Kendry {37 1/2 Weeks}


I'm posting this after Kendry is here.  I typed this up, but didn't get a picture and so I didn't post it and then we got induced (story to come...), so I never got it posted.  Here it is, my LAST baby bump weekly update...no picture, but this was written just days before he was born.

How far along? 37 1/2 weeks. I canNOT believe we are so close!
Total weight gain: 15 lbs. 
Maternity clothes? Of course, but I'm sooo ready to be in normal clothes again.  I'm officially over my maternity clothes ;)
Stretch marks? No...we'll see how these next few weeks go when my belly really gets stretched.

Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good. I toss + turn a lot, but other than that I'm getting a good 7-8 hrs. of sleep at night. 
Miss Anything? I miss having no back pain and I miss being able to move easier than I do now. But it's just a few weeks (if that!), so I'll be fine. 
Movement: Oh he's all over the place and it's WILD. He makes my belly into the weirdest shapes. Soaking it all in as it's my last time feeling these movements
Food cravings: Nothing really!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: Not yet.
Symptoms: Besides this big ole belly? Just the same old back pain, but other than that I'm feeling good!
Gender: BOY
Belly Button in or out? Officially out :) 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. Crazy to think we'll have another baby SO SOON, but I am so ready to meet him.
Looking forward to: The high from the delivery! Is that weird? haha :) I really can't wait to have him here and see his sweet little face and snuggle him. What a ride this pregnancy has been.  It's going to be so fun to add this sweet little baby boy to our family.  Thank you Lord!

Kendry {36 Weeks}



How far along? 36 Weeks.  Also, he looks just soooo much like his brothers in this pic!!! ahhh I can't wait to squeeze him. 
Total weight gain: 15 lbs. My doctor wants me to gain 5 more lbs in hopes that it'll get Kendry to gain a little weight. So she has me eating all the protein I can!
Maternity clothes? Yep! I'm so ready for all of my regular clothes, especially now that its been warmer and I just miss jean shorts and a tee!
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good still. I haven't spent as much time napping the past two weeks...I think my my "nesting" has caused me to do a lot more work and a lot less sleep.  As of right now it's 11:15pm on Saturday night and here I am doing this...because I want to make sure I document it! But I'm tired haha. 

Miss Anything? My regular clothes, no back pain and sangria.  We went to dinner tonight and some of Nate's aunts had sangria and Nate said "there's not a lot of alcohol that Naomi misses when she's pregnant...but if there's one, it's probably sangria".  So they told me it was terrible but I know better than that. 
Movement: He's still active! Rolling, pushing, shoving and just swimming all over :)  
Food cravings: Nothing right now. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: I can definitely tell this pregnancy has been the hardest on my body.  While I'm still really fortunate that I feel good 90% of my day, by the end of the day I am so tired and my back hurts.  Other than the tiredness and my back, it's really been good so I don't have much to complain about!
Gender: BOY
Belly Button in or out? Officially out :) 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  I will admit to being a bit more irritable the last week or so, and Nate would probably agree....so would Jacoby and Maddox! ha!
Looking forward to: We have another BPP on Monday and they are doing a weight check, so we should know what his size is looking.  I'm praying for a good weight check and that he continues to pass his tests 8/8.  As of right now, my doctor is thinking I will be induced at 38 weeks.  She said if his weight and size are continuing to look good, she could be talked into 39, but 38 weeks is probably when they'll kick him out.  I know it seems weird that because he's small, they get him out earlier.  They're just worried that my placenta is going to fail (which is why 2x/week appts keep a good eye on him), and at 38 weeks...there's really no difference between outside/inside the womb, but obviously being outside we would know he's ok.  So we don't have an official induction date, which I'm fine with for now.  We are taking it a couple of days at a time and are just trying to be prepared.  While I LOVE being pregnant and will miss it greatly, I am soooo excited to have this precious boy in my arms!

Kendry {34 Weeks}


How far along? 34 Weeks
Total weight gain: 13 lbs. I've gained about a lb each week recently, which is unusual for me.  I'm hoping that means Kendry is getting chunkier ;) 
Maternity clothes? Yes and the weather has been so cold still...I'm just so ready for spring/summer clothes. 
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: I've been sleeping better lately.  I'm not sure if I've just found a good way to sleep or if I'm just that tired ;)

Miss Anything? Regular clothes. I'm bored with my maternity stuff... but soon enough!
Movement: Still my rolling, stretching and bumping machine.  He shows off the most at night, but squiggles a lot in the AM right when I wake up.  I lay on my back and just rest a few minutes before getting out of bed and he always gives me squirms to say "hi mommy" 
Food cravings: Nothing in particular right now. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: The back pain is still bothersome if I sit too long and I feel really out of shape.  My other 2 pregnancies I didn't feel this out of shape! Oh and I'm tired a lot so I take a lot of naps.  Gotta soak in this time where I can actually nap.
Gender: BOY
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I still feel so happy + grateful for this pregnancy.  I don't take the privilege and honor lightly and I am so thankful that things have gone well and pray that all goes well in the next few weeks too.
Looking forward to: We have 6 more weeks! I CANNOT believe it. 6 more weeks until we meet our final little baby! Even though getting ultrasounds every week can kind of be a pain, I'm glad they're keeping a good eye on him...and also, who doesn't love it when they can get pictures like this?  We saw him blinking and it was so sweet! So I'm always looking forward to the next time we get to see his sweet face!

Kendry {33 Weeks}


How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain: 12 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yep! But man I'm ready for cute non-maternity spring/summer clothes :)
Stretch marks? None yet. Trying my best to keep them away!
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good.  I have to sleep on my side most of the night, but I have been crashing pretty hard.  
Best moment this week: We had our BPP appt this past Tuesday and everything looked good-- amniotic fluid, blood flow, cord, movements/breathing, etc.  He's still measuring small, but they didn't give me a weight this week...they only give it every 2-3 weeks :) But look at this CUTE video they got of him sticking out his tongue!!! 




Miss Anything? Sleeping on my tummy and not getting winded when I just walk up the stairs! ha. I'm SO out of shape this pregnancy!
Movement: Just my little roller and stretcher.  He is still head down and continues to just roll all around, no ninja kicks or anything :) 
Food cravings: Nothing in particular.  I am trying to enjoy what I want for the last time of no judgement...gotta go big or go home.  Maybe that's why I'm feeling so out of shape haha!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Still just the back pain that has been more often than I prefer.  Tylenol and laying down, and sometimes a little heat help it as well.  It's nothing too bad, but it's uncomfortable.  I try not to complain except to Nate ;)
Gender: boy!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy with a little bit of 7 weeks left until we have 3 kids?! WOW. 
Looking forward to: His name sign came in the mail and I can't wait to hang it up :) We booked the newborn photographer also, so I'm just looking forward to soaking in these last weeks!!!

Kendry {32 Weeks}


How far along? 32 weeks. I feel like I look BIG in this pic...haha. 
Total weight gain: 11 lbs. 
Maternity clothes? Pretty much all the time. I get dressed to go out and then when I come home I switch immediately to sweat pants.  Poor Nate...all he sees me in is sweats ;) 
Stretch marks? None yet. Trying my best to keep them away!
Sleep: Sleep has been alright.  I have to switch sides and to my back throughout the night or else I wake up uncomfortable, but for the most part I sleep well. I'm ready to be sleeping on my tummy again tho!
Best moment this week: We just had our ultrasound/BPP today.  He always takes a nap when we are in the ultrasound and we have to wake him up! About 2 weeks ago he was measuring in the 2nd percentile and today he is in the 10th at 3 lbs. 8 oz! So he is growing and doing well.  Everything still continues to grow in proportion, which the doctor tells me that is a great sign that he's doing just fine, he'll probably just be small :)  The doctors are happy but still want to keep doing the BPPs every week since he is still small.  The dr today confirmed that they want to stay with a May 31st due date...so we are right here at 32 weeks.  I'm hoping he continues to grow at a good pace, stays at a good percentile and comes on his own timing!

Miss Anything? I really want 80 degrees + a margarita.  Thankfully Kendry gets here just in time for warm weather and I'll be able to have one :) happy dance!
Movement: He's still a little roller.  2 weeks ago he was head down, last week he was head up and this week he is back head down.  He does flips and rolls all day long.  Still not a big kicker/puncher, but that's something I can appreciate!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular still.  I just eat a lot... haha.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: I'm feeling pretty good!! A little back pain if I sit too long, but other than that...I'm pretty comfortable. 
Gender: boy!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!
Looking forward to: I'm just so excited to see his sweet face.  Newborns are just the most precious thing :) I'm trying to make sure I soak up these last 8 (what!!!) weeks with just my two boys, before our world gets rocked. I have all his clothes in the drawers and organized, his room is all set...I'm just waiting for his name sign to come and then I think we are all set.  I'm working on plans for the boys + Benny when I go into labor! No hospital bag packed yet, but I'll get to it in the next few weeks!!

Kendry {30 Weeks}


How far along? 30 Weeks...pic is from 29 1/2 weeks ;) 
Total weight gain: 10 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes, for the most part.  I still wear a lot of sweaters/cardigans that aren't maternity, but pants and tanks are definitely maternity.
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleep has been a little off and on.  The boys sleep really well in the bunks but Jacoby sleep talks (a lot!) and so some nights when he talks a lot, I get more interrupted sleep.  Other than that, I can't complain! I'm feeling really comfortable sleeping on my sides so far which I'm thankful for.  I'm sure in 10 more weeks I'll be thrilled to sleep on my tummy again though!



Best moment this week: We got to see Kendry on the ultrasound!  The tech did a few shots of him in 3D and the first thing I said to Nate was "He looks so much like Maddox!" and Nate said "Looks like I get another one that looks just like me." hahahha.

Miss Anything? Drinks on girls night out! 
Movement: Still a little roller and stretcher.  He moves a lot but it's just so much more rolling and in such a calmer way than I remember the other 2.  Not sure if that makes sense, but it does in my head!
Food cravings: Nothing really.  I'm still digging my smoothie in the morning and it's always the same kind: Peanut Butter Banana! Y U M
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: I've been feeling really good this week, and I'm thankful for that! I do not take it lightly that I feel this good at 30 weeks, and I really appreciate being able to run around with the boys as much as I do. 
Gender: boy!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: I got Kendry sheets and a changing pad cover, so although the room still is Maddox's, it feels a little more like it's special for Kendry.  I ordered him the cutest name sign and I am patiently impatiently waiting for his hat that I got him.  

A random update...

We had an ultrasound on Wednesday (yesterday) because one of the doctors just wanted to get a check on him and sort of wanted to "double check" that his heart was looking good since Maddox's situation (even though Maddox's heart condition is not genetic).  They said his heart looks great, he moved around a lot, and we got to see his sweet face in 3D!  However, Dr. Weaver talked to us after the ultrasound because Kendry is measuring small.  Stick with me here, the dates/numbers might get confusing but I really want to have it written down for my memory. 

My original due date was June 8. 

He was measuring BIG by 10 days when they did the ultrasound to check for twins.

So they changed my due date to May 31.

He has been measuring on track with that due date, but at our 20 week ultrasound he was measuring a little small...but nothing to be noted of.

On Wednesday, he was apparently measuring 10 days small. 

So Dr. Weaver talked with us about it, and I explained the whole situation and reminded her that Jacoby was born 1 day early and was only 5 lb. 13 oz, and that Maddox was on his due date at 7 lb. 14 oz.  While Maddox was an average baby, Jacoby was a small baby!

Dr. Weaver said that their cut-off for changing due dates is 10 days.  So when Dr. Graber changed my due date to May 31, it was right on the cut-off and she could or could not have changed it.  

If my due date is May 31, Kendry is measuring in the 2%.

If my due date is June 8 (original), he is measuring in the 13%. 

Both are small, but the 2% causes more testing just to make sure he continues to grow.  He IS growing, just at a slow rate...which is totally fine as long as he continues to grow, develop and "thrive".  I asked Dr. Weaver if everything else looked fine, she said absolutely.  She said that his head and entire body were all perfectly proportionate (if they aren't, that causes worry) and his heart and everything else look perfect.  She said right now, he's just on the tiny side. 

Her main thought was that he is probably just measuring at the original due date, and then on the small side.  She also said that if he were at the 13% (original due date), they wouldn't require any testing and that he would just be on the small side...which they wouldn't be surprised by since I'm not a big person and since I've had small babies in the past. 

However, since May 31 is technically my due date, they have to do BPP's  every.single.week.  You guys...every single week!!! 

So the plan is for Dr. Weaver to chat with Dr. Graber about the due date and to do a couple BPP's and then another complete ultrasound in a few weeks, and then go from there. A BPP is like a little ultrasound they do where they just make sure baby is moving as it should, they check amniotic fluid levels, and they make sure he is doing "practice breathing".  

Nate & I feel very confident that there isn't a worry and that Kendry is just small.  I feel good, he moves a lot and Dr. Weaver encouraged us "please don't worry about this...he's just fine, we just want to make sure he continues to grow as needed". 

So I'm not worrying, but I am praying that he continues to grow as needed.  I told Nate maybe I should eat more Olive Garden breadsticks to fatten him up some? :) haha. 

Anyways...ALL of this to say.  We have NO IDEA what my due date is! Kendry is beautiful at 2 lbs. 8 oz right now and is moving/grooving and looks healthy but small.  

So if you're confused by why Nate & I have weekly doctor appointments for us (which of course we can't take the boys to because it's an ultrasound...), or confused by when it's a 30 week update but really I don't know if it's 29...this is why.

The weird thing is both of my babies have been super timely.  So I guess maybe we'll have a better idea of my true due date when Kendry actually arrives!

Such a long update, but I wanted it documented so I could look back on it if I ever wanted/needed to!

Kendry {29 Weeks}


How far along? 29 Weeks. 
Total weight gain: 9 lbs. 
Maternity clothes? Yep! Still squeezing into one pair of non-maternity! I have some birthday money that I can't wait to use once Kendry is here. I'll need some new summer clothes :) 
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good. I actually slept pretty well on vacation...even sleeping with a toddler next to me
Best moment this week: We just got back from vacation and it was SO fun and SO exhausting! haha.  My favorite part was the Shamu show at Seaworld.  I just adore the whales and it was so fun to watch the boys take it in.  

Miss Anything? Not right now, thankfully! 
Movement: He's just a rolling machine...doesn't give me hard kicks or anything, but just stretches and rolls all.the.time.
Food cravings: I actually haven't had any recently.  This is my last pregnancy and I should be soaking in the "I can eat whatever I want with no one judging me" thing, but I've just been eating pretty normal. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: The back pain is still there only if I sit for too long.  When we were traveling home, I kept feeling uncomfortable right at the top of my belly by my bra and then also in my lower back, but if I stood I felt fine.  I told Nate I thought it was just Kendry being in a weird position because I'm not usually uncomfortable like that.  After we got home and I went to sleep, I woke up feeling much better and I haven't been uncomfortable since...so I'm pretty sure it was just him in a weird position :)
Gender: boy!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!
Looking forward to: 2 things.  1. We find out on Sunday whether Drew & Rose are having a boy or girl and I'm so excited!!!  2. In the next week or so I'm going to pull out all the newborn baby clothes and start getting it all organized.  It'll be a trip down memory lane and also exciting as I think about Kendry really being here soon.  Nate & I were talking and I said 11 weeks sounds like a lot, but we have Easter + Maddox's birthday coming up in a few weeks and then all of the sudden it's only 6 weeks away.  I think it'll sneak up on us :) Gosh I can't wait to snuggle him!

Kendry {28 Weeks}


How far along? 28 weeks and officially in the 3rd trimester!
Total weight gain: 8 lbs at the dr this week.
Maternity clothes? Yea, and some non-maternity.  I'm getting anxious to wear a few spring clothes because I am just OVER winter clothes, and winter in general :) 
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleep has been really good. My body has gotten into a good routine and I sleep really well.  The boys have been sleeping great, altho some nights we wake up to Maddox crying because his head is in the ladder of the bunk bed?!? So we go in and move him back, but that's about it! Trying to soak up these good nights of sleep!
Best moment this week: Nothing in particular this week.  We are leaving Saturday for San Antonio, Texas and I'm really excited for our last little getaway as a family of 4.  

Miss Anything? Not that I can think of right now, besides warmer weather...but that's not pregnancy related haha!
Movement: My sweet little Kendry moves but it's just so calm.  I told Nate the other night that when he moves it just feels like he's rolling or stretching, I rarely get the solid kicks.  Maddox was like a ninja in there, so this is just different ;) 
Food cravings: Chicken salad sandwiches have sounded really good.  I went to Arby's for one today and they don't have them anymore??? I was so bummed.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Still the achy back if I sit too long, but it just keeps me moving.  I haven't stayed nearly as active as I did with the other 2 pregnancies, but I blame part of that on being tired taking care of the other 2 and part of that on the winter weather.  I can't wait to be able to take a few walks and move!
Gender: boy!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  How in the world are we in the 3rd trimester? It's a little bit of "I can't wait for him to be here...what will he look like? What will his personality be???" and a little bit of "wait...this is the last time I'm gonna be pregnant? I don't want to be only 12 weeks away..." I probably sound crazy, but it's just a bittersweet thought!  
Looking forward to: We have an ultrasound coming up in 2 weeks and I can't wait to see him!!!

Kendry {27 Weeks}


How far along? 27 weeks!
Total weight gain: 9 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yea..and sweats ;) 
Stretch marks? Nada
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good! 
Best moment this week: Nothing in particular this week.  On Monday I have my glucola test so let's hope that I pass :) 

Miss Anything? Cookie dough... I want some so bad! 
Movement: He's starting to move more and you can see and feel his movements often.  Still much quieter than the other 2 boys tho! 
Food cravings: I love smoothies in the morning but hadn't made them in a long time.  I started making them 2 days ago and it's been hitting the spot!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: I'm feeling good but if I sit in a position for too long, my back hurts.  Happens with every pregnancy, so it's something I expected.  I just have to stand up or lay down.  I'm thankful for movie theaters that have reclining seats :)
Gender: baby boyyyy
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Although I do have some emotional days.  Taking care of the 2 boys plus extra hormones makes me more impatient that I prefer sometimes. 
Looking forward to: I switched Maddox's clothes over to Jacoby's room so it's officially their room.  Looking forward to switching up a few things to make it Kendry's space.

Kendry {26 Weeks}


How far along? 26 weeks.  Wow, time is FLYING.
Total weight gain: 9 lbs. at the dr earlier this week. Slow & steady is my goal and so far so good on that.
Maternity clothes? Yepppp + lots of pajama pants when I'm home ;) 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleep has still been good!
Best moment this week: His kicking is finally strong and often enough that others have been able to feel :) The way a baby feels moving in my tummy is something I'll never get over

Miss Anything? Not really.  I'm in what I usually call the "sweet spot".  Not too big or uncomfortable, but I get the fun part of feeling him move.  So right now, I don't miss a thing!
Movement: Moving every day, still mostly during the boys naps and in the evening.  He is still much quieter in my tummy than Jacoby + Maddox were!
Food cravings: I've been having PB + banana toast almost every morning.  It hits the spot and keeps me full all morning :) 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  A little heartburn here and there tho.
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Feeling good! I will say that I'm feeling more "achey" than the other 2 pregnancies.  Mainly just lower abdomen pain/stretching.  I am guessing that it's just because of being active with the boys and constantly picking them both up.  I just try to take it easy on days where I feel more pain.
Gender: BOY...duh!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy...with a little side of HOW IS THIS MY LAST PREGNANCY EVER?!?
Looking forward to: Meeting him! It's so far away (14 weeks!) but I'm just soooo excited.  There is just nothing better in the world than meeting our babies and getting to do it one last time, I just can't wait! But besides that, Maddox + Coby are in a room together so I'm excited to slowly get their things organized together and get all the little clothes back out for Kendry! We aren't re-doing Maddox's room, but I am going to get some new sheets and changing pad cover...to make it special for him :)

Baby #3 {25 Weeks} BABY HAS A NAME!


Please excuse the dirty mirror, no makeup, and the sweatpants #momlife 😋

How far along? 25 weeks
Total weight gain: ~8 lbs... I don't remember my starting weight at the scale at home, so next week's appt will give me more of an idea. 

Maternity clothes? Yep! There's no hiding this bump :) 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleep has been good! Sleeping on my sides with a pillow between my legs and then some on my back too. I flip flop a lot throughout the night, but I still sleep well and thankfully so does Nate.
Best moment this week: My birthday and telling our families baby boy's name!
Miss Anything? Not right now!
Movement: He's moving...he's much more quiet than I remember Jacoby or Maddox being.  We'll see how that ends up correlating with his personality haha!

Food cravings: Nothing in particular but soups just don't sound good. I've made a few for Nate + the boys and then I end up just not eating it, because it doesn't sound good. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, thankfully!

Labor Signs: No. But I WILL say that I feel a lot more lower abdominal pain that I had with the other 2 pregnancies.  Not sure if it's just because of how much I am up/down/lifting etc. with the 2 boys, or what.  I take it easy on the days where I feel more uncomfortable..
Symptoms: Just this belly getting in the ways some times ;) Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good.  A little tired here and therej!
Gender: BOY
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY! Nate & I saw The Greatest Showman on Saturday and it was SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. We both want to watch it again, I can't stop listening to the music, etc. Also...my birthday was on Sunday and I felt so loved and special by everyone.  



ALSO.  We have a name and that makes me SO HAPPY --> see below if you want to know what it is :)


Looking forward to: We have an appointment next week and I'm excited.  When you go 4 weeks between appointments, a lot changes in between them.  I just wanna hear his little heartbeat again! 

As far as his name goes...

I've shared before but we really STRUGGLED finding a name.  With Jacoby + Maddox, they both came to us pretty easily and we easily agreed.

After finding out this one was another boy, we had a list of lots of names we "liked" but nothing that stood out to us or that we just fell in love with. (To be completely honest, we are super picky and I'm aware of that!)  We also found ourselves having a harder time because we obviously wanted the name to sound good with Jacoby + Maddox, but not too much like one or the other.  We were probably overthinking it, but naming a baby is a big deal and we knew once we heard it, we would know.


I was in the rabbit hole of Pinterest links and stumbled across the name...and I fell in love.  I casually mentioned it to Nate because I was afraid he would tell me no (like he had what felt like 100 times...haha). He said "oh, I like that!"

That night I went to bed and couldn't stop thinking about the name and it just seemed to fit this little boy.  I told Nate the next morning that I couldn't stop thinking about it. Nate is super logical and thoroughly thinks through everything, so I knew he'd think on it before deciding his thoughts.

 He texted me later that day and told me "I think I'm ready to settle on it".....my text back said THAT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY! 

I feel like he never makes decisions that quick, so I was caught off guard but HAPPY!

So we started calling him the name and it just seemed to click.  We told Jacoby and he pronounces it well and is so cute when he calls the baby by his name! Maddox is still confused I think and just says "baby" when looking at my tummy ;) 

Over the weekend we decided on a middle name (family name) and then we told Nate's family and my family this past Sunday when we saw them for my birthday.  With both families, we played hang man and my family had a full man hanging....hahahhaha! 

ANYWAYS.  We don't keep much a secret around here, so for anyone wondering his name...


We are so in love with you Kendry!
xox,

Naomi
