He has a name!

Joey and I finally decided for certain that we are going to name our little boy James Knox Butler and call him Knox. James is Joey's dad's name and Knox is a name I actually had picked out for Grayson if she were a boy. I had a little boy come in my office one day and his name was Knox and I fell in love with it since then. He is quite an active little thing at times but not as much as I would like him to be and I just really think this name is going to be perfect for him. We are 21 weeks and getting anxious and excited. God has definitely came through as always and has given me the peace that surpasses all things. I rarely think negative thoughts about this pregnancy ending any other way than good. My mind has been set on good things and I love this little guy so much already. I absolutely love feeling him move so much, it reminds me of Grayson. It's by far the most exciting thing I could ever have happen to me right now when feeling him. Isabel is so excited and counts the days down every day. She sings to my tummy and talks to Knox all the time. Of course I do not have to tell you how excited Joey is. He has become obsessed with fishing and boughta boat this past week. Him and Isabel are in heaven with it and we know little Knox will enjoy it one day as well.Joey went to Bass Pro the other day and bought Knox his first little outfit. Its white with a fish on it and it says Bass Pro on. I thought that was sweet. Its so small it could fit a little baby doll. We still do not know the exact date of his arrival but we are thinking it will be either a few days before Father's Day or a few days after.

Please continue to pray as we get closer that God will continue giving us that peace we have. I pray all the time for Him to allow us to feel your prayers.

Philippians 4: 11_13
"I am not sayign this because I am need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do EVERYTHING through Him who gives me strenght."

Valentines Day/doctor appointment

Well now that I am almost 5 months pregnant I suppose the "nesting" phase has set in. I did this baout htis time last year while pregnant with Grayson. I went to buy some storage tubs today to clean out Isabel's room because it is that time of the year to do this! And I decided to start taking down the pink in the nursery along with Grayson's things. It really was not as hard as I guess it owuld have been a few months ago but I came across a bib that belonged to Isabel when she was a baby that I had saved for Grayson. It read "Baby's First Valentine's Day" It brought tears to my eyes that she would be wearing that today. I almost feel like I'm betraying her by packing her stuff up and have gotten a little bitter over replacing pink with boy colors. Only because I never got to use these things on sweet Grayson. But God constantly reminds me that these are material things and really are meaningless in the scheme of things. I k now this but it is still something that I have in the back of my mind. We went to the doctor this past week and had a pretty lengthy ultra spund done and he is certainly an active little thing! I am so excited for him to come and we are pretty certain on a name for him but will let you know as soon as we "officially" decide!

Happy Valentines Day!
