Exciting update!

It has been way too long since I last blogged! For a while, I didn't have a whole lot to blog about that was real uplifting since I was so sick of being sick! AJ, Aleigh, and even Ansley were troopers up until my 16th week, when the nausea started to fade away finally! The kids have been so certain that we are having another boy, so on May 21st, when I was just 16 weeks pregnant, my mom treated us to an early 3D ultra sound so we could either confirm that the kids were right, or correct them and prepare them for another girl! Of course, as you all probably already know, we are THRILLED to be having another baby boy! I think I was able to see that it was a boy before the ultra sound tech! We plan to name him "Austin James." Unlike Ansley, Austin doesn't move much, and I tend to freak out. He gives me an occasional tap once a day! Aleigh was the same way, so maybe he will be a little less wild than AJ and Ansley! :)

When I was pregnant with Ansley I had 4 really close friends who were also having baby girls within 3 months of each other! Only thing is, this was the 1st for most of my friends, and the 3rd for me! Now I have one friend who just had a baby boy (her second child and second boy), another friend who is about to have her second child (a boy), and another who is about to have her second and is also having a boy! I guess I just felt I needed to jump on board and have a boy w/ them! ;) We are all so excited! I have another friend who also just found out she is going to be having her second in February!!! It's an official BABY BOOM!!! This time it seems to be all boys, where as last time it was all girls! I love it!




ROMANCE IN GREECE
We also have some other VERY EXCITING news...my older brother James had to take a jet over to Greece, where his girlfriend (Amy) met him so that they could enjoy a vacation in Greece! I must say, what a perfect place (judging by the photos) to enjoy a romantic getaway! They took advantage of the romantic scenery and James proposed!!! She said yes, of course because they are ENGAGED! We are so super excited for both James and Amy!!! They are so, obviously, in love and it's so easy to see when you see the way they look at eachother and have so much respect for eachother! It's a perfect match, if you ask me! :)

Here are a couple of photos from their trip:

This one shows the amazing scenery that they were able to enjoy at night!

Right after they got engaged!


CONGRATULATIONS James and Amy!!! We love you guys!
