Happy Thanksgiving!

I feel so beyond thankful this Thanksgivng! Baby Brady and I are healthy, and Jeff is so supportive and wonderful. We feel Brady move so often now, and all of his tiny body parts are developing right on schedule! (Okay, so Jeff and Brady's Uncle Ryan don't think that EVERYTHING on him is tiny!) :) We have wonderful family and friends and we feel so undeserving of even the simplest of things during this exciting time.
Jeff, Ryan and I traveled to the Land of Lubbock for Thanksgiving to spend it with our grandparents. (Our grandparents go to the same church and have known each other for longer that we've been alive!!) It snowed big flakes on Thanksgiving and then was just cold the rest of the time. We were thankful for so many things on Thanksgiving, including the overwhelming Cowboys win. But even MORE than that, we are thankful for all of YOU who are a tremendous support and encouragement through this new stage of life. We could easily feel like we're walking blindly through this, but God has so generously given us family and friends who have gone before us and pray for us daily. Thank you ALL for who you are in our lives and what you mean to us. We love you!

Baby Leach is a Baby Bear!

I am a little behind in posting this one, but at the beginning of November, Jeff and I traveled the long 2 hour trek to Waco for Baylor Homecoming!! It was the best Homecoming ever! We just went down there on Saturday morning and had a front row seat for the Parade and saw my sister and the KKG pledge songs, then we went to Spice and Ninfa's!
What a wonderful, quick Waco trip!!! At the time of Homecoming, we were expecting Baby Madeleine and we bought a cute Pink BU T-Shirt for her, but now that we're expecting Baby Brady, we will need to get a new BU T-Shirt!!! (Maybe even a hat!)

Ooops!!!

So, even though we had recieved TWO "official" opinions on the sex of our little baby... we found out yesterday that there is now NO mistaking that Baby Leach is a Baby Boy!!!! Right when we saw the picture, I knew that something was different!! I would post a picture, but I don't want to expose our baby's "goods". Baby Boy Leach is now officially Bradyn Walker Leach. (He'll go by Brady...) Jeff really wanted to name him Antonio Romo Leach but I vetoed that so that when Brady is the star quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys he can make his own legacy! :) He will get to go to Texas Stadium before it closes though! So we're into all things blue now!!

Good Bubbles and Bad Bubbles....

So I've promised honesty in my blog... so if you aren't up for what I'm about to write, avert your eyes, please!

GOOD BUBBLES-I've begun to feel baby Madeleine move around in my belly! It feels like little bubbles right underneath my belly button. I especially feel her when I'm trying to go to sleep or I've just eaten a good meal. It is my most favorite part about being pregnant so far. I think this is where your glow comes from!!

BAD BUBBLES- On Sunday before the big game, I was having sharp pain on my left side. I mean gut wrenching pressure and I couldn't lift my leg to put my pants on! So, I called my mom and asked her if I should be concerned... (because, of course, moms know everything-what a scary thought that is since I'm about to be a mom and I know nothing!) She told me not to be concerned because it's just GAS! That's right, you heard me. I was a bit gassy on Sunday! Nobody tells you about these things before you get pregnant. So do NOT be concerned if this happens to you... according to my mom, it's just gas!
