A Busy May and Our Gender Reveal!

I know I always say this, but I really am NOT the best as keeping up with my blog. I post so much on my Instagram that I just forget to document anything here. Well, this post is a playing- catch -up -type of post from May. It didn't feel like May was too busy until I started going through some of my Instagram photos- I almost forgot about all the stuff we did!

First of all, May 1st my little man turned 4! Time has just flown! I can't believe my little boy is growing so fast! We had a nice little party with close family and friends. It was a combo Mario and Lego theme- two of his fave things right now!

The weekend following his birthday, we took Elisha to Legoland! It was really cool and Elisha had a blast! Of course we met up with my cousin and her family and they came with us!

We got to watch a cool 4D Lego show. We actually got sprayed with water during water scenes and could feel fans blowing on us during windy scenes. The kiddos LOVED it!

Matty had a great time too!

Lego replica of KC-really neat!

Lego Wizard of Oz was awesome!

Of course you can't leave Crown Center without stopping at Sheridan's for some yummy custard:)

 Later that evening after Legoland we attended a Royals game! I love going to baseball games and the Royals actually won!!

It was a bit chilly, but a super good time!

The kids loved hanging with Slugger:)

Our friends Maerissa and Micah paid us a visit one weekend too!

 Last week my cousin's kids came to stay for the week! They are some of Elisha's most favorite people on earth. He just loves playing with these kids, so he was ecstatic to have them stay over for a few days!

So May was pretty busy and fun for us, except for all the rain. I could have done without so much of that. And the one day it snowed-that was weird. It's June now! I'm looking forward to warmth and sunshine!
Also, I just recently reached my 20th week of pregnancy with baby Arthaud #2! Half way mark! I'm starting to feel little kicks and flutters--my absolute favorite part of pregnancy! I'm glad that the morning sickness and most of the fatigue has subsided. I'm thankful for another normal and healthy pregnancy thus far. I am just so excited about our growing family. I just feel so blessed and overjoyed to have another little person to love on.

Today was my 20 week check up plus our anatomy scan ultrasound! So, this was the scan where they can tell us what gender our baby is. Matt and I had decided that we wanted to know what we were having. We had found out with Elisha too. We decided that if it was a girl this time, then maybe we won't mind being surprised with our third child (Lord willing we have a third) since we will have a stash of boy stuff and girl stuff by then. Well, here is what we found out!:

We still don't know!!! The little person had it's legs crossed. Even after the ultrasound tech was finished we gave it about half and hour, drank some sweet tea and had my OB take a look and the baby was even more pretzled up with the umbilical cord between it's legs! SO, we have decided that if we happen to find out next month, then we find out, and if we don't, we don't! In fact the surprise thing is kind of sounding more and more appealing. I think I am just going to pull out a few of the newborn things Elisha had that were more gender neutral and just be ready to go shopping if we need to after our little bundle arrives. I know I am going to be super thrilled with whatever the Lord gives us anyway!
