my how far we have come....

Sweet EJ,
I can not believe you turned 2 years old yesterday. Watching your eyes light up at your party, how you loved the balloons and the cupcakes, how you blew out your candles, and how you adore your new toys. It was everything I wanted your birthday to be. You are everything I hoped you would be and so much more. I am beyond blessed to be your mom and am so eternally grateful to the One who gave me you. Your first year was tough little man, but this second year has been wondrous. You are brave and strong and determined. You are sweet and feisty. You are just perfect to me. I love you so much my little two year old, and I look forward to many, many more years being your mommy! With so much love,
Mom

Sweet little Elias!! (and a belly shot)

Here is my sweet little boy at 13 weeks! It was confirmed he is definitely all boy and I am so excited to have another. I think three boys will be perfect for our family :)
So far, his name is Elias Matthew. We all know Adam and I are prone to change the name a couple of times until finally settling but I really like Elias and hope it sticks! It means "the Lord is my God" and I love that!
I have been feeling some slight movement for a little while and can not wait till he gets bigger and can really kick. I have gained a few pounds now but I am not too worried. I gained 40 with each of the other boys and have always lost it after. Hopefully this will go the same way. I will share a belly pic but it is not the best. I just snapped it with my iphone after my shower.

Here is the belly~ (I'll try to get a better soon!)

 And here is my little love~

Can't believe I have hit the 2nd trimester already. My nausea is almost completely gone and my energy is finally back. I am finally starting to enjoy this! So blessed!

what did the mommy tomato say to the baby tomato?

Catch up :)
And that is exactly what I am in desperate need of. The lack of attention I have given my blog lately is just horrible and I apologize! But now that I feel human again, I can't wait to...well....catch up :)

This winter has not been to kind in terms of illness for us. We have been bombarded with one case of the sickies after another. That on top of morning sickness and pregnancy fatigue, and me having to get stitches (yikes!), I had to pull away to tend to others things. Things seem to be settling down now and I am so thankful for that! Feeling good after a long winter is so nice and refreshing. You know what else is refreshing? Seeing this sweet face playing in today's snow....









Well until he fell and ate quite a bit of said snow...


But we cleaned him up and he was ready to keep going!








Sweet Austin was busy building a snow man while I was snapping pics but I managed to sneak one in :) That boy does not like getting his photo taken!

My two sweet boys! I just can not believe we will adding another to the mix! 

Speaking of our newest little one, we are growing right along! I will be 14 weeks on tuesday and I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks and the baby looked good. I have my NST on monday and will post pictures then. Also we might get a sneak peek of the gender then too! How fun!   We have started planning for the little "squishy", as Austin calls the baby, and I am redoing the boys room. They will be getting a complete room makeover and I will share that with you as it progresses! We also are getting some new things for the baby that I will also share. I love redecorating and organizing! The only room I have never cared for organizing is an office. So much paperwork and clutter. Maybe if I had a large office and some modern office furniture it would be better!Anyways, I am glad to catch up and I won't be such a stranger from now on! Promise!ps. I do have some giveaways coming up so keep an eye out for that!! :)
