It's a...

GIRL!!!!

I still am in shock.  The entire pregnancy I kept calling the baby a girl and we were really hoping to give Drake a little sister but I never thought that it would actually happen!  Drake went with us and was talking to her on the "tv". It was really cute.  She had her legs crossed for most of the time (just like Drake did when we went for his 18 week ultrasound) but we finally got a good view.  Now to figure out a name...

Here are a few of the pictures from the sonogram of our daughter:

(the face pictures always look alien like to me)

this one is funny because you can see how tightly her legs are crossed-at least she's modest!

Oktoberfest 2010

Addison's Oktoberfest always falls on my birthday so this year-for my 30th, that's how we celebrated. It was a little different since I couldn't participate in the beer drinking, but I did my best to sample as much food as possible. Drake danced his little booty off to the German band in the big tent, he was just getting in touch with his German heritage :)

The same weekend Drake decided that his new bff was his sock monkey, who he named Cokey Cokey after his Uncle Cole...

Drake meets Plex!

Drake absolutely loves the show Yo Gabba Gabba so I was excited when I heard that Plex, one of the characters from the show would be at a Babies R Us grand opening. Drake was SO excited to see him! David was lucky enough to get in the picture as well :)

Labor Day weekend and Sarah's baby shower

For Labor Day weekend we went up to Oklahoma to go to Oklahoma State's opening game against Washington State-and I didn't take even 1 picture at the game :(. Drake stayed with Pops, ZaZa and Uncle Cole and had a blast.  It's funny how a toddler can get all of these guys into a pink barbie tent :)

On Sunday I went to Sarah's baby shower while the boys stayed in Edmond.  It was great to be able to see Sarah and Mel for 2 days in a row!  Sarah looked so adorable and I can't wait to see her baby boy!!

Drake's new cousin Jake is here!  I was able to go to Lawton to see him the day after he was born.  It was crazy to hold a baby that tiny again-can't believe that Drake was ever that small!  Jake looks a lot like his big brother Matt and I can't wait to watch all the boys grow up together.  Here are some pics of the precious little guy:

I'm way behind...

I know but I have a good excuse-this new life that I have working from home and being a full time stay-at-home mom is crazy busy (not that I expected anything less)!  I am ready for fall so that the little mister and I can get out of the house because, let's face it, August in Texas sucks.  Although, when I think about fall, I think about September, and when I think about September, I think about the 17th and how I will be 30 soon.  THIRTY?!  How did that happen so fast?  I swear that I just graduated college (7 years ago, WHAT?!)
I definitely am already feeling at least 30, if not 50, but that is probably due to other factors.  Which brings me to a little announcement that Drake would like to make...

Yes, Drake is going to be a big brother in February!  I'm 13 weeks and over the past couple of days I've actually started to feel human again.  I've definitely felt way worse this time than I did with Drake, but that could be due to chasing a 2 year old around constantly.

See, I told you that I had a good excuse for not posting :)

More pics of the birthday boy

We had family in town the weekend of Drake's birthday so instead of having a big party, we just had a few small celebrations. Drake's Uncle JT and Aunt Stacey were here Friday-Sunday and Pops, ZaZa and Uncle Cole were here Sunday-Tuesday. Drake was completely spoiled and had the best time.

Here are a few pics:
