It's A Boy!!

We've actually known for a couple weeks but had another ultrasound on Friday to confirm.  We found out early when I did a high risk ultrasound and it was hard to tell.  They confirmed that he's definitely a boy! We've named him Caden Robert Butler.  Caden will be a 5th generation "Robert" as it is Brett's 1st name, his father's name, his grandfather's name, and his great-grandfathers name. We are so excited and can't wait for little Caden to get here.  I finally have a baby bump and started gaining weight in the last couple weeks.  I had lost close to fifteen pounds throughout the rough patch but looking at me now you would have never known.  Hopefully, the weight gain will now slow down a bit! 
Here I am at 20 weeks...

Way behind...

Sorry, I'm way behind on the blog.  I've had a few pretty rough weeks with the pregnancy but I'm feeling much better now and hope to be over the hump.  I'm looking forward to 4 months of smooth sailing (fingers crossed :).  So here is a recap of the last few months...

In late September we went to Colorado for a visit.  The weather was gorgeous. We got to reveal the news of the pregnancy, see the Smith's new home, and spend some quality time with family.  We spent most of the time up at the cabin.

One afternoon all the Butler's went on a hike.  I opted to stay home and get some rest but from the pictures it was obvious that I missed out. Eric and Karla...

We had such a great time.  I wished we could have stayed longer.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone again around New Year's! 

My high school 10 year reunion was in early October.  It was great catching up and seeing a lot of people that I hadn't seen in awhile.  I only managed to take one picture with Melissa.  She is due to have her second baby the day before me! I only wished they lived closer. 
We went to the Cowboys game.  They were doing terrible but we got to sit in one of the suites.  It was so nice and definitely a treat. 
Brett got to go to two of the World Series games.  He and his cousin Matt went to game 3 but they forgot the camera so no pictures.  AC and Brett went to game 5.  Unfortunately, the Rangers weren't able to pull off the win but it was still great for Brett to be a part of it all.
