The BIG reveal!

 

 

We are so excited to add another girl to our family.  She looked wonderful and healthy today.  We are so blessed!!

Fall trip to the orchard...

We took our trip to the apple orchard last weekend.  The way it is looking, it may have been our last warm weekend this fall.  

Addie loves her trip to the apple orchard in the fall.  The best part is we get our pumpkin patch trip included!

The corn box was a big hit for Addie.  She would have stayed in that thing all day if she could have!

They made a slide out of a farm tile. 

She also had a blast feeding the goats!

Have a great night!  Tomorrow we find out if babe 2 is a BOY or GIRL!!  So excited!  My guess, boy.  Dan's, girl.  We will see who wins that one tomorrow!

to our 3 year old princess...

Addie ~

This year we got to celebrate your 3rd birthday party in our new home!  We celebrated the weekend of your birthday.  Mommy's side on Saturday and Daddy's side on Sunday.  You had a wonderful time celebrating with all of your family.  We had fun

eating cake...

...and opening presents.

Your favorite part of your 3rd birthday was releasing your birthday lanterns.

We released one lantern for each year you have blessed our lives. 

If you look VERY closely you can see all three lanterns!

You were lucky to get lots of really neat presents this year.  You tell me that some of your favorites were all of your princess stuff, ballerina doll, your camera, mermaids, flying fairy, drawing board, and many others things.  You are one very spoiled little girl with lots of family that care so much for you!

Here are a few more pictures to share from your birthday parties!

Addie, you have grown so much over these past three years.  Each year brings new surprises, new challenges, and so much more FUN!  Happy 3rd birthday, princess.  We love you so much!

16 Weeks and Garbes update!

I hit the 16 week mark on Sunday and am happy to report an increase of energy and am feeling much better overall!  This is helpful, since we now have an active THREE year old in the house!!  I will post birthday pictures soon.  We have been a busy bunch lately! 

We continue to settle into the house.  My goal was to have most of our house unpacked and decorated before Addie's birthday.  We have most of it done, but there is still more to do.  Moving is quite the process and my hope is to not have to do it again!  Addie loves her new house, especially since she has an entire play room.  She also loves the fact that she has three bathrooms to choose a bath or shower, and we are constantly rotating bath locations.  She has fun, so we go along with it!

As I mentioned, we now have a three year old in the house.  There is lots of drama and whining, but at the same time, we have so much laughter and fun.  You never know what may come out of her mouth, she is completely a comedian like her father!  She also has a big heart just like her momma.  Always giving hugs and kisses and telling us she loves us.  More updates on Addie with her big 3 year old post.  Here is our little princess...

We are so excited for babe 2 to join us in March.  I have felt the babe for the first time around week 14 and starting feeling something each day around mid last week.  Those little butterfly flutters are amazing.  I am looking forward to Dan and Addie getting to join in on the excitement as well.  I had my appointment last week.  Heart rate was great and everything is going well.  I have gained three pounds, good so far!  Our next appointment is on October 29th, when we get to find out the sex!!  Dan and I are pumped for the appointment.  We decided we would take Addie along to see her baby brother or sister!

I am wearing my belly band, so most of my pants still work.  I am in the in-between stage with clothes right now, wearing some maternity and some regular clothes.  Bad part is, I was pregnant over the summer with Addie and will be pregnant over the winter with this babe.  Guess I will have to get a few more clothes!

 To sum it all up...Proof that the belly is growing!!

Have a great night!
