Strolling down memory lane

In the midst of moving, working, carrying Trey and being really preggers right now I couldn't help but come across a bunch of picture CDs yesterday after David and I got home from our doctor's appointment to check out Cooper Smith Youell. The first thing I did was show Mom, who was keeping Trey, the pics of her 9th grandchild and then I put in pictures of Trey's ultrasound to see the major resemblance. When I was looking for Trey's ultrsound pictures I came across two CD's that two very special students made for David and I both before and after our wedding. Of course I had to watch those with Mom and just had this crazy feeling come over me looking at pictures of David and I and our families about life. It is crazy that in less than four years of marriage we are going to have two precious baby boys! Looking at those pictures I never imagined our life would be like this. It is crazy and it is hard but it sure is fun and exciting.

Once I can figure out how the heck to get this video uploaded I will post it. The video was made by my sweet, little mini me, Caroline Rutledge for us after our wedding that we gave to each of our parents!

In the meantime please enjoy the Carrie Underwood video about Mama's Song that makes me cry everytime!!My mother prayed that God would send me a man that was equally yoked with me!! Thank you for the prayers Mama!

Little Man #2 has a name and new pics!

After much deliberation (I can't make a decision on anything it seems) we are naming our new little man Cooper Smith Youell. I am excited that he will have my same initials as Trey has David's initials and name and I am still able to keep the family names going. The only issue we are having is what we want to call the little fella.  I want to call him Smith and David wants to call him Cooper so if anyone has an opinion on which you like better, I would love to hear it!!

We also went to the doctor today and had a great visit. I am still measuring about two weeks ahead of schedule which is both exciting and scary and the same time. I am feeling very tired and trying to just get everything squared away before our big arrival. Cooper Smith is currently weighing about 5 lbs, 11 oz and is head down. Everything looks normal and healthy so now it is just a matter of time for him to put on more weight and prepare!

I am done traveling right now for work as it really is just too much on my body. My doctor gave me a note today not to travel more than an hour away from home!! All I could sit there and think about was my commute to and from work everyday and how it basically takes me an hour or so each way!!! That would be something if I went into labor going to or from work! I guess I would just drive straight to the hospital! HAHA!

Enjoy taking a look at the pictures of Cooper Smith! He kept his hands up around his face just like Trey did in his ultrasound pics. Needless to say both boys have the same nose, mouth, lips and chin!! Just like their daddy!! I really don't have a dog in this fight put just to be a carrier for Youell boys! I absolutely love it though and maybe if/when we have a 3rd, I will be fortunate to have some of my genes passed down!!
