19 weeks

i am 19 weeks PREGNANT!
we are having a BOY!
gabi came with us to find out what we were having...our doctor's office apparently has a leak! GROSS!!

this is what has occupied my time for the last few months.
i have been exhausted. beyond exhausted.
having other kids to take care of has not been manageable for me.
we are all very excited about the little baby boy we are going to be having.
the kids pray for him many times a day...if someone forgets to pray for him jake will start yelling "BABY! BABY!"
he grabs my hand again and we pray for the baby!
i love it, it's so precious. sometimes i forget to pray for the baby on purpose, just because i like to see him so concerned/excited to pray for our little growing guy!
we have absolutely no names picked out, but we have time for that.

i have gained about 12 lbs. so far, but i feel huge, like i have gained 50 plus lbs.

i felt the first kicks on labor day...it was very exciting. i now feel kicking everyday.
jacob hasn't felt the kicking yet. it seems too sporadic for him to catch one yet.

jacob doesn't believe it's a boy, just like with jake. he said he won't believe it until he's born.
kisses for our son!

112

112 degrees!
fall has started here in california and it was 112 degrees yesterday.
that is just sickening to me!
i mean i wouldn't be surprised if it were summer, but i am sooooo ready for cool weather and pants and pumpkins.
I LOVE FALL!

when daddy got home he did what every good dad does on a HOT day!

running through the sprinkler.
i knew this might be one of the last times i see those chubby arms or those skinny little legs in a bathing suit until next summer, so i couldn't miss taking some pics of my babies.
next summer they will be 4 1/2 and almost 3!
they grow up so fast and as the seasons are changing (hopefully) they are getting older too.
i have never done well with change...but i am trying to embrace it...it's just hard.

***in a few days i will tell you all where i have been and why i haven't blogged in so long.***
