It's a...

BOY!!

We got back from the ultrasound not that long ago. The first view that she saw when she said it was a boy we kind of just had to believe her, then she was able to get a better view and we were both pretty sure that she was right. He was very active and moving around a lot. I am measuring at December 15th which is just a day before I thought the due date was. So know we are going to be hitting the garage sales faithfully. If anyone knows someone who is done with kiddos and wants go get rid of some boy clothes for a good price, please let us know. We are really excited but also kind of nervous, I know how to handle the girls not so much the boys. Andrea did say that their hair is easier to do though which is good since Sofie's hair always looks so crazy. We are pretty sure that we have a name but we are going to leave it until he is born and see what seems like the best. If this was another little girl I don't know if we would have gotten through this, boy names were so much easier for us. We will keep you posted how the pregnancy is going.

Funny Girl

This is what I found when I went to check on Sofie, she was sound asleep. I usually check to make sure she is still on her bed. The other day before she finally fell asleep I had to go in 2 or 3 times and take her shoes off of her, and take all the books out of her bed. For the most part I will let her read for a little bit before she falls asleep, I guess today the book was to heavy to hold any longer.

Sofie has become quite the pack rat lately. It isn't very often that you see her with out her two purses, phone, keys, water, baby, stroller and anything else she can shove in the purses or stroller. Here she is showing her keys that she has to at all times know where they are. She will put her shoes on and pick up the purses and key and announce that she is going "shoppin". When you ask where she is going she replies "store" She is rather funny.

She quickly made this her exercise ball rolling all around the house on top of it. It looses air quickly so it was flat within minutes.

We went to the pool with the Cox Family last Saturday, Sofie had a lot of fun. We don't have pictures at the pool but this is what she looked like when we came home. Nice hair!

finally some pictures

I have finally gotten around to getting some pictures up here. Sofie has been sleeping in her big girl bed for the last two nights. The first night I went in around 3am to check on her and she was kneeling by her bed sound asleep, I am not sure if she slipped and never woke up or if she was awake and couldn't get back in her bed. Last night pretty much the same thing. Both nights we laid her down and she never got up I was very happy about that. This morning when Nathan left for work I checked on her and her leg was hanging off the side but I left her because I didn't want her to wake up when I checked her again she was back on the bed. Then around 7:15 or so she woke up and I couldn't get up so she stayed in her bed and played until 8:00 when I went in there to get her out. I have to say this is working out better than I thought it was going to(I hope I don't jinx it).
When we were on vacation Sofie fell in love with Laura's boyfriend. He has recently returned from Iraq so my Mom sent Sofie some clothes and one of the outfits was a shirt that said my Hero wears combat boots with a camo skirt and butt cover. Right now Sofie is just wearing the skirt (I don't think she could find the shirt, probably in the dirty clothes). There was another little dress that was really cute. She wore it to church yesterday.This was the best picture I could get of the second outfit and she had to have the shoes on which were quite a bit to big. Oh well she was having fun.This is an outfit that Aunt Lanita sent to Sofie, it's a 3T so I thought it might be to big right now but its really cute when it's a little big. The shoes are from Aunt Sarah and they are fur lined (fake of course) but she had to wear them. It's close to 100 degrees outside, she wouldn't take them off to go outside finally I pulled them off under great protest and her feet were drenched in sweat. I also trimmed her bangs, I don't know if you can tell in this picture or not. She looks pretty cute now, but I messed up her pigtails when I trimmed them. But since she only has pigtails on Sundays it's not that big of a deal.
Here she is on her new mattress for her bed.

Here are a couple of pictures from vacation.

Overwhelmed

Right now I am so overwhelmed by pictures and the thought of having to sort through them and figure out what is what. I know that we didn't get some pictures that we wanted to, for some reason we never seem to get pictures with Nathan's parents and Sofie together. So for right now I will put a couple up just to get some new pictures on here. We are maybe seeing them in august so we have a mission when we see them again.

In other news, I went to the Dr's today for the regular appt and they were having quite a bit of trouble finding the baby's heartbeat. I was pretty close to going to the hospital for an ultrasound but another tech was finally able to get it. She even was having trouble finding it. So after some rather scary moments they found it and everything sounded good.
