Thursday Three

I realized that if I am going to continue posting on the blog I need to disclose some information otherwise people are just going to think I am getting really really fat in my pictures!!

Blake is going to have a baby brother this fall. We are beyond excited. It has been a long and somewhat painful process to get here but for now we are glad all of that is behind us.

I won't give all the details here but would really like to say thank you to our friends and especially our families for helping us get here. The last two years have been full of lots of emotions, loss, needles, doctor visits, tears (both happy and sad), and now such happiness and gratitude as we wait for the birth of a new baby.

Waiting for baby number 2 was much harder for me than waiting for Blake. Watching Blake get bigger and reach milestones was really difficult. I almost didn't enjoy them because all I could think was that he would be so old by the time he got a sibling. Lucky for me Blake decided he would hold off on potty training so he wouldn't get too big too fast. He is so good to me.

With that said, to make this a true Thursday three here are three things about this pregnancy:
1. Feeling your baby move is so fun. Sometimes it is a little creepy and uncomfortable but I really love it.
2. Blake also thinks he is pregnant. He doesn't believe me when I say only ladies have babies.
3. We will never be able to come up with a name for this baby. My nephew came up with Rocket and Blake has decided that is the perfect name. So unless Matt and I get serious, Rocket it is!

wonderful news!!! Blake will be such a cute big brother, and I'm glad that things have worked out despite the long road to get here. Congratulations to you all! :)

Megan! What exciting news! Congratulations. If you want help with names, just let me know. If you are familiar with the show "Nine by Design" on Bravo, you can get inspiration from them, too. With such names as Five and Breaker you can't go wrong!

Cara said...

Congratulations! We had heard whispers of this when we saw Nate and Missy. I am so excited for you guys!

I am so happy for you! I'm also sad that it has been a long and difficult process. I hope little Rocket's birth makes everything worth it. I agree with you about feeling the baby squirm. So fun.

It's Been a Day! said...

I can't believe Paiger is out of the running. I thought Blake and I were so close! Tell Blake he can name his baby Rocket!! I am SO happy for you. I'm excited to have another nephew so buy for!!

Tell Blake to wait until South Carolina. He'll not only get potty trained, but Ty can teach him a few jedi moves.

I'm so excited to meet little Rocket when he makes his appearance! You can take a page out of our book and start looking at a map for names - SEATAC could be a fun one! Hope you're feeling great, enjoy those baby movements.

Congratulations you guys! That is wonderful news. I am getting ready to have a boy in a week and we still don't have a name picked out. I like Rocket. It's got a nice ring to it. Luke wants to name our baby 'Cool Breeze'. I won't be offended if you decide to use that.

I'm so happy you FINALLY posted about it! I'm thrilled for you and it was fun to swap prego war stories.

ps- I chuckled that you said it's sometimes "creepy" feeling the baby move.

aniC said...

Wait...what's this talk about South Carolina??? (Sorry, not to take away from the fabulous baby news!)

I think Rocket will work as long as he becomes a professional football or basketball player, I'm so happy for you guys! And here comes Rocket M. tearing down the field...

jamie said...

we're SO excited for you.

Jessica said...

Remember when I cried when you told me you were pregnant? Yeah, it's not like it was MY exciting news or something. Oh well, at least you still decided to stay my friend.

You think feeling your baby move is creepy sometimes? Silly girl :)

meredith said...

Eric read this and asked if rocket would really be that bad of a name. So if you don't take, I guess we will for our first boy. What I am trying to say is....take it!

Laura said...

I LOVE this post and it makes me so happy for you, Matt, Blake and Rocket. I just hope I get to meet Rocket sooner than later. :)

Jennifer said...

So happy for you guys!! What a wonderful blessing in your lives. Hope we get to see you guys soon!

Janel said...

What WONDERFUL news! I am soo excited for you and your family. Rocket is going to be a lucky little fella to be part your fam.

Liz said...

Megan I am so happy for you! Don't worry about Blake being to old when this baby is born. I am the oldest and my mom couldn't get pregnant again for five years after me. {then she had four within three years!} But, I love my little sister and could care less that she is so much younger than me. I'm sure Blake will be a great big brother, and two boys is really fun. I hope four boys will be just as fun, cause give me two weeks and that's what I'll have!

The Cook Fam said...

Megan! I just found your blog!! Look how stinkin' creative you are!

I actually think Rocket Mullins has a GREAT ring to it! I love it! :)

We are so happy for you and can't wait to meet your new little buy.
