FIVE Surprise Appt

 For my first appointment with the midwives the kids did not know that we were having a baby and neither did anyone else so we took them with us.
At this point, I had already asked my midwife if I could just skip a few early appointments because I felt fine - she agreed.

Levi was supposed to meet us and help with the crew and the surprise to them but of course he had an issue with his truck and work so he made it at the very end.



They were all VERY surprised, Clairana kept saying "I am so happy, I thought we would never have anymore babies in our house!"

Me Neither Girl. Me Neither.

They did great at the appointment and every midwife came in to say hi (again) and give them treats.
We will be delivering with the same midwives that Coraline was born with.
2 Washington babies, 1 Arizona baby, 2 Indiana babies.....

Number FIVE Coming SOON!

We have this place that does special ultrasounds to find out what you are having. It is so cute and we took Levi's sister there as a surprise a few years ago. 

Emily my Sister in Law told me they had scheduled an appointment and said the one after us is still open.....you should schedule.

We hesitated because its kinda pricey....but then I told my girlfriend and she offered us her gift-card because she is done having littles. 

So we did it! 

They went first and we didn't go with them because they wanted to do a gender reveal party.

We let them sit in on our ultrasound though! 

It was SUPER fun and a great memory. 

Thanks Emily for having us do it too!!

We will BOTH be welcoming GIRLS for the THIRD time together.

We have 2 other sets of girl cousins who are one month apart and we will be doing that again!

Crazy! 

Evans Crew will be rounding out our final days as EVANS PARTY OF SEVEN. Final Answer.

Waiting Room Times with Uncle Levi....

EKKK!! Getting Ready to Find Out! They turn the lights down and then the lights turn either Pink or Blue when they can tell by the ultrasound. 

Officially my FAVORITE picture of these TWO.
Nick (my brother) said #girliesperm which is just PERFECT. 

Clairana is SUPER excited. She kept telling me I thought we would never have another baby. 

Emily (my Sister in Law) and forever pregnancy twin.
We will soon have THREE girls within a MONTH of each-other.
Cousins and Best Friends for LIFE.
How PERFECT is THIS!

They did end up doing a gender reveal party so we kept a secret for a few weeks until then....it helped that I was away at camp and the kids spent most of that time with the Evans side of the family and Emily!

Family Fun - Memories

We had lots of late nights and crazy days with family this past week. 

Loads of love, sarcasm, food, sweat, sunshine and occasional crying.

Most times, we gathered at our house but we did have Father's day at Levi's grandparents which was a nice break from hosting and we got to enjoy the pond and amazing food as always.

Clairana's Baptism/Family Reunion Time

Life has been crazy lately! 

I was gone for a week at girls camp and the day after I got home Levi's sister, Ashli, and her family came to visit! 

Then we got another surprise Levi's mom flew in to join everyone!
We also had a special visitor, Bonnie Kisic, who we became great friends in Washington and she drove from Pennsylvania to come to the baptism.  

Then we had lots of family time....and then Clairana's baptism which was perfect.

Bell Family! Aunt Ashli did Clairana's hair for her big day and it was beautiful.
Tyrone helped mandate the slideshow during the baptism. 

MiMi Time. Anytime we have a big event she always is there. She flies from Washington to whatever state we live in. 

Family. We were very blessed with how many people came to celebrate this special day. 

Bonnie! Aka Mama Bon who came from Pennsylvania!

Reni (Levi's stepmother) brought monarchs from her farm to release after Clairana's special day. 

Levi and his Dad - It was Hot and It was Over. We did it!

Presents

I cannot believe we have an EIGHT year old! I also am so very thankful that she chose to be baptized and knows who her Savior is at such a young age.
