Family Pictures and Announcement

All Things Baby #2

It all started back in August...about 3 days before we left for our First Family Vacation to Florida.  We knew we were ready to add another amazing little one to our family and our prayers were answered.
I found out while T was showing houses...I made sure to tell sweet pea to not spill the beans and then I started going crazy!  Another baby!  Oh my....   so excited but so scared!  

 So...I waited 3 whole days to tell Tyler we were expecting again.  There were a few times on our flight when our plane had some turbulence and I almost screamed it out loud!  He found out by the pool after we left the beach one day.  It wasn't the surprise that I had planned but lets just say he was in shock.  Total shock.  We went out to celebrate at Peg Leg Petes!

About a month later we found out if H was going to have a little brother or sister.  Another Shocker!!!

 It's a GIRL!   We both thought it was a boy until the very moment we saw the pink in those cupcakes!  Having sisters is going to be amazing.  I dreamed of having a sister growing up... and so many of my friends have beautiful relationships with their sisters now...I can not wait to see and help their relationship cultivate and grow into something unbreakable.

And the dreaded...how-am-i-showing-already-I'm-only-10weeks picture

 And then the are-you-sure-I'm-not-20-weeks-instead-of-12

 And finally the I'm-just-going-to-embrace-this-blump picture at 14 weeks

So far we have had pretty much the same pregnancy as last time. I am head to toe nauseous all day long. (and going strong at almost 17 weeks) Well, our evil little kidney stones paid us a visit last week and it was just as terrible as I remember from last time.  But, that episode is over and we are praying it was the last one!!  We are anxious to start preparing the house for the new little one....but oh, the to do list is so very long... there is just never enough time to focus our energy on organizing.  We will get there.  In a few weeks we will get to have another anatomy scan to see our sweet itty bitty.  We actually had a mini anatomy scan last week but were mostly checking on my kidneys.  Itty bitty was all sorts of dancing and moving around.  She had her legs crossed just like H did when she was in my tummy.  We can't wait to see exactly who God has created this new soul to be.

October 2014

It was a hot October but we still pulled out all the bells and whistles...well, pumpkins and scarecrows.  I didn't think holidays could get much more exciting because Tyler and I have always had so much fun going all out before we started a family but let me tell ya,  It's so much more fun and exciting.  Everything is new...like we get to experience everything for the first time through those sweet little eyes.
Here's how October went-
Luke turned two

 You wore skinny jeans and I died at the cuteness

 You're a crazy cat loving baby

 It was picture day at school

 You and daddy had a typical morning

 You spied on all the people leaving church early

 You ran errand with mom and made this face when I said we had one more place to go

 You fell deeper in love with your amazing daddy

 You were twinning

 We were your servants

 But you flashed us a smile so we kept on serving

 You started holding your babies and reading to them

We spent an afternoon at the discovery zone

 And, we did ALL things HALLOWEEN.  You had fun at some events... and not so much fun at others...

 we (daddy) carved a pumpkin in the front yard,

 You went trick or treating for the first time!!  Yay...you actually stayed awake long enough to visit a few neighbors!

 We went to school and had a Halloween celebration.

 G and Nana had a Halloween party and you played with your cousins!

 You loved everything kitty....still!

 You were the cutest little piggie pie we had ever seen!

 We went to FBC's trunk or treat.... it was fun until I had you get a sticker tattoo.....  bad idea.

 We went to pumpkin patches.

 We watched our baby grow into a toddler before our very eyes.

 You were brave and jumped in a bounce house and then you touched a goat....and then you sat on a horse...we were so proud!

 You picked the perfect pumpkin and we kept it on the fireplace at home.  You played with it every day.

 We found a huge pumpkin patch.
