Life with TWO!

...has been wonderful! Tiring, but wonderful. Little man keeps interesting hours sometimes, and since Evangeline doesn't nap anymore, that can make for one tired mommy. I love every moment of it though! Asher is sleeping better than he was before, but boy does he eat! For a few nights he was giving me 3 1/2 hour stretches, but the past couple nights its been more like 1 1/2 hours... eek. He's growing quickly! I need to sit down and write out his birth story, but that will have to wait for another day. For now, here are lots and lots of pictures in no particular order :)

Grandpa came to visit!

My little Valentines :) I look exhausted, but hey, that's about right.

His Pawpaw puts him to sleep very well!

This baby spits up like you would not believe! I thought his sister did. I was wrong. Hence he ended up in his sister's first Christmas bib. I never knew how much laundry a little baby could make until now...

Evie loves the movie Tangled. So we made her some Rapunzel hair.

All bundled up for a walk with daddy!

SO thankful!

For our precious gift from God- Asher Liam, 9 lbs, born at 1:03 am on Wednesday.

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Psalm 127:3

Just a little update...

Well, we've reached 42 weeks with little Mister, so I'll be induced tomorrow evening. I would appreciate your prayers for a natural delivery and a healthy baby who's a good nurser! :) Thankyou friends.

38 weeks!

And Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

26 weeks and growing!

Here I am at 26 weeks, enjoying a bit of cooler weather, thankfully!! I've been feeling good lately, just tired and strangely, my feet hurt alot! Not sure why this is, but I have to be really careful about what shoes I wear and make sure I rest my feet during the day. I'm up ALOT at night, but I know that's just God's way of preparing you to be up MORE when the baby comes! Evangeline is so excited about baby Asher and often kisses my tummy and will bring him toys or snacks :) I have my diabetes test and RhoGham shot next week, that is surely one of the least fun parts of pregnancy... But I'm still thankful for it, and for my wonderful midwives.

Fun at the Zoo

We have been so blessed to have beautiful weather here the past few days. It's been just lovely in the mornings, so we decided to take advantage and go to the zoo. We haven't been in a couple of months, it's been so hot and unpleasant here!

She really liked the "Fingos" aka Flamingos!

She was so brave this time, running all around the butterfly house and having a great time. Last time we were there she was terrified of the butterflies!


Evangeline just loves, loves, loves her Gigi! And I am so thankful for such a wonderful mother, what a blessing!

Baby Boy's Nursery

We are so blessed to be expecting a baby boy! Here's the beginnings of his nursery... mommy made! I had a lot of fun at Hobby Lobby and Joann's, picking out the fabrics. Can't wait to start sewing, but I really have to wait until we get Evangeline's big girl room ready, and that is going to require a bit of work. Hubby is going to make her a bed, and we need to paint the room, and make curtains, and clean out the closet, and lots of other things... eek! :)
