Little Sister Lydia

The boys are getting a little sister and her name is Lydia! We got to see Lydi on Friday at my ultrasound. I was 17 w 6 d and she looked heathly and adorable. We brought the boys with us and Payton sat at watched the TV screen with the ultrasound of his baby the whole time. Kellen was mostly oblivious and just sat in the stroller eating his lunch. It was such a great experience. I have been feeling so different this pregnancy so part of me suspected a girl, but since a boy is all we have ever known I inadvertantly called her "he" for a long time (and still sometimes do!) One of my best friends who has a three girls just found out she is having a boy, so we will have lots of stuff to trade :)
Here are a few of the ultrasound picture




It is a girl!

These are the balloons that Payton showed up at his Grandma's works with to announce the big news!
Here are a few more of the boys:

"You got a friend in me!"

16 weeks

17+ weeks

I can feel her moving quite a bit now, but I don't think I am showing quite as much as I was with the boys. I am currently at my starting weight. I had gained 2 lbs, but I had the flu last week so I am back to even. I am sure the weight will start to pile on soon though! We rented a doppler for a month and we have had fun listening to Lydi's heartbeat and hearing her move all over. Payton loves to use it to talk to her.

Christmas pictures!

Here are a ton of picture from Christmas. I couldn't decide which ones not to post. We had an awesome but crazy Christmas and I can only imagine it getting even crazier over the next few years.
Everyone in their Christmas Sweaters, Christmas Eve. This is as close as we could get to everyone looking and smiling!

Trying to get a picture of Payton and Kellen sitting on the couch together... It never did happen :)


Kellen and Sammy


Stockings!
This might of have been Payton's favorite gift!



Christmas Eve Jammies

Good idea Papa!
Thank you for our jammies Grandma :)
As close as we got to a picture in front of the tree Christmas morning...oh well
