20 weeks and BEACH!!!


My babies!!!!! We took our family vacation to Myrtle Beach for the week! While pregnancy and the heat are just plain awful, I loved every second. Keegan really was kicking while I laid out, probably hates the sun like his dad, but we had a great time! While I admit, first time sober on the beach in a long time, I had so much fun watching Bailey. She is a little beach bum! She talks so much these days, and I love watching her figure out things. She loved catching fish with her net and finding shells. She wasn't scared of the waves and all but like the baby pools much better. Every morning we had to look outside and make sure the beach was still there! I can't wait for Keegan to join us next year! 

You really haven't lived until you drive 9 hours in a car listening to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on DVD....

Also, I went to my friend Lane's baby shower. She is having a little boy in August. I am sure baby Wells and Keegan will be great buddies! Their grandparents are also neighbors so I am sure these two will have many adventures together!

Well, you are still a boy! So let the real planning and nursery decorating begin! You were still shy on the ultrasound unlike your crazy sister at this point. Maybe you will be my calm child?

Bump still there no hiding it! My veiny leg is much worse this go around and the heat doesn't help much! I am feeling you move and flip alot these days especially at night when I am trying to go to sleep! I have weird cravings for things like pickles and not so much sweets like with Bailey. Maybe I won't gain as much weight with this pregnancy? Speaking of weight, at my appointment I have gained 7lbs so far, however, I started about 5lbs heavier than first pregnancy....ya know, my mommy muscles, right :)

Bailey and Keegan had their first airplane ride to Chicago for Michelle and John's wedding! Bailey did so well and I didn't have to pee a single time on the airplane which is a blessing! While I really missed celebrating with the drinks, I still had a good time...sober in Chicago was something I haven't experienced in a very LOOOOONG time!

I have "popped" this week! You can see I have a belly from the front, but the side view isn't very "bumpy" yet. My clothes are getting super tight these days especially my pants. I feel this pregnancy more in my booty and thighs than with Bailey!

I cleaned out Bailey's clothes this week and took them off to be consigned. I decided Keegan needed a start to his closet since we won't have any hand-me-downs like we did with Bailey. Can you tell I love green and navy for little boys?

Hello, first week of summer break and relaxation! Not really, Bailey and I have taken full advantage and stayed very busy! I am still run/walking about 45 minutes and taking a few yoga classes. I can't tell I get winded much easier, but I feel better once it is over and I take a nap :) I have been addicted to sonic sweet tea and watermelon this week!

Hey there little bump!

16 weeks and it's a ...

 School is wrapping up and I am still pretty tired!We did an early ultrasound at OBaby! and found out that you are a.....
 Sweet little baby BOY! Keegan Ames Embree! You were being very shy on the ultrasound and had your hands all over your boy parts...typical boy already!  To reveal to our families, we gave them a bag of all these candies and asked them to figure out what they all had in common...
They all have NUTS...get it...nuts...it's a boy! Of coarse, my dad guessed it right away!

We put a recording of Keegan's heartbeat in this monkey and Bailey loves it! 


So we are having a boy, which means we are DONE!!! One girl and one boy! Happy little family of 4! I also had my monthly check-up and everything looks good. We are still trying to get my thyroid meds evened out, but other than that everything is moving right along...and the doc saw our ultrasound pics and confirmed it is a boy!
