12 Weeks and Counting...

It has been awhile since we last posted, so I am here now to update everyone with what is going on. Baby #3, whom still has no name, and is frankly making me very nervous, is due in 12 weeks. For the most part we have picked May 14th to have the C-Section. Now this could all change due to the fact that they all have a mind of their own, and he will probably decide to come sooner. Everything with him is looking great, except for the fact that he is big, shocker, I know. I am measuring 5 weeks ahead of schedule. I go back to the Doctor in March to determine his size and what size he will probably be come May. But let's see, Braxton, 8 lbs, 5 oz. Brennon, 9 lbs, 2 oz. hummmmmmmmmm? Were looking at another 9+ pounder. Not an easy task carrying around these butterballs for nine months, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

On another note, Braxton went in for his 3 year old check-up and he is still not on the charts for height and weight, thank god, he doesn't take after his short Mom. He is doing great, and is right where he should be for a 3 year old in all other aspects. Brennon, also went in for his 18 month check-up and he is following big brother and to our surprise, he is the exact same height and weight that Braxton was at that age. Seems crazy, because he looks so little next to big brother. But he is also doing great, and is ahead on many things, I guess we can only Thank Braxton, it sure helps having a big Brother who is only a year older. We are starting to see the benefits of having our kids close together, granted it was very difficult at first, but now they are so close, and really got each other's backs. Now this thinking might all change, when we have a Senior, Junior, and Freshman all in college at the same time..........but I guess we will cross that path at a later date.

Other then that, February has been pretty low key for us, we are just trying to prepare for our little butterball, washing all the clothes, bringing up the bassinet, swing, glider, thinking of names, godparents, and buying tiny diapers. I am starting to feel the pressure of nesting, and a need to get things organized, which could only mean that this little guy is not far away. I feel our house is filthy, and I think I clean the toilets every day, can't vacuum enough, and have made list of things that need to be done, and of course with a pregnant woman, this list is ASAP. My wonderful husband assures me though that all will be done in no time, and he will start working on all my "to-do's" Ahhh, he is the greatest. He's just thankful he doesn't have to paint another room :)

More updates to come...............
