We went to Gulf Shores week before last and had a great time. Katie and my niece Isabel had a wonderful time in the sand! I was able to get a few good pictures of Katie and Clayton on the beach together. Katie is great at taking pictures. She loves to pose! It was Clayton that had to be bribed! My mother-in-law, Judy, my mom, Emily and Joel were also with us at the beach. It was a good vacation!

My doctor's appointment went well last week. We just listened to the heart beat, which sounded great. I go back on July 29th to find out the sex of the baby!

Camp Tahkodah

Clayton spent the week at Camp Tahkodah last week. It was his first time to go to a week long, stay in the cabins camp! He had a wonderful time there. Made lots of new friends, swam in the creek, got a leadership award, and even had a date to the banquet on the last night! My baby is getting too old! The other kid in the picture with him is Cade Smith( nephew of Hannah Alexander who most of you know) They are great friends.

Here is the first picture of baby Hoggard #3! I went to the doctor last Thursday and everything is good. The only bad news is that the baby is measuring small and they changed my due date from December 18th to Janurary 5th! I was so sad! But if that is the only "bad" news then that is fine with me! They did the same thing to me with Katie and then she came a week before they said she would. So I am not going to pay too much attention to the new date for now. I would much rather say that I am 12 weeks than only 9!
I go back on June 25h.

We spent Sunday night at some friends house playing in the creek and in the dirt. The kids love it of course. The boys caught fish and we cooked them up and had them for dinner....yes only in Arkansas! It was really good fish too!

My appointment last week went well. I just met with the nurse to go over history.....boring stuff. They took blood ( felt like they took it all!) to run the normal tests on. The nurse gave me a due date of December 18th. I go back to see Dr Citty next Thursday the 29th. I saw him at Clayton's school last week and he said that we would do an ultrasound when I am there for that appointment.
(joys of a small town!) I am anxious to hear a heart beat and see that there is actually a baby in there! For the mean time I am just feeling fat! My stomach was quick to pooch out as it was with Katie.

Our Big News!

Well, we are happy to announce that we are expecting our third child! I am 8 weeks pregnant today. I should be due around December 20th unless that changes after an ultrasound.
I go to the doctor on Monday, the 12th for my first visit. We are all excited about our future new addition. Clayton and Jeffrey are hoping for a boy of course, Katie has no clue and I would be happy with either!
I will try to keep my blog full of baby updates and possibly a few growing belly pictures!
