It's A GIRL

So surprise, no boy for Andrew, he really isn't that disappointed though. WE are having a GIRL! yea! We already have a name for her, one we have actually liked since we got married and for me even before that. Her name will be Rebecca Lynn Eddington, named after a few great people. I can feel her kicking now and she is very active. It was fun to see her on the ultrasound because she was kicking more than either of our other two kids. she was moving around so much I am surprised there isn't more than one, there were so many appendages moving everywhere. (but we are just having one) For a moment we thought we might be having two, because my HCG count was so high. So all is well in Eddington land, Hey Happy New Year!

Boys playing House

Andrew is leaning slightly toward the hopes of this next baby being a boy, so that Breven will grow up to be manly. You know and not grow taking after his sister in barbies, tea, playing house and etc. I had to smile at the thought today because as I was cooking dinner I hear Kyla and Brev in the play room playing house. Kyla's Baby is crying and I hear her explaining to Breven that he/she/it need to be held, rocked, kissed and etc. Then I hear Breven pretending to cry for his baby and smile because I know if Andrew heard this he would begin his correction process immediately. I had to take a peek to see what "baby" Breven had chosen. As I looked into the room Breven holds up what he is rocking. It is a car he is holding, rocking and having it pretend to cry. He then explains "It crashed into a wall, Mommy." I laugh because I can see in my mind exactly how it has been crashed, run over, flipped, stepped on, fallen off great heights, and basically destroyed, (I have seen him do it before). And I suppose boy or girl, if I was his car, I would cry too.

You see Boys can play house too.

UGH pregnancy should be easier!

Well we are about 16 weeks along now, or four months, and I am still not feeling too well. I am still hoping to get back to my starting weight since during my third month I lost a total of 15 lbs. in a little over a week. Morning sickness and me just don't get along. With my weight going up and down i still have about 10 lbs to gain back right now to get to my starting weight. I have a feeling I will still be sick for a while.
But life goes on. Kyla is excited for her first dance recital! I wonder how she will do. She isn't really the type to just dance around if people are watching. But she loves to dance, even in the same room, if people just don't look at her. So we watch from the corner of our eyes. She loves dance and is doing well in school. (in some areas) She really is great at writing and coloring. and she loves the interacting with her friends. Her favorite compliment is when you tell her she is a good big sister and she will be a great big sister to her new baby. She is soooooo excited to have her new playmate! And doesn't seem to mind that it will take a while.
Breven is such a little boy, the difference between the two is amazing. He had a great saying now, "hey,I an idea, howbout maybr we can .............., is that a good idea?" And you have to answer or else he will keep repeating it until you respond.
Andrew's girls are of corse winning. They just won state meet!
sorry long post will write more later

200 lbs of apples

So I know I have told you about my other baby. Well yesterday it was my turn to can with my partner. We ended up with 200 lbs of apples to make into apple sauce. We ended up makeing over 100 jars of apple sauce. We started at 9:00 a.m. and ended about 8:30 p.m. But we got it all done in one day! I wasn't looking forward to setting up and cleaning up more than once. So I was glad that we didn't have to. But now i'm done for a while.

Love the Eddingtons

Is it HALLOWEEN yet?

how about now?

That is the question that Kyla is asking every night. Some time ago she heard about Halloween and has been asking for a couple months, I think, if it is Halloween. She has it all planned, She is going to be snow white for Halloween, and Breven is going to be a "scary crow" She has decided who is going to come, like grandma's and grandpa's and Aunt Kate, and Aunt Brie...who gets what bags, what everyone is going to wear ( I think that we are going to have 5 princesses so far) and what houses we are going to and who is going to get the most candy. Every night for the past week she is convinced that because it is dark, it is apparently time to go trick-of-treating. We are having a hard time explaining to her that it isn't for a couple weeks yet.

Breven is quite a hoot. We love playing hide and go seek with him, he is learning to count by having to count with me before we go seek. He is actually counting and finding by himself now, and counts up to I think 15. We like to add a number once he gets good at what he is currently counting to. But the funnest part is where he tries to hide. I am surprised at some of the places he can fit and sometimes i would have a hard time finding him if he didn't giggle so much. Some of the places i have found him are,
On the shelves of the pantry
Under the sinks
in the cupboards
Under a laundry basket
In an empty box
in a drawer
under our end tables
under our chairs
under the beds
in a suite case
in my canning stock pot
But my favorite thing is the toy box Kyla has. it looks like a treasure box for pirates and he hid in there once and closed the lid.

So if anyone one want to come play hide and seek with us come on over, it is our favorite game.

lost camera

Well we (I) lost our camera. I am so sad because we are loosing some candid moments of our kids. They do something funny and I think to myself, Oh i have to go get the camera, but sadly we can't find ours. We have been missing our camera since the girls weekend. So if anybody sees it please holler out and let me know. It is a video/picture camera with the screen that opend up on the side. It also probably has pictures of us inside.
