I know it's been a while since my last blog and a lot has happened since then too! My family has moved to a new place. We have moved an hour away from where we used to live in Hopewell, to beautiful Williamsburg Va! I was worried about how the kids would take to a new place, a new town, and being so far away from our extended families.
Suprisingly, they took to our new home very well. They really enjoy the playground outside our apartment and my husband especially enjoys the greatly shortened drive to work. He gets more sleep and we see him a lot more now since he doesn't have to drive a whole hour one way to get to and from work.
On top of our new move and adjusting to the new area, we just discovered that we are having baby number 4. At this moment, I am about 5 weeks and 5 days along and due around December 28th. I am hoping that we have a little girl so Hayli can have a little sister. She has been asking for a baby sister for a long time, but doesn't know about this baby yet. I am hoping and praying that it is a girl for her. Also, I would love for Lance to experience a baby girl also being that he wasn't there when Hayli was a baby.
I have even picked out the names for a boy and a girl. If we have a girl, her name will be Allee Rae Coker. Her first name comes from a combination of Lee Alan which was my brother"s (who passed away) name. Rae is Lance's mom's middle name and he wanted to have that as his girl's middle name. If we have a boy, his name will be Aiden Lee Coker. Aiden is just a name that both Lance and I like and Lee of course is my brother's name again.
My goal is to really enjoy this pregnancy, exercise safely, and eat better so I can in turn feel better and have more energy! I am trying to stay away from eating a lot of greasy and fatty foods. Sweets too. I tend to love my sweets when I am pregnant and that doesn't help with keeping weight gain at a minimum. I am determined to keep busy so I am not sitting around the house doing nothing all day everyday.
While we are excited about this baby, it is also our last! We had decided that 4 would be the cut off for us and is plenty to handle. I am kinda glad we are having our last one this soon. I wanted to be done having kids by the time I turned 30 so we would still be young when the kids were in highschool that we can enjoy them and be involved in everything while they are growing up and still be young enough to enjoy ourselves once the kids are grown and out of the house.
These are the big things that have happened since the last blog I wrote!
