Decisions Decisions Decisions

Decision #1: Daycare for Kevin and baby! When we decided to change daycares it actually was a very difficult decision for both of us. I was worried about hurting Kevin's feelings by changing one of the most routined things in his life. Then I had to think about baby and what he would get out of the new place. 2 little lives I could potentially mess up...just great!! We did the most natural thing and began praying about it. We visited several centers, all had good things and not so good things. Then there was one that just stood out amoung them all. It's a Christian based center and they hold chapel every morning at 9am, teaching the kids Bible stories, singing songs and praying. Wow - I was thinking about a new daycare, a place for him to learn letters and numbers and coloring in the lines...never would I have imagined that God would give us this "bonus" in our search for the perfect place. And it is just that - the perfect place. It's about a mile from our house and when both kids are enrolled, we are saving over $200 a month in tuition.

Decision #2: Baby finally has a name. Drum role please.... Introducing Andrew Ryan Sasser! I love it more everytime I see it. No big story behind this name, besides Ryan is Ben's middle name and I don't have to spell it, sound it out to pronounce it or worry about others mispelling it. And with a "simple" name like Kevin, we needed something along the same lines with this one.

We also registered at Babies R Us today. This was so much easier than registering when I was pregnant with Kevin. Just a few things here and there and we were done! Now that we have a new daycare, a name and registered - things are all falling into place. Pregnancy is sitll going good...feeling great and baby is moving like crazy.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

It feels just like yesterday I was posting this and here I am again announcing we are having another boy! I really didn't have a gut feeling about this one but had multiple dreams about having a boy. I never would have thought I'd be the mommy of 2 boys! Kevin is so excited about having a baby "brudder" and wants to see him and talk to him all the time.

We're still discussing names - I thought we had a few lined up but Ben has decided he doesn't like ANY of them so I'm back at square one. I'm not into unique, spelled funny, don't know if it's a boy or a girl or can't pronounce it names! I need simple, easy to yell a hundred times a day and don't have to spell names. So the search continues and hopefully ends soon!

We're still here.....

Not much to update on these days...we're still here and all doing great! Pregnancy is going wonderful, baby is moving so much these days, not big kicks just little pokes when I'm hungry (or baby is hungry), when I eat or drink and usually when I roll over in the middle of the night (like baby is trying to comfortable again too!). We find out Thursday what we're having and I'm so ready. My gut says boy but I still refer to the baby as a girl on most days. Dresses and bows sound fun in the beginning but in the end throwing on a pair of shorts and t-shirt for a boy is so much easier!!!

Speaking of easy boys...Kevin is growing again and it was time for his yearly closet clean out and new clothes for the Fall shopping today. He's wearing a size 9 shoe now and 3T shirts and pants - getting so big!!!

Ben had to work overtime today but had a 4 hour gap between shifts so Kevin and I met him in Flower Mound and had a fun shopping day! First we visited the animal shelter in town where Ben had arranged for a tour of the facility. Kevin loved it. All those dogs and cats didn't know what to expect with this toddler everywhere but we had a blast. Next we visited the brilliant stars store in highland village - probably the coolest store I've ever stepped into. Seriously, check them out on Facebook!

I'll updated again on Thursday and post a list of baby names we're considering!!!
