21 Weeks Already?!?

I can't believe how quickly time is going with the pregnancy. We are very excited to get our little one here. Lots has happened since my last post. The biggest news is that we are having a boy!! We are very excited to have a new little guy around the house. Ava was very excited to find out that baby was a brother, and she managed to yell on the walk home from the hospital, "I got a boy WOO HOO!!". She is going to be such an awesome big sister. I truly can't wait to get him hear just so that she can love all over him. Little guy is going to be named Leland Jack, Leland is for my grandfather and because we just loved the name. Ava now calls him Leland every night when he gets kisses. It's cute to me that they are already starting a relationship. She did already ask once though later the night we found out, "will it be a sister tomorrow?" We then had to explain that no he will be a boy forever. She has really though been pretty excited about it all.


Baby Leland!

Here is a shot of the belly that we took this weekend. Just before the end of week 20, this is pretty accurate to how I look now. He is sticking out there making sure that everyone knows he is here to stay!


First Day of Preschool
Ava has started Preschool and Dance!! So this has been a very exciting week at our house. She loves both, so that is great. She did really with with preschool, she would have walked herself there if I would have let her, but she was very good about just heading in and meeting her new classmates. It made me realize how grown up she is though. She really is getting to big! She isn't a baby anymore that is for sure. I'm just glad that we have awesome parents and family that will help us get her from point A to point B throughout the week. Without them our children wouldn't be able to do anything! After Papa Leigh picked her up this week from Preschool he asked her if she had a good day, she said "Yes! I didn't hit anyone and I didn't get in any fights"! She is her fathers daughter!


Ava Knocked Out!

I will try and keep up with more regular updates, we have just been so busy with bean and work, and chasing the boys with football! Here is to a great fall!
