Pictures from Laney's 4D ultrasound! She was such a good baby, the tech said she was the best she had seen all day. Plenty of fluid and she was giving such good smiles! Double checked she's definitely a girl! Julie and Ronnie loved seeing her on the big screen. Cody fell asleep on the way there and woke up right after it was over. : ( But we have pictures and a dvd set to music.

Just trying to get ready for her arrival in the coming weeks along with the holidays!

Rennovating the house!

It looks like from pictures that we helped alot but really Daddy did everything! He's such a hard worker for our family. I have newly painted walls and laminate flooring just about done! It's so much cleaner than carpet, I love it already! Thanks Daddy for installing it! We love you!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.............

............. and the baby's name is ..................... Laney Rae ......... for now anyway : )

Now I just need to design, rather have my mom, design something cute with her name for my blog.

93 days to go! Daddy is going to install laminate flooring in the living and dining room this next weekend for our baby girl. I should take pictures of that! We also got a new (to us) table and six chairs with two leafs last night! The Lord has been blessing our company, what an awesome thing it is to trust the Lord your God with all your heart, and he will bring you the desires of your heart!

It's a GIRL!

August 21st is the day we took all three of the children to the sonogram. Julie and Ronnie understood the most from the sonogram. Cody sat on Daddy's lap most of the time and said Baby a lot. Julie was so excited when the sonogram tech told us it was a baby girl, 99% sure. She asked what her name is going to be and Ronnie piped in with his favorite pick, Abby. She said what is her middle name, in which he replied, "Cadabby". She's a character on Sesame street.

We have not decided on a name as of yet. Lots of choices, but we do know that we want her to have a name that ends in IE or Y.

NEEDED ASAP!

Well Goodtime has been climbing out of his crib for a little while now but this last few days have been horrible. He keeps climbing out as soon as his door is shut. He can open the door now so he just comes right out and gives the biggest grin you've ever seen. I have three children and this is the first time I have ever had to purchase something like this. Boy is he in for a suprise. He's so active and just wants to be on the go. But this needs to be for his safety and mine and copenhagen mans sanity. I just bought one on ebay, because babiesrus does not carry it. Hopefully it will get here soon. He didn't go to sleep in his bed until after 10:30 tonight, just like last night.......... I'm ready for this phase to be over. lol But after this phase we will have to go to the big boy bed, and I don't know how he'll do staying in that.

Doesn't it look like his halo is held up with horns! lol But he's starting to speak very well. He's saying the normal Momma, Daddy, Sista, Bubba but can now say Eat, Drink, Cookie, Cheese, Cake Cake, Down, Out, Bye Bye, Ball (not gall anymore)

Keep on keepin' on

My husband is awesome! He completely suprised me yesterday. We have been talking about me starting college for a little bit, and the steps that we need to do in order for me to get to my dream of becoming a NURSE. He brought home my new laptop yesterday that he purchase for me! How awesome is that. Today I went and registered for school at the County college. I need to take the test tomorrow and I hope to sign up for online classes next week, for the summer.
We are also trying to get pregnant this year, which shouldn't be too hard for me to do, since I'm affectionately known as fertile mrtyle. My hope is to be done with at least the basics by the time the littlest one is headed to school, I would love to be done with the nursing program but that takes two years it's self. My middle son told me today that I'm too old to go back to school and that I cannot be a nurse, that I'm a Mommy. : ) Though I love being a mommy and I will always be one, I need to get a college degree and nursing degree so when they are older I will have a good nursing job and Copenhagen Man won't have to work as hard. Our hope is by then he will have the plumbing business in full swing, having people working for us.
