Time to Move.........

We are going to be moving over Christmas break.... but only a mile down the road :) At least since I am pregnant I can just be the dictator tell the boys where to put things! Josh and Isaac think I am pretty good at that job anyway. We need three bedrooms since little brother will be making his appearance before too much longer. We are going to rent until we can start building. Hopefully we will be able to get our house built in 2010... I am sooo ready!!!

Belly Shot at Week 22

Here is a belly shot of week 22. I have grown by leaps and bounds the past few weeks. We had an OB appt today and another ultrasound. Everything looked good.. he is still a boy! His head was down and his feet were right at my ribs. I have been feeling him move for several weeks now. The last couple weeks his kicks and jabs have gotten significantly stronger. He is definitely a feisty little boy. My blood pressure was fine.. neither Josh or I could remember what it was when we got home. I have gained five more pounds... ahhhh. I think all those biscuits from the school cafeteria are starting to have an effect.

Last Football game!!!

I know I shouldn't put that title in exclamations but..... his football practice started the end of July so I am very much ready for it to be over. His team didn't do so hot this year but they did win the last game. Here is a pic of Isaac in his gear!

Halloween 2009

Isaac was a ninja this year....he picked out his costume via picture messaging on my phone... isn't techonolgoy amazing. Josh stopped at the Halloween store after work on Thursday and took pics of costumes until Isaac saw one he liked.

We had a Halloween festival/dance at our school on Friday. He told me that he wanted to go but didn't want to take a partner. I am thankful he is not obsessed with having a 'girlfriend'. After I told him there were no slow dances and he had nothing to fear he was totally pumped. He learned the 'Sinister Stomp' in PE for the dance.

On Halloween, it was raining and we were in Asheville for Nanny Fender's 70th birthday dinner so we took him by the mall. Lots of interesting costumes for sure, not too much candy... a good thing!

Here is a pic of my nephew Carter in his Halloween costume. He was a 'Pea in the Pod'. Too cute!!!

Name Game

We are really struggling with a name for this baby. We have decided on Thomas for his middle name but just can't come up with a first name. Thomas is for my dad, both my grandfathers, my uncle, my cousin, and 4 of my great-grandfathers. I also want the new baby's name to flow with Isaac's name. Hummm.... any suggestions??

It's a ...................

BOY!!!
Today we went for our 18 week anatomy scan. The baby showed off and we definitly saw the 'boy parts'. Isaac was elated... he has been wanting a boy since he found out we were expecting! My checkup went fine: BP 116/72, and I gained 3 lbs. I will try to scan in the pics later.

Life and Death

My sweet grandmother died on Friday 10/9/09 at 8:00 in the morning. Rebecca Sackett Greenlee Boyd was a wonderful grandmother. I could tell her anything and sit and listen to her tell stories for hours. She cared so much for others and was the strongest person I know. I am proud to carry her name. It hurts so much to lose her... I definitly wasn't ready to let her go but I know she is pain free and rejoicing with our heavenly Father. She had endured cancer for over five years without telling anyone but her housekeeper... she did not want us to worry. It is hard to imagine life without her. She was so special and we were very close.
