It's been a long time since I've blogged, but not a whole lot has gone on. We've been focusing a lot on eachother and Beckham before Jax gets here and it gets a little chaotic :)
I'm excited to be a mom of two boys. I've had a lot of anxiety up until this past week. I think that no matter what, I'll get through it and when it comes right down to it I am the luckiest girl in the world. I've got a wonderful husband who loves me (yes, we still have movie nights and cuddle!) and two little guys who are all mine!
Beckham has started pulling himself up lately and walking along the couch a little. I can't believe he is almost one... it's crazy how fast time goes. I remember my parents telling me that when I had kids someday time would fly by. I think I just rolled my eyes at them but how true it is.
Jax is so ready to come out. He kicks me all the time trying to get out, I have constant contractions and my back is killing me! If he's not ready, he better get ready quick cause I am ready!
It's funny, I've never had cravings but I cannot get enough walnuts. YES walnuts! I eat probably a little package a day (ok... not so little, but not one of the huge ones).
I'm excited to see my family! Mom and Trinity are getting here on the fifth and the boys on the tenth. The ninth is Jared's birthday (yay!) and the fourteenth is Beckham's first birthday and my baby brother heads to the MTC for his mission! I'm so proud of him!
Again, how blessed am I? I am THE luckiest.

Love my hubby!
On Pinterest yesterday (yes, I'm addicted) I found a 30 day marriage challenge! I love this idea... why can't I try to be a better wife to Jaredevery day?
Day 1 was supposed ask him if there was anything I could help him with that day. ShaZAM I did it and he said he didn't have anything for me to do... so I cleaned the house while he was on a bike ride. He noticed :)
Day 2 (today) is to go a whole day without correcting him. I think I'm a little hard to be married to sometimes becuase I don't even realize it when i correct him until after I've done it, and most of the time it's little things that don't matter! How annoying is that? He doesn't say anything to me, but I find that I'm kicking myself for it every time. Today I will NOT correct my husband and I'll continue to do my best to not do that.
P.S. if you talk to Jared and you're reading this PLEASE do not tell him about my little challenge, that would completely defeat the purpose.
Beckham and Jared went out this afternoon so that I could do some homework. The alone time was nice but the best part was seeing them all happy when they got home. They love their daddy/son time!
Brayson has been keeping me up at night with his constant kicking, hiccuping and moving (don't worry buddy, you'll be out of that little space soon!). It's fun being pregnant, but sometimes it stinks. Like when your feet and hands get swollen, streach marks, when you're sweating and everyone else is comfortable and just being the size of a whale in general kind of stinks. I can't wait to have my little Brayson, not have a belly and be able to buy normal clothes! I have gained a serious amount of poundage over the last two babies and I think I'll be a far cry from ever being 125 again (my pre-Beckham weight) but I think I'll be able to bounce back to a happy weight in a fewyears months... hopefully. :)
It looks like our C-Section date is Monday, November 5, but we're going to try and get it moved to November 3 because Jared has school on Tuesday and I know he will not want to leave our little family for the first few days... he's definitely attached to our little boys. How lucky they are to have such a great daddy!

RSV... again.
This is time number 3 now! Poor kid... I feel so bad. There is ONE good thing that came out of it though- my baby said "Mama" and was talking to me! He was calling for me!
Saying prayers for my little boy.

Maryland Trip
Beckham and I were lucky enough to go to Maryland on September 1-13 to spend some time with my family out there! It was so fun :) We did so many fun things, including a visit to the pentagon, dinners at my favorite places, dance parties and a trip to the National Zoo!
When we first got there Beckham was excited (and a little confused) to see his family! He loved his grandma's braces and snuggled with his grandpa for a good five minutes... if you know this kid you know this is SO out of the ordinary and it was SO cute!
We loved just hanging out at the house and spent much time dancing, watching Rio, swinging in the hammock, playing on the floor with his aunt and uncles and napping *swoon*. I was able to take a nap pretty much whenever I wanted and that was pure joy!
On September 10, Beckham said his first word! He's babbled "dada" for months now but he actually waved and said "HI!" It was so cute :)
On September 11, we went to the Pentagon to visit Dad. It was so neat going inside. My favorite part was being in the part of the building where the plane hit. Right at the impact point there is a room dedicated to those whose lives were lost.
We were definitely sad to go, but we'll see them in November. There will be so many exciting things happening around that time!! Our baby will be born, Jared will turn 29, Beckham will turn 1 (!!!!) and my little brother will be off on his mission to Chile!

Bad Blogger Award goes to...
Me!
Being a mommy, wife and all around awesome (haha just kidding) is tougher than I thought. Honestly, a year ago I thought I was going to be super mom with a super awesome blog, cook an amazing meal every night and be able to do my hair every day. Fail!
But on the other hand, I was probably thinking I'd only have one baby (no bump), a hubby that was working all of the time and long hair. Look how blessed I am! I have TWO babies (hi Beckham and Brayden! I love you!), a husband that is home all the time and a super easy hair-do :)
We've got a little less than three months til Jax Brayden will be here! We're still thinking about Jax, not in love with it... who knows? Maybe we'll look at him and think he looks like a Jax :)
Beckham has just started army crawling this week, it's so cute! And slightly annoying. It's so much harder getting things out of his reach and he gets frustrated pretty easily. Lisa said she had a hard time with Emmalee at this age so maybe it's normal.
I smell a diaper... dooty calls! More later :)

Thankful
Today has given me a few reasons to look at my life and be so grateful.
When I woke up I got the news of a tragedy that took place in Colorado at a movie theatre. Many people were killed and injured and I've been in tears watching the news all day. I'm so thankful for my family and that we're all safe. My baby boys, husband and our extended family... I can't imagine life without a single person.
We just moved into our new apartment this past Saturday. It's exciting seeing our lives change. Jared is about to graduate and get a job, we're in a new (bigger and better) apartment, we've got a baby boy who we love so much and one on the way! Two years ago I moved here and that's the best decision I've ever made. I'm grateful for where life has brought me.

Baby boy or girl?
Last night I went to sleep thinking I was having a girl... this morning I woke up and it was amazing to me the first thing I thought (almost as a revalation) was "it's a boy". I knew without a doubt our baby was a boy. Today we found out we're having a sweet BOY! Yay :) My Aunt Megan watched Beckham so Jared and I could experience this together and it was so fun. Afterwards we went to Baskin Robins for ice cream (what? The baby wanted it!) Our name for him was Jay Brantley but now we've fallen in love with Jax Brayden! My little Jax, I love you!
