Oh September

 I think I was trying to lure TJ home from studying, so I took a picture of the dinner that was ready and waiting at home for him. 

Found these sneaky ones with my phone behind the chair watching Netflix.

We sent Daddy a picture...

this is what he sent back! No, I do not like TJ's beard!

Just a couple crazy kids being cute...

Just a little cheese triangle dipped in yogurt, yum!

This cute girl made me an aunt for the first time 8 years ago. My parent got to be with her to celebrate her birthday and baptism. My mom sent me these cute pictures. So proud of this amazing little girl and her good decisions. I'm so glad my kids have her to look up to.

Ledgie...doing his thing.

And my sweet Coey.

YW self defense night. Don't know where we found this wig but thought Nichole made a pretty good creeper in it.

My cute neighbor Alexis

On September 18th we went to find out the sex of baby Bunnell #3. We thought it would be fun to take Cohen with us since he kind of understood what was happening. He thought we were going to actually see the baby though and bring him/her home. Nope, sorry kid. When he saw baby not the screen he just kept saying, "it looks like a monster, not a baby!" He asking me when I was going to spit the baby out? If only it were that simple Co. We had to tell him that we had to wait till after Christmas then it would be almost time for our baby to come. 

When they told us we were having a girl we were in  shock. I had no idea which it was but I was definitely leaning towards boy, I think mostly because I didn't want to be disappointed if it was another boy. I was immediately overwhelmed though, which is something I totally didn't expect. I had boys, I had all it down, I knew what to do with boys and how to handle them. In a lot of ways I felt like I was starting over with getting a girl. We were so excited though and the whole rest of the time at the doctor and the way home kept saying how we couldn't believe it. On the way home we stopped at Hyvee to get a pink balloon bouquet to tie to our front porch railing so all of our neighbors could see our exciting news. I think I thought it was super clever, but everyone else seemed confused by why we had an it's a girl balloon bouquet. Oh well. It mad a cute picture to send family though to announce our fun news!

That weekend my friend Lisa came over and we started to make a few bows and headbands, which got me really excited for our sweet little girl. Ledgie was sweet enough to model one of the bows/headbands for me!

Pregnancy #3 up to this point was definitely my easiest pregnancy yet. I kept running and made it to my goal of running till I was 20 weeks pregnant. I should have set a higher goal, cause I quit as soon as I hit it! I got queasy during the day but as long as I snacked constantly I felt pretty darn good. Around the 12 week mark I started to have some pain from my umbilical hernia. I backed off on running a little bit and tried to eat healthier and it subsided and it really never bothered me the rest of the pregnancy, thank goodness. At 20 weeks I had gained a little over 10 pounds. With Cohen I threw up every morning from 7 weeks to 14 weeks. With Ledger I had good days where I didn't throw up at all, and bad days where I threw up a lot. I even threw up the day we found out he was a boy, so it seemed like I was sick a lot longer with him. And with baby girl, no throwing up! I think the running actually helped a lot with that. I would feel so sick, but after a run I always felt so good.
