Baby Kempton 7lbs 5oz, 19 3/4 inches

Baby Shower Time!

My sweet friends threw me a birthday shower. It was a nice surprise as I was not expecting one since I am having another boy. This was actually my second one for this baby. My first shower was a joint shower, shared by pregnant buddies Katie and Rochelle, thrown by our awesome friends, but unfortunately we forgot our camera that time. We got some way cute clothes which is super nice since all we had for the baby till then was Hunter's hand-me-downs. I am excited to put him in his very own outfits. We got a whole bunch of other cute stuff too and I want to thank all our friends and family for their kindness and their gifts. We love you all and can't wait to show off our new little boy.

P.S. Yes I am aware of how much weight I have gained. That's why I added a picture of me, top right, running in my first triathlon when Hunter was 10 months old. It makes me feel optimistic.

Halloween and Birthday fun!

Hunter loves sponge bob so of course that is what he wanted to be for halloween! Ty really wanted to find an adult patrick, sponge bob's starfish friend, costume but to no avail. It was quite the eventful day for Hunter. He got to go trick or treating three time!! First at Ty's office, then with Grandpa Knight, and later that night with some friends in our neighborhood. Needless to say he got a ton of candy and of course Tyler and I have eaten most of it.

Tyler and I don't always dress up but Hunter really wanted us to this year. He was especially interested in witches this halloween so I humored him. In this picture Ty is actually wearing two costumes: the mask we got him and the bacon costume his friend at work brought him. His friend had an egg costume so together they were bacon and eggs. Pretty cutsie. They won honorable mention at their office costume contest.

We helped Hunter carve his pumpkin this year as he is still too young to be trusted with sharp objects. He said he wanted the eyes to be circles, a triangle nose, and no teeth. I did the best I could with the circles but I guess they look more like ovals. I hope that doesn't stick with him all through his life, the confusion between circles and ovals because his mom sucks at carving.

I know this is not in order as halloween is actually after Hunter's birthday but I accidently downloaded it this way. Anyway this is Hunter about to blow out his candles for his fourth birthday. It's pretty crazy to me that he is already four. Even though he looks like he is about six. We had a lot of fun. We just did a little party at our apartment with some family, friends, and neighbors. I should have taken a picture of his room after all his friends had gone home. It was amazingly disasterous. He has friends over all the time but I had never seen it such a mess. I am not kidding every inch of his carpet was covered in toys. But we didn't mind it just meant they had a good time.

Hunter chose "Curious George" as his birthday theme. If you look real close you can see three little Curious George figures on top of the cake. Those two have a lot in common.

The baby is doing well growing in the 65th percentile. My doctor thinks this one will be about a pound and a half bigger than Hunter was. So we are thankful that he is doing so well. I am about 34 weeks along now so about six weeks left to go. I am hoping he will be a little early like Hunter was but my doctor says to not count on it. We are still up in the air about his name. We thought we had decided but I am still not sure. I think I will make a final decision once I actually see him. We are so excited!! It will be nice to have another baby. Hunter is excited too which I am thankful for. I am hoping that means that he won't have much trouble with being jealous. I think he will just be happy to have his own little baby brother.

Getting There!!

I just wanted to add some more pictures of
my growing belly! We are getting so excited!!
Can't wait to have another sweet little boy.

Look at those handsome boys!

Hunter holding his "ketchup and mustard buggy" (named it himself) he made it for a library contest.

Below: Ty found this bug outside one night on our porch. He was way excited. We don't know what it's called but it was huge. We have been getting books from the library for Hunter to learn about bugs. It's been fun catching all kinds in this jar throughout the summer.



My pregnant belly at about four months. It's bigger now going on five and 1/2 months.


One day out of no where I found Hunter in my bed with my glasses on pretending to read a book. (the book was upside down). I laughed so hard I almost cried. (That's Taina with him in the background).

Video above: Ty and Hunter started out playing "three little monkeys jumping on the bed" then it just turned into a jam session. Pretty cute. Hunter's favorite instrument so far are the drums. With another boy on the way Ty figures he will have a complete band: drums, bass, and guitar.

August 2008

We are about five and a half months pregnant now and things are going pretty well. It's another boy and we are way excited!! He is due december twentieth. The best christmas present ever because with my health problems we did not know if I would be able to have anymore kids. It has been a high risk pregnancy and a little stressful. Most likely this will be my last pregnancy. We feel VERY blessed to have him.

Tyler has been studying a ton lately preparing for the PCAT. One more week left! We should know by this time next year where he will be going to pharmacy school. It's a big step for our family and we can't wait!

Hunter is going to be four this coming October. He is so fun we love that little dude so much. He is starting to get interested in playing the drums and the guitar, especially the drums, so Ty and him have little jam sessions together. It's so cute. I need to take some pictures and post them here for you to see.

The Knights

Still trying to get this blog stuff figured out so bear with me. Nothing much new to report. All is well. I will come back with something more fun later.
