The Ducote Family

Big Brother!!

Joseph is going to be a big brother-our family is growing!  We are expecting a little girl sometime this December-my due date is Christmas Eve which is going to make for a very fun but expensive month in the Ducote home!  We feel so blessed and are so thankful.
We found out that I was pregnant on April 11th and we found out on July 25th, 2012 that we are having a girl.  I had an ultrasound at 14 weeks and the Dr. tried to see if she could see the gender and she couldn't see anything so I had a pretty good feeling that we were having a girl but we were still shocked and, of course, super excited!

Rich had jsut finished telling the Dr. that he is the oldest of 9, the first 8 being boys, and that on the Ducote side there are 5 grandsons-no granddauthers yet-which is why the Dr. added the "Wow!!!!"

 I have been feeling really great.  Just very tired and I feel fortunate that I am able to crash during the day when Joseph naps if I need to (which happens pretty frequently!)  

8 weeks-May 14, 2012
Around 8 weeks I feel like I popped a little bit but then between 12 and 15 I just looked kind of chubby  and then at 16 definitely popped again!
 17 weeks! July 16, 2012
After we found out that we are having a girl I went to Carter's and had to control myself not to go crazy.  I saw the cutest pair of boots (actually 2 pairs!) and so many adorable outfits but I was good and figure I have plenty of time to shop.  I probably will go back next week to get one of the pairs of boots though!  I did have to pick this up for Rich though!!
We are so excited to become a family of 4!!
