Nashville

A few weeks ago Clark and I got to travel to Tennessee for a quick get away. For those of you who don't know, our family is moving there in September! We sold our McDonald stores in Florida and bought a bigger patch in Nashville! Clark's whole family will be coming too! 

We are fortunate enough to be able to build homes in TN. We will be living across the street from Clark's brother and one house down from his sister. How fun! The cousins will love being so close together. We should be able to move into our homes by Christmas! 

33 weeks

And we have made it to 33 weeks (August 1st). I'm growing bigger and bigger each day now and it is getting a little uncomfortable now. I went to a doctors appointment and was able to get a picture of our baby girl! She sure has some cute features. It looks like she will have my nose! We can't wait to meet her!

Beckham Finds His Nose

This little guy is working on learning his body parts! He knows where his head and teeth are. Looks like he knows where his nose is! Funny kid! Whatever works right??

Lakeside 2013

This year I went up to Marble head, Ohio to visit my family at Lakeside! Every year my dad's side of the family rents a house for a week and we enjoy the fun family time and activities Lakeside offers.

Clark decided to just let me go this year and he would keep the kids for a week! Score! I haven't been back in 4 years and with my grandparent's health not doing so well I needed to make sure I went this time.

Let's just say it was nice only having to think about ME! I could wake up when I wanted and eat when I wanted and go ANYWHERE I wanted at ANY time!!

We enjoyed some shuffle boarding. Must I say that I FINALLY got a puck in the 10 point spot like 3 times!

Yummy caramel popcorn at the Whistle Stop

Family picture before leaving to come home! 4 generations are shown here!

I am so grateful I was able to go this year! Thanks a bunch to Clark!

28 weeks

And she is getting bigger...and well I am too... :)

I passed my glucose test and got a darn shot in my bum because I have a negative blood type. All in all this pregnancy is going just fine! Some days I just don't understand how our stomachs can just GROW and STRETCH. I feel like popping all the time!

24 weeks

These weeks seem to fly by now. I can't believe I am over half way there! Nothing really has changed over the last few weeks except I am having braxton hicks and getting bigger. It has been interesting to see the differences with carrying one baby versus two. There hasn't been too many differences except I can't fit into all my maternity clothes yet. Guess my big belly last time was a little too big!

No names have been finalized for this baby girl yet. I have a few I have liked but Clark seems to think they are all silly. 

We were watching a friend's baby here the other day and Brooklyn was so gentle and loving and Beckham would just laugh. I really hope this is a good indication of what is to come!

Mother's Day 2013

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year. It started out with Clark waking up with the kids and making some delicious German pancakes! YUM! Clark was even able to ride with us to church since there were no early church  meetings!

Each mom was given a pretty rose and we enjoyed listening to the kids sing a Mother's Day song.

Clark let me get a nap in after church before we headed over to his sisters for yummy Hawaiian haystacks.

I  received a pretty hand stamped bracelet I wanted! Over all it was a wonderful day and I feel so blessed to be a mother to Beckham and Brooklyn. They are such a joy and pleasure to be around. They even teach me a few things  :)

I am also grateful for my mother who has always been there for me. She has taught me how to love be kind and patient. She has been a wonderful example to me through my life and she is a great Nana to our kids. 

Mother's Day from Lisa Leonard

21 weeks

Today was my 20 week appointment with the specialist to check out the baby! I was lucky enough to get someone training a new person so I was able to get a 4D picture!

She is still a GIRL and they said everything looks fine! 10 fingers and 10 toes! 

She looks just like Brooklyn did at this stage. She is going to be such a sweet pretty baby.

I have been feeling fine but sleeping has been a little difficult at night. I get so tired but by the time I get in bed I am awake for what seems like FOREVER. The tummy is getting bigger and my appetite is pretty normal! I wonder if I will gain more weight towards the end. I mean I know I will but I wonder how much and how sudden.

I go back to the specialist in 2 weeks because they couldn't get a great picture of the heart. I can't wait until September! Hopefully we can find a new before then!
