"You can't have your cake and eat it too!" ok so let's be honest... our little Gunner was NOT a surprise. We found out 6 weeks before he came that we were having a boy. Planny Angie was trying to have her bedding made by picking out girl/boy fabrics... and have the diaper bag ordered for girl/boy. Well, that all came back to bite me. Two crazy slip ups confirmed to me that it was a boy. I was pretty upset at first b/c we didn't want to know... but then we decided it was probably too good to be true to try to have all that kept a secret and it was time to get over it and get excited! :) We decided not to tell the story 1000 times...to just wait and blog about it and keep the sex a surprise for everyone else. Just had to be honest though..Gunner wasn't our surprise child. But he is still super SPECIAL! :) Should there be a next time.... :) We won't tell anyone and will try the surprise route again! :) So there you go! However, I did still feel it was a boy the whole time b/c I felt exactly how I did when I was pregnant with Noah. A little sick, craving meat and sandwiches the whole time. Emmie, I was really sick and craved sweets! :)
Hope everyone has a great week! Happy Fall! Love!!! She crawled up in her bed one night ready to bed.... except well... she still had her crown on. :)
The day before we had Gunner we planted some Mums for the flower pots out front
They each had their pot they helped me with :)
Happy Fall from us :)
The morning we left for induction.... we gave them a present... I know... spoiled!
Couldn't be happier
Pre Pain :)

See!! It's already starting!
Daddy and his boys
We could not get her to sit down. She was crazy!!
I love this one!!
He loves him so much already!
It couldn't get any better than this... Mama got her baby and her pumpkin spice latte! :) Happy! Happy! Happy!
Nate just had to take an after shower pic of me and baby.. ha... ok ok.. I guess there is a slight improvement. ha
John and Jackie...some special friends that have been there for all our kids. Noah loves John and always has something to say to him...but John was holding Gunner when Noah got there and Noah walked straight over to him and held out his arms like, "Give me my little brother" I guess this is his new overprotective big brother mode of no talking just body language. Ha!
I love this one of all the kids just waiting their turn...notice Noah has his arms out and I am sure is saying, "Mama, I want to hold the baby" in his tired, whining voice.
I should do a post just about the Blake's and how awesome they are for keeping our kiddos. Noah just had to get in the pic with them! I think there was a little spoiling while they were there but the kids couldn't have been any happier. It was so nice dropping them off Sat. morning and watching as they all stood out in front of their house waving bye and smiling so big. It made me so happy inside! :) Thank you Bra and Ki! :) Ya'll are the best!
Shara getting some G time... she is having a little girl in February for Gunner to play with :)
Here we go again with the faces
Daddy and his 3 kids
Tired Noah
He got his hospital pic made in this and now its time to go home! Yepeee
Suckin his thumb wearing the hat the volunteers at the hospital make. I got a pink one for Emmie. Noah missed out on that treat.
Thank you to everyone who came and visited us. I did not get everyone's picture and I am sorry. You are all so very special to us and we appreciate you coming and your love. I don't have pregnancy brain anymore... I have mom with 3 kids brain ...so I will do my best. :) I will try to keep the updates coming. Much love to everyone!

Obviously he's gorgeous, and so are you! You look so beautiful and blissful! And Noah and Emmie are only a little spoiled, Jack gave Riley a present at the hospital since he was a new big brother. It's wonderful how you always include all your kiddos in everything! Love you so much, and can't wait to meet the newest Orange.
SO precious!! Can't wait to see you guys on Sunday!
Angie, Kim sent me your news. Congratulations!! I gotta tell you I am sitting here reading with tears rolling down my cheeks. You have such a sweet, precious family. Noah's personality comes out in his pictures and Emmie is just a little princess. Miss catching up with you but I will now be your newest blog stalker. See my grandbabies blog at lorrie-b.blogspot.com
What am I saying, you do not have time for that.
He is beautiful! I can't wait to see him in person.
He is super precious! I can't wait to see what kind of trouble he and Noah will get into! :)
Yaaaaay! He's so cute! I can't wait to see him in person and squeeze those "butterball" cheeks! Glad the delivery went well. you looked GREAT!
Oh, I just want to squeeze little Gunner. You look GREAT!!!! Have fun and enjoy every minute. It flies by with the third but the sibling bond is just precious to watch. Gunner will be right there with them in no time. It's so comforting to me to know they will always have eachother. Miss ya!!!! Hugs!!!!
Ohhh, I can't wait to come visit at Grapevine and see him! Congratulations. I love the name too... that is incredibly meaningful.
