean! I love to feel her moving and kicking. We've officially decided her name will be Lexi Morgan. Yay for the most indecisive people I know making a decision! We have somewhat started on Cade's new bedroom. The bed is all set up and some of his stuff is moved in there, but we still have a ways to go. I plan to go out this weekend and look for some more decor for his room. Wish me luck! We went to Kyle Gertson's 1st birthday party last weekend, which was a costume party. I've attached a couple pictures of Cade in his horse costume. The cutest horse I've ever seen, if I say so myself! : ) I'm still pretty comfortably pregnant, which will probably last just a few more weeks. 3 more weeks until I enter the third trimester. Is it just me or is this pregnancy flying by?? I'm sure chasing a very active one year old helps in that area. Cade can now get in and out of his toddler bed on his own, though just to play - not sleeping there yet. He can also get down from a regular size bed and the couch on his own. Every morning he drags one of his pillows out to the middle of the living room floor and plops down for a few minutes more rest. It's the cutest thing. Aunt Christine also bought him a rather large stuffed horse for his first birthday which he also likes to drag all the way from his room to the living room and plop down on. He's a funny kid. I could go on and on about my adorable boy, but I'll end here. Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,

22 weeks

I'm 22 weeks today and still feeling good! Matt and I have settled on the first name. It's definitely Lexi. Now the middle name. Raine and Erin are out. Morgan and Rilyn struck me out of nowhere and I like them better. I think Matt likes Morgan better, but we haven't made a final decision yet. I still have a ways to go and already I'm anxious to meet this little girl! I'm nowhere near prepared yet though. We have to move Cade into the bedroom across the call before her arrival and redecorate the nursery. Cade's room will be cowboy (of course) with a toddler bed, and Lexi's room will be ladybug theme. I can't wait to get going on it, but I think I'll focus on Cade's room first to make room for Lexi. I think I'm hitting the nesting stage a little early this time because I am already starting to pack up some of Cade's clothes that are too small and non neutral. I cleaned out his dresser the other day and am working on closets now. What a project! Cade had his first dentist appt today. They call it a happy visit, just to get him used to going. He was not having anything to do with the blue rubber gloved hand in his mouth! But he did get a neat toothbrush and a little fish toy. : ) He loves to brush his teeth, so we're happy about that. He puts the tooth brush in his mouth and shakes his head back and forth. Too cute! That's about all for now. Will keep you all posted on the middle name decision.

Love,

It's a...

GIRL!!!!!

We are thrilled! Cade's going to have a little sister! Now if only I can figure out what I want to do with the nursery! I am 21 weeks today. We will have another ultrasound sometime in December. We're still tossing names around. Lexi is likely the first name, but not sure yet about the middle name. I like Erin and Raine (or Rain, or Rayne). I think Matt likes those too, but we'll see. We still have a little time. Well off to day dream of pink...
