Boys Clothes

Ever since we found out we are having a boy, I have been trying my hardest to find great deals on boys clothes. It is soo difficult to find anything cute in the stores for little boys. They all have cheesy pictures and sayings on them that I am not a fan of. My friend in the nursing program - who is a mother of three - suggested going to The Children's Place online sale items and find a coupon online to use for the website. This is seriously the BEST idea anyone has ever told me! There are things on the website that I am finding for less than $5 for cute polo shirts and cargo shorts (for next summer of course). Along with the coupons I am finding...it's a GREAT deal!

Where do you find cheap clothes and good deals for children?? I NEED HELP!

A little baby update

We had a doctor's appointment today for just a check up. We really wanted another ultrasound so our very nice doctor did another one for us (even though we had one 1 month ago). It's a good thing he did because we are now having a BOY! It's no mistaking it this time! We are shocked but so excited! He is healthy and growing perfectly. We were able to see little sucking motions and he gave us a great big yawn! He's so handsome and already looks just like his daddy (seriously has his nose)! We're going to have so much fun with a little boy...but I have to admit I'm sad to give up the pink, bows, and dresses :( We also weren't able to get a very good picture of his profile or anything cute except for his little boy part that proves he is a boy! He just wiggles WAY too much for a good picture-that little stinker-the whole point of the ultrasound today was to get me a good picture! 

So I wasn't going to post a picture but I felt the need to show everyone that it's for sure a boy!

 

Family Time!

This weekend was our niece's baby blessing! She's 2 months old and so adorable! Tara, Derek, and Eva came up to spend this special event with her. Here are a few pictures from this weekend-unfortunately I didn't get one single picture of Tara's belly or Eva...but maybe next time.

The DePew's

I caught one of the smiles she gives me

I LOVE THIS KID!!

Just thought I'd throw in my 21 week picture. If you're looking for an update on our little family-check out the blog! Click on the picture that's in the right margin.

The blessing was perfect and Phoebe looked beautiful! Kayla made her blessing dress and did such a wonderful job. It's so much fun getting Brady's family together. It doesn't happen very often but when it does we always seem to have a blast! I love seeing our niece's and nephews grow up and I am so excited to have more to come! Our next nephew to come is baby boy Bleazard in November!

October 2009

Well, things are still GREAT here in our home. School is pretty insane (and I am procrastinating by writing this post) but I have enjoyed what I have learned so far this semester. I am going full time - which in Nursing means about double time! This pregnancy makes attending class and getting homework done more difficult because of the exhaustion that won't go away. But Brady has been a wonderful husband and helps me just about every single night! Homework would not get done if it wasn't for him.

Our little girl is still active as ever and I am enjoying the little kicks and punches she gives me. She's starting to react to things pushing up against my belly - such as a school book or my laptop and of course my pants. For more updates on our little girl go to this LINK.

Brady has been super busy these past couple weeks. He is on 3 soccer teams (1 competitive and 2 intramural), still working full time, helping me with my homework (as noted above), and playing in the garage! He has been working very diligently on a headboard, footboard, night stands, dresser and will soon be working on baby items. Here are pictures of the newly finished dresser that he stained for us.

This is also our new headboard and footboard that he is still in the process of finishing.

I am so proud of Brady for making these things for our bedroom! It makes him so happy to finally have all the tools to accomplish something so great.

End of 18 Weeks!

Things are going GREAT! This little girl is active as ever and I secretly hope that she calms down a bit before she's born. Brady still hasn't been able to feel her yet but he is patiently waiting :) My morning sickness is strictly morning now-which is amazing! It makes school much easier. There's really not much else to report..everything is going as it should be and I am feeling pretty anxious for things to get more exciting-like decorating the nursery, building a crib, buying clothes!! We just have no reason to go and buy stuff when she's still so far away.

Some people have been curious about names. Now we have liked a certain name for awhile now but it's not a for sure thing (but most likely). We REALLY like the name Kenley Rae. It's girly and she'd have my middle name. So that's it for now. We haven't really found anything better...but I'd be open for suggestions!

I also HAVE to tell you this story. So if you read one of my previous posts...we bought the baby a Michigan onesie. This onesie is navy blue with yellow writing on it (Michigan's colors of course). Well, the first thing Brady said when we got home after we found out we're having a girl was.. 

"She can't wear that." 

And of course I questioned him because it's only his FAVORITE football team. His response...

"it's not girly enough for her. It's navy blue!" 

haha I seriously about peed my pants! This little girl is going to be so spoiled by her daddy!

If you're curious as to what we're having...check out the blog :)
