Birthdays, Babies, Bellies and Ballfields

A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks! My "baby" Jax had his fourth birthday!! I still can't believe how fast he's growing and how much has changed since then. We went the dr. for his checkup and he is still a very big boy. He was 45" tall and almost 50 pounds!!!!!!!!!! I'm afraid that my discipline won't be nearly as effective when I'm staring up at him ;) We also addressed his sleeping issues while at the doctor and I think we're going to put him in a sleep study! I'm hoping this will be the answer to our prayers and we can get him some good quality sleep on a regular basis.

We also went for a checkup on the new baby last week. We had a repeat ultrasound, because they couldn't get all the shots they needed at our 20 week appt. He looks great and the cysts look like they are SHRINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was an amazing appt. especially compared to our previous one ;) He is looking perfect and still on schedule to arrive in November. Thank you so much to everyone that has been praying for us, and we ask that you keep it up because its obviously doing the trick!!!

I got to go to our good friend Lara's baby shower the other day. She is having twin girls and it was so nice to see her off bedrest and getting ready for 2 babies!!!!!!!!!! It really got me excited about having a baby and getting to enjoy another newborn one last time. Unfortunately while we were there, we were forced to take pictures. I guess the one good thing is that it saved me from having to take my own photo, and I'm at least wearing makeup :) So here are a few photos from the past few weeks....enjoy!
Last, but certainly not least, we have a new addition to our front yard. Corey decided that having 3 boys was obviously God's way of telling something. Apparently, it was telling Corey that we needed to build a ballfield in our front yard!!! I was not thrilled, but I must admit it turned out pretty cool and I'm sure the boys will love it when they get a little older. Until then, Corey and his overgrown childhood friends/relatives will make use of it :)
