8 Months

So I am 8 months pregnant now and am so excited that I only have less than 2 months to go!!!!! I am feeling great and am so anxious to meet my little guy. We finally settled on a name on Christmas and his name is going to be Jackson Kenneth Rose. Addison has been calling him baby Jackson FOREVER now and so we thought we couldn't let her down and of course I love the name and Kenneth is Wesley's dad's name. Addison is so excited about baby brother and she asks almost every day if we can push him out yet. I really think she is going to be a great Big Sister, maybe a little rough at first, but I think she will be a little mommy and be a huge help. I have to admit I am a little bit scared because taking care of 2 kids all by myself sounds a little daunting and hectic but I'm sure that we will fall into a routine in no time and I am looking forward to all of it!!!!!! We did get a sneak peek at little Jackson on my birthday and that made it extremely real to me and made m even more excited about having a little boy. He just seems so real now and he moves a lot. A lot more than Addison does and he's really funny because he likes m to lie a certain way and when I do he kind of rests his little feet down comfortably but if I flip to the other side he gets mad and his feet start going crazy until I flip back to his "preferred side." It's quite hilarious and it make me laugh!!!! Sometimes he likes to play around and kick me on my right side (his "preferred" side) and I will try to feel his little foot and as soon as I feel it he pulls it in and kind of "hides" it farther back on my right side, and last night I felt around and I found it and he jumped like I caught him and found his little footie, it was really cool, might sound a little nuts but it really was cute! I now these next few weeks are going to fly by so I am trying to take it all in and spend as much time with Addison as I can and cherish the little time he has left inside me because I just love that part, love feeling him move and play around and know that he is growing and maturing right inside of me, it truly is a miracle!!!!!!!!!

Birthday and New Years Eve Pics

We went out for a yummy dinner at Bonefish Grill with some friends and then tried to go putt putt golf but it was a 3 hour wait so off to Oviedo Bowling Lanes we went!! Of course, because I was pregnant I ROCKED!!!! When I was pregnant with Addison we went bowling a lot and I always bowled sooooo good, unlike my non-pregnant self usually scoring a 50 or less I always scored over 100. So the 2nd picture is of my 144 score and Wes's 64 score!!!!!!

For New Years Eve we had some friends over and had tons of yummy food and rocked out to Guitar Hero's World Tour. We played the drums, the guitar and sang our hearts out, I have NO idea how Addison and Ella slept through it all because we were really LOUD!!! After we rang in the New Year we switched to some Dance Dance Revolution and I got Wes on video rocking out, hilarious!!!
