We have a name!!!!!!!!!!

Enter the third Trimester!
It's crazy to think that I will soon have another boy to take care of and love! We are getting more and more excited as time goes and although we are nervous about what to expect we know we're in store for a lot of fun. This trimester we taught Beckton to find the baby in Mommy's tummy, push a baby around in a stroller and when we ask him what Kalvin says - Beckton says MOO!!! Clearly he thinks we are asking what a Cow says, but who cares it's the cutest thing ever.

The back story on the name Kalvin -Honestly we don't have the greatest story but we both really liked the name. We decided against the traditional spelling of Calvin mostly due to the fact that Calvin Kenney seemed too much like Calvin Klein and I liked the double K and Aly who really thought the K was a good idea was very persuasive!!

Week 27 - somehow this picture turned out well despite the fact that I have no makeup on and I'm wearing a beater and jean shorts! Cropping and editing photos works wonders!

28 weeks along at a friends baby shower!

30 weeks along and I got to get all dressed up for a friends wedding! The below pictures make me smile because we had such a fun night with our friends! Aly took the picture of me and all of my drinks, a coke, a water and my FAVORITE DRINK WHILE PREGNANT - VIRGIN PINA COLADAS.


There is something about this photo that I love. I think it's just the fact that we are outside and I am not completely huge yet! I was headed to one of MANY baby showers since there are so many of my friends and family that are pregnant. It will be so much fun to have babies together and enjoy maternity leave and play dates! I will get a taste of what being a stay at home mom is really like!

Katie at 34 weeks - this week I decided I wanted a day away at the Beach! Since we don't really have one close we went to the Beach Water park! We floated around the lazy river, laid in the sun and swam in the wave pool. Something about this pregnancy has made me just want to stay in water at all times! This summer I longed for the pool everyday and took many baths. Although we only went to the real Beach in Siesta Key once I could have lived in that Ocean! Maybe I should try a water birth! Haha.

35 weeks - headed to the Greek Festival for some great food!

Me at 36 weeks - in our backyard!

Can hardly believe I made it to 37 weeks! Below are some fun family pictures of Scott, Beckton and I awaiting the arrival of Kalvin. I love the below photos but somewhere between week 36 and 37 I really started swelling!

As the time approaches I have so many emotions. Beckton has no idea what's about to happen (and I'm guessing neither do we!) I am certainly in nesting mode and have been for weeks and weeks. It's like I keep preparing and running everything through again and again ... did I miss something? Do we have diapers? Who will take Beckton if something happens in the middle of the night? Are we ready? I KNOW we're ready, we have everything done and set-up, bags packed, pictures hung, work getting closer and closer to feeling like I can take my 3 month leave ... I am just in anticipation and I'm trying to have everything done so that I can rest and take care of my boys!
