little baby kendall

well, here he is! baby kendall number 3.
currently cooking at 37 degreees celcius, pictured here at 19 weeks and 4 days. we had the ultrasound tech in fits, when he told us that the baby had a well formed spine, doug said "well he's obviously not a goodlet, they are all spineless." to which i retorted with "well i don't know how he even has a heart at all if it's a kendall!" 

mixed with a few jokes about calling him peralta (after jake peralta from brooklyn 99, which we love - and was cancelled that morning, but has thankfully been refunded and will be back on air) the tech said he wasn't going to forget us anytime soon. oops. at least we made him laugh though.

we are pleased to report though that everything is going well. he (yes it's a baby boy! which i know i am safe to announce on here seeing as about 4 people read my blog haha) is measuring correctly, has all his fingers and toes and is cute as a button already.

we can't wait to meet you little one!

we're having a baby!

so... for those of you who don't already know... and i know there are a lot of you, because we have barely told anyone - we are having a baby!! another baby kendall is heading our way, due october 1st! we are so excited... especially these kids, who are just beside themselves with joy. we told them just over a month ago (on mothers day) and madeline has nearly died trying to keep it to herself, whereas joseph is a little more chilled about it.

for those of you who are wondering why we've gone back for another one? well, it's simple. i could always picture myself holding another baby. when i thought about life, there was another kid in the picture - and sometimes i'd have both kids ready to go somewhere and think i need to get the other, hang on, i only have two of them! so i prayed and prayed about it, but never seemed to get an answer. but over time i realised something. i wasn't getting a no and it was a decision i needed to make. so i did and here we are with baby kendall number 3 on its way.

the two most excited kids i know, currently trying to choose a name... some of the suggestions thrown our way were justin, hunter and adrian. ummm what? okay, we'll see.
