Prego-week 20 & Boy/Girl News

On September 9th we went to my favorite appointment...the one where they tell you if baby is a boy/girl and you get to see all of the little parts. I don't know how people don't believe in God after seeing such a miracle in there.

20 weeks...halfway there! The baby is measuring about a week ahead of the due date--it could be a big baby, folks!

Big brother in the mix!

Daddy told Camden to give the baby kisses, but it looks like he's eating my belly!

Camden wanted a turn holding the sign.

It's a BOY! We are so excited for Camden to have a little brother! They are going to be best buds!

Brothers share such a special bond and we are looking forward to seeing that with our boys. Now we just have to think of a name for the little feller!

Grandparents Day

Today is Grandparents Day (don't worry, I had no idea either until I looked at my calendar this morning)! I'm SO thankful Camden (and baby) has been blessed with the best ones in the world! Cheers to the six of you! We love you!

The Fam Weighs In

Camden has held a few "signs" in his day (happy birthday, his age, a welcome note to his cousin, etc.), so I asked the fam to make a sign with their predictions about baby Bentley on the way. Little Dylan and the dogs even got involved. Thanks for playing along everyone! Love the pics.

Eric (JB's step-dad) says boy all the way with all of his "manly" gear!

Jonathan's mom disagrees...she thinks this little one will be wearing pink.

Lizzie (Mom and Eric's dog) is ready to have another girl around.

My dad thinks his girl is having a girl. Sidenote: real men wear purple.

My mom thinks Camden is going to have a sister--she goes with pink!

Jonathan's dad joins team pink! He thinks his 3rd grandchild will be a girl!

Karen (JB's step-mom) is guessing another Bentley boy is on the way.

Jason (JB's step-bro) agrees with his mom, blue gets his vote.

Molly (Dad and Karen's dog) sticks with Lizzie--girls rule!

Proudly showing off the Bentley nipple hair...Jer (JB's bro) thinks another boy will be blessed with the goods.

Sara (sis-in-law) has seen the trend on the Bentley side and goes with a boy.

Dylan wants a girl in the mix so he and Camden can hassle her!

Prego-week 17

My original plan was to take pictures every 4 weeks (which is what I did with my first pregnancy), but we're a little off track. We started off strong with week 8, then we missed week 12 and had to go for 13, and now we have skipped 16 and did 17 instead. My goal is to get back on track and take a photo right at 20 weeks, which is on Friday! Let's see if it happens! I'm sure you have picked up on this, but I'm wearing the same tank every time to see how it fits differently as the belly grows. I've had a few friends do this and I liked watching the change over the months. So, here it is, the belly at 17 weeks.

Here I am 16 weeks prego with Camden. Just a little comparison shot for you...lighter hair, darker skin, and a smaller belly! :)

Papa

Happy birthday, Papa! All the kids (and adults) love this guy! He is so loving, unselfish, and fun causing people (our son in particular) to gravitate toward him. Eric, thank you for being you! We appreciate the example you have been to us with your positive attitude, gratefulness for life and those around you, and love for Jesus. Enjoy your big day! We love you!

Game time!

Here's what you do, click on the link below and fill in your predictions for our little one. It won't take long and it will be fun to look back on once the babe is here.

Anne, thanks for the encouragement to do this! Whit, thanks for already doing it so I could steal your idea. :)

Boy or Girl?

We don't know yet, but I thought that title might cause you to read this post. :) We find out exactly one week from today. So, what do you think? Leave a comment and let me know...stick with the blue or go purchase some pink?
