Catch Up...

Wow...there has been a lot going on since my last post. I will try to catch up in the correct order.

Brian and I bought a lot in our favorite neighborhood in Brandon last year. Our original plan was to pay it off over a couple of years & then build... Needless to say, our plans changed. Our house has been on the market since about April and now it is SOLD!! We are living in a rental until we build a house- something Brian and I said we would never do. Moving in this heat was miserable but we are so grateful that our house sold & we are starting this new journey to building a house & moving into the actual town of Brandon!

In May, my bff Corrie finally turned 30. Her parents planned a surprise birthday party for her in Batesville. We drove up for the night to surprise her.

Harrison had fun running Poppa to death


Our next big event was a baby shower for little Lauren who is set to welcome Ana Spencer by July 20. We had so much fun showering her & we can't wait to see Lauren as a new mama!

Yes, you read that correctly. In the midst of all of our house chaos, Brian and I found out that we will be welcoming a new little Whitmire around the end of December! Surprise! We were really blown away & not expecting this at all. The first due date the doctor gave us was actually Harrison's birthday. Our next appointment, my due date was moved back to December 30. So before the end of the year, we will go from a family of 3 to a family of 4. During all of our waiting on Harrison the first time around, I always prayed for a surprise pregnancy. Well, the Lord still answers prayers! I have felt much better this time around. With Harrison, I was sick all day everyday for 20 weeks. The biggest difference this time around is I am just completely wiped out the majority of the time. I think part of that comes with having a very active 18 month old boy who keeps me running! So we will be extra busy over the next few months. Hopefully, we will welcome this new baby & then shortly afterwards move into our new house.

Harrison goes for his 18 month check up this week, so I will post an update on him later.
