B & T: Four weeks of marriage

It's hard to believe that Bobby and Tori have been married for the past four weeks. Bobby shared on Thursday's night live chat that they got home on Monday from their honeymoon. We do have a new photo of the couple along with Josie, Kelton, Lawson, Carlin and Evan.

Many of you have asked why we do weekly updates of the newlyweds. Back when Brandon and Michaella got married, we decided that the first month, we do weekly since the couple had shared many photos of their honeymoon. We hope that Bobby and Tori will update their Instagram very soon.

We will see you on Tuesday for their first month of marriage.

Two weeks of marriage

Bobby and Tori are celebrating their second week of marriage. They are currently still on their honeymoon.

This past week, They celebrated their first Christmas as husband and wife.

All about Brooklyn: Two weeks old

It's hard to believe that Brooklyn is now two weeks old. 

Last week, she got her newborn photos done. She also got to visit her family and friends.

 

35 weeks pregnant

Erin is currently 35 weeks pregnant with  Brooklyn Elise. We can't believe that Erin only has five more weeks until Brooklyn is due to arrive.

When do you think Brooklyn's birthday will be?

36 weeks pregnant

In just four weeks, Zach and Whitney are due with their second child. They are super excited about the birth of their daughter.

 This week, we were talking about her birth announcement and can't chose but we are kinda leaning towards "Grandbaby #4 is here or Kaci has arrived". We do have a third that we were talking about but we are not sure.

 We will be announcing the title next week in 37 weeks pregnant update :)

19 weeks pregnant

The baby is a size of Heirloom!

Just one more week until we are half way through this pregnancy!

Did you know that we did not start pregnancy blogs with Bradley until Whitney was 28 weeks pregnant?

We will see you next week with 20 weeks pregnant!

All about Carson: Introduction

For those that have not heard but Chad and Erin have welcomed their first son on Thursday.

Erin is 35 weeks pregnant with baby Carson and here is his weekly pregnancy update! We only have 5 more weeks until Erin's due date! 

He is a little over 18 inches long

He weights tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds
He is the size of honeydew melon.
His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. Happy Belated Birthday Erin! We hope that you had a special day with Chad and your family.
