it's a BOY!!!

Yep that's right! It's a little BOY!!
We are so excited! We just need to decide on a name!! :)It will be __?__ Baylis Strawn (Baylis has been the middle passeddown for 4 generations now...can't break that tradition)

Here is the list:

-Noah

-Owen

-Fisher

-Samuel

-Hunter
Thankfully we still have a while to decide. :)

In the ultrasound picture he is sucking his little thumb and has his other arm and hand behind his head. Just taking a little nap! :)

TOO CUTE! :)
The Dr. said that everything looks great with both me and the baby! :)
I felt him move the other day, but haven't felt anything since. They said I should start feeling it a lot on about 2-3 more weeks. That will be just weird....cool, but weird.

The belly has arrived!

Where did this big belly come from? It seems like it just grew over night! :) The baby is a little bigger than an avocado now and is supposed to grow A LOT in the next month. My belly has also grown a lot in the last 2 weeks. Clothes are starting to fit rather tight now...or not fit all :) We got to the Dr. on March 26th for another Ultrasound and to see if we have a baby boy or girl! We can't WAIT! :) I haven't felt it move yet, but I should start feeling something in the next couple of weeks. (what a weird experience that will be....) That's all for now. Still feeling great, just a little stretched! :)

11 1/2 weeks and counting....

Right now I am 11 1/2 weeks. Which means this baby is already over 1.5 inches long! They have made all theirparts, and are nowworking on growing them all. This means I will also be growing lots in the next month.....I will post pictures of that later.

He (or she) is quite the little mover. I can't feel anything yet, but when the Dr. did the Ultrasound last week the baby was kicking his little feet like CRAZY! It looks like he will be an energetic one! (not too suprizing looking at his parents.....)

The picture above was taken at 10 weeks. His little hand is covering up his eye. It's crazy how much it looks just like a baby and is only 10 weeks! I am constantly amazed at God's work. :)

Welcome Baby Strawn! :)

We are happy to announce that there will soon be another Strawn! :) Well..not too soon, not until August 26th (or anytime around there). But we can't WAIT! :)

We got to hear the heart beat today, and that was simply amazing! To realize that there is a little person growing inside should make you say nothing else but "PRAISE THE LORD!"

This really is a miracle.

We will keep you posted on updates as we get them! But so far I am feeling great!! Just needing a little extra sleep! :)

My cute nieces!

I just had to show you all how cute my nieces are!! :)

I am a pretty lucky auntie!!

Abigail - 6 months

Calli - 18 months

Judah - 6 months

HALLOWEEN FUN!

Sorry it took so long to post these!!

The party was so much fun! We can't wait intill next year. I painted a giant piece of wood so that all of our guests would have a fun place to tkae their picture!

We have suffered a great loss on the farm...

Today we mourn the death of dear chicken friend, Bater. She was found last night dead after falling in our swimming pool. She has no problem swimming, the water was just too cold and chickens don't do well when they are wet and cold. She was one of our favorite chickens, and would always greet us at the door when we came to feed them. Poor little Bater will be missed....it's a good thing my sweet husband bought me so many chickens to keep me company! I still have 11 more to play with....they just won't be playing outside without me anymore...

this is a picture of Bater as a baby helping ryan do some electrical work :) What a GREAT chicken!!
