2 Weeks and counting...

    

This is the little guys back we have literally never seen his face on ultrasound. Shy I guess?

 Today I am officially 37 weeks Pregnant. I can't decide if it came fast or slow. Sometimes it was a little of both. I am "pretty" ready to hold this little man in my arms. I cannot tell you how blessed I feel to be a mom to a second child and having no complications along the way. Jade and I were worried we would and I think we will always be with every child we have, but so far the only hard part was how sick I got at the beginning. I am so glad it didn't last the whole pregnancy!
    This little guy is scheduled to come February 25th at 7:00 am C-Section. I have to have all my babies C-Section because I had Hallie that way (little stinker sat breach the whole time). Mixed feelings on how I feel that I will never experience having a natural birth but overall I am ok with it. I watched Hallie's birth video the other night and one part that I really like about having a C-Section is how much time Jade gets to spend with the Newborn before me. He video the whole thing and was able to see her get weighed, measured, and cleaned off. While that is happening he is telling me all about her. What her hair, nose, eyes, and toes look like; as I am getting stitched back up. For some reason I just love that he gets that bonding time with the baby because I know I will get mine. He also helps give the baby their first bath which is so precious to watch. I just love it!
    Thinking back on that day just makes me want to cry, the look on Jade's face when he first saw her, the joy of finally holding that little girl for the first time. Becoming a mom; it truly is one of the greatest days of my life. I hope that when this little guy comes I can just relive all the wonderful feelings of love, hope, and excitement I did before with no complications. Now the key is to keep him from coming sooner then the scheduled date. I had Hallie what would be this coming Thursday so we will see. The anticipation is killing me!

Baby Boy Sprinkle!

  

   My awesome Mom, Sisters, and Sister-n-law threw me a wonderful "sprinkle" as we called it. I already had a baby shower with Hallie and thought it was only fitting because this time around I am having a boy!!! Jade and I are so excited. Hallie on the other hand is yet to be determined. I have decided to theme his nursery Fox and wildlife critters. I LOVE nature as well as my husband and found it only fitting. (Except for the fact that Jade thinks that his room needs a Fox skin ;) which he hunted for for months and finally got one. Which is being tanned as we speak. Not exactly what I had in mind but more on that later.) I made the blocks above with scrap paper and got the idea off of Pinterest. 

      Cute decorations huh they did an awesome job and I really appreciate all who came and supported us. I feel so blessed to have such awesome family and friends!

These lovely ladies are due within two weeks of my due date. I am excited to have little ones so close in age! Left to Right: Brynn- Boy Chalee- Girl and Me- Boy!

One Year Older!

      Wednesday Night we celebrated this girls 2nd Birthday. We just had a few family members over and she just loved it! I tried to do a Frozen party but apparently everyone wants the same thing cause finding anything Frozen was impossible so we improvised. I chose Frozen as the theme because there is nothing Hallie likes more than SNOW! She loves to eat it, play in it, and just watch the snowflakes fall. She was spoiled this year cause it snowed on her Birthday, January 29th, and on the day of her party.

     The best part was watching Hallie open her presents she literally clapped after every gift and she just ate up the attention. Poor girl if she only knew what was coming in a couple of weeks. :)
      Hallie also had her 2 year checkup. She's 24 lbs. 11 oz. 24% Weight 11% Head (She gets a small head from my dad :) and 47% Height. She still doesn't love to eat but is doing better. Her favorite foods are Funyuns, olives, oatmeal, pancakes, pickles ect... ya I know weird. Hallie also has a fun, spunky, strong, personality. She can be the cutest little girl one minute and a badger the next it makes life interesting and fun. I cannot believe how the time has flown! I just love this little girl and cannot wait to see how she will do with a little brother.  

 Parker with a black eye isn't he so cute!
