Boy or Girl?

We find out tomorrow if Baby # 2 is a boy or a girl! Nick and I both have a feeling it's a boy but we'll find out for sure in less than 24 hours. Part of me still can't believe we're having another baby. It's even more strange to know this child will be completely different from Brianna and yet still be half Nick and half me.

Bri is making huge strides with her mobility. She has started pulling up onto her feet in the last week or so. YAY! I was seriously stressed when we found out we were pregnant again and she still wasn't even rolling over. It's a huge weight off my mind that she'll be mobile when the new baby gets here. Actually, I guess that could be a blessing or a curse!

Below are some pictures from September. My baby is such a cutie pie!

Kerr Family Update

Blogging just isn't my thing. I love the idea of it and I love to read other people's blogs but writing one of my own just isn't appealling. The fact that no one reads my blog could be part of my lack of motivation. So for anyone who might be reading this, here is an update on what's been going on with the Kerr family.

First, Baby #2 is on the way! He/she is due April 5th and I'm anxious to meet him or her. We find out the gender on November 11th and we're excited!! I've felt the baby move a couple of times but nothing consistent yet. We weren't expecting to be pregnant again quite this quickly, but God is in control and has promised not to give us more than we/I can handle. While part of me is apprehensive about life with two babies under two, part of me is amazed and in awe that we're going to have another little one to cherish and enjoy. I feel blessed to be able to have children this easily when so many couples would give anything to start their own families.

Brianna is almost one year old and is a crawling maching! She loves moving around on her own and Momma is loving it too! Now for walking!! She likes to eat off my plate and any time she sees me with food, she wants a taste. We eat buckwheat pancakes together every morning. As soon as breakfast is ready she crawls over to me and reaches for a bite! She has six teeth total now. Two on the bottom and four on the top. We're working on transitioning from bottle to sippy cup, although she is still seriously attached to her bottle. No major developments in the talking department yet. She says "momma" and "dada" but I'm not sure if she associates those names with us yet.

Fall is here and my fingers are itching to start knitting or crocheting a cozy throw. As soon as we find out the gender of the baby, I'm marching down to the yarn shop to pick out my yarn and a pattern. Bri has gotten super attached to the baby blanket I knitted for her, which thrilled me!! So I thought I'd do the same for Baby #2 so nobody gets left out.

5th Anniversary

Well, we've been married for five years, half a decade. WOW! Sometimes it feels as if we've been married FOREVER and at other times it's as though we just got married a few months ago.


We had a lovely anniversary date. Thanks to Grandma and Aunt Jen for watching baby Bri so we could have our special night out. We ate at Loca Luna, which I love. The atmosphere is romantic and the food is delicious! YUM. Oh, and my sweet husband gave me a super special and sweet anniversary present. :)

Great Website

I Googled the phrase "emergent church" this morning since I'd heard about it a couple times and had no idea what it meant. In the process, I stumbled into this awesome, biblically-based website that answers all kinds of questions backed up by Scripture. It's called gotquestions.org and is incredibly refreshing.

I read the following articles and thought they were spot on. What do you think?

What is the emerging / emergent church movement?

New Happenings with Brianna

Brianna is 7 1/2 months old and has cut two teeth since I last posted!! The first one popped out a few weeks ago and she just cut the second tooth two days ago. I now understand why babies have such a hard time when they are teething. Those little suckers are sharp!! I can't imagine have those sharp little teeth pushing up through my gums. I think it would hurt me too. Anyway, the drool has been flowing like crazy at our house!

She is starting to try to talk now. She says "da da da da da" over and over. This morning she was babbling in her crib letting me know she was ready to eat and she kept saying "ba ba ba ba ba." It was as if she was saying "baba" for bottle. She's so sweet!

Little Miss Bri still has not learned how to roll over! She is almost there but not quite. She can sit up by herself if she's in a semi-reclined position, though!! And she is starting to whine and cry when I leave the room for a minute. As soon as I get to where she can see me again, she gets a huge smile on her face and starts babbling.
