Belly pictures

I don't really LOVE being pregnant and don't really LOVE posting pictures of myself pregnant either but some family members are requesting that I do this so here it is.
I don't feel as big as I was with Crew at this point but after looking at these maybe I'm wrong. By the time it's all said and done I'm going to wish I was this size again. My belly just goes straight out! It's times like these I wish I was a little taller so that I had some place for growing room.

Kids playing some ball

Koye just likes to run around and chase the ball.
Crew and his fishy face.

Dad trying to teach Crew how it's done.
He's got the right idea here.
If only I was a little taller.

Fun Run!

Today was Madisen's Fun Run for her school. It's a big fund raiser that they do. The kids get pledges to sponsor them for however many laps they run. Or you can just donate a flat fee. Thanks a bunch to all of Madi's Grandma's and Grandpa's, Aunts and Uncles who donated money for her. She was so excited about this and also excited about all the pledges she got, excited because she can will prizes herself depending on how much money she raised.
Here she is in action. She actually did really well, better than I could have done. She ran 4 laps, about a mile. Even parents could get in on the running action. You know, being pregnant and all I just decided to sit this one out......otherwise I totally would have done it! :)
Here is Crew cheering on Madisen. We had to try to keep him from getting run over. He wanted to run with the kids.

Here's Madisen with her class getting ready to go back in after the Fun Run.
They got to cool down with popcicles after it was all over.

We all came out to cheer on our Madisen. She did so good!

Having fun in the sun

We had a little while between Fun Run and Madisen to be done with school so the kids took advantage of the nice weather and played on the playground.
Here's Billy "shakin" Koye up.

Crew has really started to love the swing, sometimes dad gets him going a little too high, but he still loves it!

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

GIRL!! We had our ultrasound today and this is our verdict. Madisen is so excited to have a baby sister. I think she is picturing a real life doll to dress up and play house with. Koye is even excited to have a sister. He told me that he wanted a girl baby. So, looks like we got what we all wanted. Billy was hoping for a boy. He thinks having daughters will make him worry too much, especially during those dating, teenage years! I guess he wants to hang on to as much of his hair as he possibly can.

Tear, tear....sniff, sniff

We watched this drive away today, sad day in the Farris household. We finally sold our truck because no matter how hard we try we just aren't going to fit another kid in the back seat. We have had many great times and memories in this truck. Who knew a vehicle could make you so sad when it is gone. Billy just said "that's okay, I'll get another one some day". Glad he is being positive about it. I think I even took it harder than Billy. I was impressed how well he did. This little girl is already causing him heartache!
