A new addition at the Crouch Household

That's right you heard me a new addition and it's not another puppy! Carson's finally going to get to be a big brother. We found out beginning of November when i was around 4 weeks the test turned positive immediately and then i went right out the door to get a blood test to confirm and sure enough it was right!

So we thought about it and decided to make this fun and keep it our little secret as long as possible. It was super hard and several moments where i almost slipped. But we made it til Christmas Eve! Here's how the reveal went..... we were at my mom's and had just ate breakfast all together and let Carson and Ry open all there gifts up and then Jared and i snuck Carson away. We brought him in the other room explained to him that he was gonna be a big brother and mommy had a baby in her tummy. Then we put on a shirt that i made that says "I'm Going To BE A Big Brother" and we started to walk down the stairs telling everyone we had one more Christmas present that was for everyone :) They were all shocked! We got em good! There was hugs,tears of excitement, slaps of how dare you not tell us, and it was a great day. Here's some pics from the reveal:




He is beyond excited and asks me constantly about the baby and he says he's fine with a baby brother or a sister. We should get to find that out sometime in February!

This pregnancy has been the complete opposite of mine with Carson. I've unfortunately been hit with morning-all day-night sickness, headaches, mood swings, super sleepy, and all that fun stuff. I had none of that with Carson except the headaches in month 4 but ya this is a whole new experience but all worth it!

Babies due July 17th but if i go early again, we could very easily have ourselves a 4th of July baby!

Here is baby at around 8 weeks:


This year has a lot of fun new experiences for us and our lil family but i'm so ready for the journey/challenges/ and precious moments.


My tummy is doing that thing where i wake up just looking bloated and it goes bigger/smaller throughout the day then at night seems huge. Everyone told me you pop sooner with your 2nd and ummm ya i can confirm that's the case with me!
