23 Week Pregnancy Pictures

A shot of my 23 week old baby bump

Everett's 21 month photos

Karl and I had some fun yesterday taking Everett out to snap some cute pictures! We wanted a bunch of Everett in front of a fountain, but Everett was so fascinated with the water, we had a hard time getting him to look at the camera! I am glad to have beautiful scenery around Fresno to capture some great memories of Everett!











We also found out a few weeks ago that Everett will be a big brother to a little brother!!! It's another boy! Karl and I and all of our family and friends thought we would be having a girl. How could we all be wrong? So we had some girl names picked out and now we have to start from scratch again and find the perfect boy name! I am so excited that Everett will have a little brother to become best friends with and have that close brotherly love with! God knows what Everett needs and I can't wait to see how Everett interacts with the little baby boy!

New and exciting changes are happening...

It's about time I get on my blog to update everyone! My blog is well overdue for an update on the latest in the Baune family! At the end of June we packed up the house and moved across the country back to the heart of California! We have been praying for so long for an opportunity to be closer to home while Karl finishes up chiropractic school and it was clear to us that God wanted us back in Ca! We were both super excited! It was the best decision for us to move back to be closer by our loved ones, especially with our new addition coming soon! In January 2011 we will welcome our new bundle of joy into the world! I am 16 weeks along now, almost 17. I have lost a lot of energy and spend most of my free time resting, so not a lot of time is spent doing things I love like updating my blog.



Everett is now 20 months, going on 2 really soon! We have already encountered some stages of the terrible two's which is quite challenging. I cant find the words to describe the love and joy he brings to our family. I am beyond blessed that God gave Karl and I such a happy and good little man. I am honored that God has given us this huge responsibility to care for and to raise up as a follower of Jesus. It has been an experience for sure and everyday is a new day! I can not wait for Everett to have a little brother or sister and to teach the baby new things and be a great leader! We are praying for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!!!

Everett turns 17 months... well, in 2 days!

Spring Break Atlanta Style

I am long overdue for posting a new blog. Life has been crazy busy the past few weeks with Karl studying for finals to my mom's visit to Atlanta for spring break. Life is starting to be a little normal again. Karl, Everett and myself had the privilege of having my mother come out to Atlanta for her spring break at the last minute. My mother-in-law was planning on visiting us, but could not make it out. Although we were sad that she could not visit, we were happy to have my mom come out too. It's been since January that we last saw my mom when we were in Fresno for Christmas break. So it was great to have her here to share Karl's break with and to actually have family here for Easter. We got to go on a few walks while the weather was decent and not too hot. (One time it was probably 40 degrees during our walk. Karl said to grab a sweater, but I should have grabbed a jacket!) Then it eventually warmed up into the mid to high 70's. Seems like we jumped from winter to summer right away. We also did some shopping, barbecued, went to the Georgia Aquarium, went to dinner several times and out to lunch, went to church, played with Everett outside, visited Piedmont Park to take pictures, went to the Marietta Square, had an Easter egg hunt, played peek a boo tons of times, Mimi played with Everett and made him crack up, Mimi babysat Everett while Karl and I went on a date! That date was long overdue! We took a picnic to a park and enjoyed the sun then saw a movie, Dear John at the dollar theater. It felt so great to have some time alone with my husband! Great overall visit with my mom, but sad to see her leave. Thanks mom for all you did for us and for the time you spent with us! Everett sure warmed up to you very fast again.




























































A lot of pictures above, but this is what happens when I don't stay ontop of my posts! :)
