Another Little Mister!!

The Riddle household is getting really excited about another sweet boy joining us!  Before we found out the gender, we didn't really care if it was a boy or girl... but now that we know that it's another boy, I'm getting really excited about a playmate and best friend for Davis! And we've decided on a name... 
We chose this name because it was a name Aaron & I both really like.  Neither name is really a family name this time. Hudson we decided on before we found out the gender, but it took us a little longer to decide on a middle name. Here are some pictures from Hudson's pregnancy...
We found out we were pregnant on September 20, 2013.  :)  All smiles!
And we told our families when we were about 8 weeks along...
To tell our parents, we made them a photo book from Davis's first year-ish...
And at the very end, we put the pictures we had taken to announce the pregnancy.
They were all excited! 
Then on January 3rd, we went for the ultrasound to find out the gender!! 
Another precious boy!!
This is a picture of his hands - he's praying, obviously.  :)
Our handsome Hudson. 
Then on January 4th, we did a Krispy Kreme gender reveal to tell our families the good news!
Some quick facts...
I'm 29 weeks today so I'm in my 3rd trimester.
Due date - May 31, 2014 (A month before Davis's 2nd birthday)
Closest thing to a pregnancy craving = Juice Shop (guava gulps!)
The pregnancy has been super easy & very similar to Davis's. 
No sickness, praise the Lord, and I've had more energy than with Davis. 
We can't WAIT for Mister Hudson to come join our family!!

We're having a ...

BABY BOY!!!!!  :)  We couldn't be more excited!!!  We went yesterday for our first ultrasound and found out that we're having a sweet baby boy!  Our families didn't know that we were going for our appointment yesterday, so afterwards we went to both of our parents' houses & surprised them with a box full of blue "it's a boy" balloons.  Then Aaron took me & Davis to Flemings to celebrate!  Here are some photos of Davis & the grandparents-to-be:

There's our sweet boy!
See, I was right... he's a boy.  :)

Baby Names!

Aaron & I have been talking about what baby names we like for... a long time.  But we never really had names that both of us liked so I was afraid that once we actually got pregnant baby-naming would be a stressful, never ending process!  But somehow, when we found out we were pregnant, we were able to fairly quickly come up with a boy name & a girl name that both of us really like.  :)  Now we just have to find out if Little Riddle is going to be a boy or a girl...?!?!?!  
I let my 6th grade small group girls vote and
most of them voted that it's going to be a girl...

If Little Riddle is a girl, she's going to be... 
Madelyn Grace Riddle
We let our family vote... so we'll see who wins!

And if Little Riddle is a boy, he's going to be... 
Davis Jamison Riddle
Davis is Aaron's middle name and I've always loved it, 
and Jamison is my grandmother's maiden name
Most of our family thinks it's going to be a boy.
Aaron thinks it's a girl, I think it's a boy.  But really just because we're competitive and want to see who's right.  Not because we really have a reason to think it's a boy or girl... and not because either of us have a preference.  We'll both be thrilled either way!  But we're so excited to find out!  :)

Mer-Bear!

Meredith Showalter is one of my favorite people ever.  :)  And she's preggers and super cute and due REALLY soon which makes me really, really excited!  On a side note, we also have pretty much the same life, so of course I think she's pretty cool.  ;)  We graduated from UNC together, she's a speech therapist in an elementary school, her hubby is a youth pastor, etc... except I'm not pregnant!  :)  But... Mer I want to play with Mason all. the. time.  
Mer, I love you & can't wait to hold little Mason!
