{1/2 way there}

I realized this weekend that I am already 1/2 way done with this pregnancy - kinda flew by! I was 19 weeks on Sunday and the c-section will be sometime after 38 weeks - I sure hope we are ready to do this for a fourth time! Our sonogram will be Monday afternoon, but, sorry, we will NOT be finding out (for a fourth time). Just don't think that's how it's suppose to be. I love surprises and what better surprise than to wait til it actually pops out? So, Austin will just have to be patient (yeah right) until he finds out if he gets his brotherly wish. I've been feeling great - way better than I did in the first trimester. I've definitely got a belly on me too.
We had a great weekend. Some friends came in town over the weekend from St. Louis - one of Shawn's old fraternity brothers. They have 3 adorable kids around the same ages as ours and the kids just had a blast. Austin has asked about 100 times when we can go to St. Louis. Luckily it is in our plans to head that way sometime sooner than later. We had a big BBQ with a bunch of Shawn's fraternity brothers on Saturday night - tried out our new deck and patio and it was awesome. The weather couldn't have been better - especially in August. It was a crazy weekend and we were all exhausted by the end of it. We took the kids and my mom to a "mr. stinky feet" concert Sunday night. He's one of the kids favorite singers. The kids had a blast singing and dancing - Gabriella being the one with the most hip moves. Just hilarious.
Austin starts school in 16 days!!!!!!!!!! He is sooo excited and asks me everyday if it is the day he gets to go to school. I can't imagine how much fun he is going to have - I just hope he stays out of trouble and doesn't talk too much. I dread the day his teacher says, "Mrs. Turner, could you stay here for just a minute - I want to talk to you in private." Oh, the things that are to come.
Hope you are having the time of your life!
