IT'S A ...........

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!! WE ARE SO, SO EXCITED!!!

We had our ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, and found out, without a doubt, that our final family member is going to be a little Miss. :) I am the most excited momma out there I think. Obviously, I would have been happy and excited with either, just a healthy little baby, but I am so glad to have the opportunity to be the momma of a daughter, as well as my sons. She will be a blessing to our family, and we just can't wait to meet her.

So, here is a picture of our little lady. She is waving to us. So awesome. Measuring right on target, unlike my boys, who were always a minimum of a week ahead of schedule. We haven't officially decided on a name, but have a few favorites we are tossing around. One in particular seems to be sticking out, and that will probably be her name, although, we probably aren't going to reveal it until she is here. So, stay tuned in late August to find out what the beauty's name will be. :)

Here is a cute picture of my handsome boys on Easter morning. It's getting harder to get Hudson to stay still AND smiling for a good picture these days. He's just "too busy" for that stuff. But, they both looked so nice and handsome dressed in their Sunday best. haha. I love my boys, they are so awesome. Austyn is already such an awesome big brother to Hudson, I am sure he will be great with the newest sibling as well. He is excited to have a sister on the way too. Hudson is still too young to really get what's going on yet. Although, I have noticed he has become a little bit more clingy with me, whiny at times and jealous of other people touching or "loving" on me. Could just be a phase or his age, or maybe he senses something, I'm not sure.

And this is just a random picture of Hudson in the tub. It was just sooooo cute I had to put it on here. He seems to have a love/hate relationship with bath time. It's quite odd. He is excited to take a bath usually, but won't go in the bathroom if the water is running by himself (which is a characteristic I love), but once he's in, he loves it. (and to clarify, I DO NOT leave him in there alone, after reading this over, it kind of sounded like that) He likes bubbles and a cup to play with, and LOVES to splash around. He does not, however, like his toys in the tub. I have bought him several different bath toys, but he does not like them in there, or the washcloth. If I put them in there with him, he goes into almost a panic to get them out and on the edge of the tub. Weird, but comical to watch. He doesn't mind water being dumped over his head, which is another trait I love. Definitely makes washing him much easier. And he is not afraid of the drain, which is NOT a quality I love, because I can't use it as a way to get him out of the tub, since he never wants to get out! And yes, I'm that mom who uses "fear" to get her kids to do what she wants at times, within reason. :)

So, that's the scoop for now. Nothing else really going on. I have been feeling MUCH better these days, so that makes me (and I'm sure everyone else dealing with me) very happy. We have been doing some spring cleaning, since the weather is finally warming up, and of course, garage saling. I love a good deal at a garage sale. My sister is moving out in a couple of weeks, so we will be doing some rearranging and painting and decorating for our new room, Hud's new room and, of course, the baby's room. Our anniversary is coming up this month and Austyn will be 12 this month as well. Busy, busy month for us. Good things happening. Bring on the summer!! YAY!
