Hopeful Hoopers

  We were told the week of Christmas that we were having a girl but we didn't announce it since we were told Owen was a girl at 16 weeks. Today we went to the baby Doctor for my twenty week check-up and it was confirmed... We are having a GIRL!! Everything is going great & she weighs 15 ounces. Even before I knew I was pregnant Owen has said he was getting a sister, as soon as it was confirmed she was a girl Owen said " Aw! I wanted a brother!" Seriously? Lol!! We are all so excited- now if only we can come up with a name!

This pregnancy has flown by... Somehow I am already at twenty weeks. Everything has been so different this time around than when I was pregnant with Owen. First three months with Owen I had morning sickness, I have had ZERO morning sickness with this baby. (Praise God!) I had tons of cravings with Owen, I have had hardly any with this baby. Owen was the best baby and an easy delivery, does this mean baby Hooper will be even better and easier? We find out what Baby Hooper is going to be one week from today. I'm so excited to find out that way we can start the nursery. Since before I even knew we were expecting Owen told us and everyone he was getting a little sister, although I don't think he will mind getting a brother. Whatever baby Hooper is we will be excited- Lord knows we have enough trucks, tractors, and boy toys for another boy. 

This year has flown by... I never start Christmas shopping until after Owen's birthday (Nov 15th) since we always throw him a big birthday party. This year I didn't start shopping til Black Friday. I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy brain or what but this year Christmas snuck up on me- We didn't get any Christmas pictures made, didn't send out any Christmas cards, nothing!  I wanted this to be a big Christmas for Owen since it was his last one as an only child. Although we did slack on a couple things this year, Owen said this was the best Christmas ever!! And he was right! I don't think there was one thing that any of us wanted that we didn't get.
