Exciting Times :)

There are lots and lots of exciting things going on in the Rockwell house. Dylan has started 3rd grade- I can't believe how fast he is growing up! He started a new school and hopefully will make some great friends! Ted has been working a ton! He has had to go out of town a lot the past month, and it's looking like it will continue next month too. And..... last but not least..... we have officially started trying to have a baby :) Just typing those words brings a HUGE smile to my face!! Several people have asked me if we are pregnant/trying due to all the posts/pics with baby stuff. I am so excited to be able to tell them yes! Dylan is beyond excited!! He wants us to have a boy, but then said he will love his sister if its a girl. I honestly don't care what we have. I think a boy would be awesome for Dylan to have a little brother. But then a girl would be awesome because she would be daddy's girl, and has 2 cousins that will be around her age. We don't care what we have as long as the baby is healthy! We have already started stocking up on baby things. We have diapers, wipes, and clothes started. We have gotten a lot of gender neutral things. Not going to lie- I have gotten some adorable girl clothes! They were on for a KILLER deal! They are SO SO SO cute! Little girl clothes are so fun to buy! We'll see what we have :) We have gotten a few team items, North Carolina Tar Heels onsie, U of U onsies, and we are going to get some Real (of course) items. I hope that it doesn't take too long for us to get pregnant. I was on birth control since I was 15 (not for sexually active purposes just FYI) so its been quite some time. My doctor said that most people it takes 2-3 months after stopping the pill to get pregnant. But he said that sometimes it happens instantly. So we will just see what happens. Ted keeps telling me to wait to take a test until I miss my period. But yeah.... patience is not one of my biggest traits (I have 0 patience in most things). I am really considering getting one of those tests that you can take 5 days before a missed period. I am trying to tell myself that we probably won't get pregnant for a few months. I do not want to get my hopes up and have them torn down. The odds of me crying if the test comes back negative is very high. But I know that we will have children, its all in the Lord's time. (I am writing this down so I can come back and read this if necessary lol). I love my little family more than anything! I am so excited to have a little one join us! Here are some pics (no blog is complete without pics)

 5 Carter's onsies I got for $2.99!! Heck yes!

We had to get this- my dad LOVED it! So fun!

 That smile always melts my heart!

 Love this little boy!
