Caden-isms

I need to create an on-going list called Caden-isms or something because that kid says the funniest things sometimes. Yesterday, as he was putting little stickers on my belly 'for the baby' he stopped and put both of his hands on either side of my belly, looks at Brandon and says, "She's getting fatter!" Of course Brandon just busts out in laughter and I am standing there like, "Hey!" Granted, I know that Caden was talking about the baby because he always refers to the baby as if it's a girl, but I still laughed and asked if maybe next time he could say "bigger" instead of "fatter!"

He is so excited about this baby. :)

I am terrible at keeping up with this blog so let me start this off right with pictures!  First is the belly pic Brandon took on the 1st of November:

Second, is an EXCLUSIVE belly picture that I took at work today!

And now the scoop:  So the appointment we were supposed to have on October 30 had to be re-scheduled b/c someone went into labor, so we finally got to see our little nugget on November 6th! We had to wait two hours for the doctor to finally get to us but it was worth the wait! Not only did we get to see our baby but we also got to hear the heart beat! What a great sound. I looked over at Brandon to see his reaction after the doctor pointed out where the head was and where the little feet were and I don't think I have seen a smile that big since our wedding day!

Meet baby Wilkerson!

I don't know if you can see it clearly enough, but based on the measurment from the top of the baby's head to it's little bottom, our estimated due date (EDD) is either May 30 or 31. Caden's birthday is May 27 so I hope he won't mind too much if he ends up having to share his birthday with his little brother or sister. Our next appointment is December 3rd.  For those of you wondering, we will have to wait until I am around 20 weeks to find out if it's a boy or a girl. We definitely want to know. That puts us at some time in January...which to us, seems like an eternity!!!

I cannot tell you enough how excited we are to welcome this baby into our family...especially Brandon!  When we finally told Caden we didn't quite get the reaction we were expecting.  His exact words were, "Does this mean that I am going to have to babysit?" He is so funny. I think he is going to be a great big brother.  He already loves the baby, prays for it to grow strong and even kisses and pats my belly.
