My 3 Sons


I realize I haven't made an official announcement post about another baby boy on the way. Believe, me it's not because I'm not excited, super excited. Life is just busy and I feel great so I usually don't think about it too much. Well, until the last week or two. I'm lucky enough not to get sick or have any of the usual first trimester yuckies that most women have, so it's easy to just keep going in life. Until now, when the round ligament pains start and I can't bend over to put on shoes. Or when sweet Trace tries to crawl in my lap, and I have to put him on one knee (he's not too happy about it). Or when I have to wake up to roll over and it's an effort each time, or going up the stairs causes me to walk like a duck cause my legs don't fit going up and down. So, now it's a daily thing and I'm getting even more excited!
This was from our 22 week ultrasound, the little guy measured 1 day big so we'll take that! Due date is April 15th, I've always wanted a spring baby. Something about Easter and the newness of life that always happens around that time. Kayden and I enjoyed planting bulbs last fall and every day now he runs to the window to see if the flowers are coming up because I told him when you see flowers, the baby will be here soon.
The boys are getting more and more excited too. Trace talks to my stomach daily and precious Kayden won't let a prayer be said in the house without blessing his new brother to be strong and healthy so they can play with him. I think it will be an adjustment when he doesn't come home ready to wrestle, but I think Kayden and Trace will both be big helpers, at least that's what I have to keep telling myself!
Now, any suggestions on names? Ugh (And yes, I'm hoping for another redhead!)

I still can't believe how long you were able to keep it hush-hush! Congrats and hooray for boys!

Ok, I am unbelievably teary these days but that comment about Kayden watching for the tulilps and that is when the baby would come totally choked me up! So sweet!!

Johann Sebastian, Ludwig, Fryderyk Franciszek, George, Joseph, Wolfgang Amadeus, Jean, Pyotr Il'yich or maybe a combination of your names, Jais, Jis, Chraime, Jaris. Just trying to be helpful and I hope he has red hair too.
