Secret Revealed!

I am so happy to finally be able to post this secret! Justin and I are expecting #3! I am officially 12 weeks today, with a due date of May 8th!

It has been a long couple of weeks! Unlike my easy 1st trimester with Max and Claire, this time around I have been nauseous most of the time.  I've had so many aversions to smell and food. Thankfully it is starting to ease up on me!

This is the face I got when I told them I was having a baby!

I don't think Max and Claire really understood what I was telling them.  Later that night I tried explaining again and Claire doesn't believe me because I am not showing!  I still have to pinch myself. Hard to believe I am actually pregnant.  After my ectopic pregnancy back in March, I have been a mess.  My anxiety has been super high in between appointments, but happy to report this little pumpkin is doing great!

Since I lost my tubes in the ectopic pregnancy, our only option for #3 was a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET).  Thankfully, we had four frozen embryos from when we did IVF with Max and Claire. We only transferred ONE embryo ;)

Next project: Moving! We are outgrowing our current house and will be on the market around Spring next year. We decided to stay in our house until #3 arrives and will make the space work until we find/build a new house!  This weekend we are filling boxes and deciding what furniture can go ahead and go in a storage unit.

Fall Fun!

The past couple of weekends have been full of fall fun!  There has been bounce houses, trucks, pumpkin painting and character fun!

Making Halloween necklaces

They spent 1.5 hours outside painting!

Max loved all the characters.... Claire, on the other hand, would cling to me and cry!

Claire loved the band! She was in front row for multiple songs!

Fun times with these kiddos!

So, It's Been a While

It's been over two weeks since I last blogged.  Since then, I've aged.  Had my 33rd birthday yesterday, the 12th.
Saturday night we went out to dinner with friends!

And Sunday, we had dinner and cake at my Parents' house.

Max crying bc we told him he couldn't eat the party hat!

Mom made my favorite pound cake.  The best part is the top and since it was my birthday cake, I got the whole top!

In other news, I've just been keeping up with two wild three year olds!  They have been keeping me busy and are funnier than ever!

We rejoined The Natural Science Center and visited the Tigers

and survived tornado like winds!

Went to a fall festival! Only it was 80 degrees!

And two of my favorite cell phone pictures:  Max likes to sleep with a toy at night.  This particular night he had a tight grip on this circus toy for hours! The other day during nap, he slept with his new batman rain boots! Love him... sweetest boy ever!

The other day I had an audience while mowing the grass! Claire is sitting in her doll stroller saying The Pledge of Allegiance!  Girl cracks me up!

Not much else going on. Hope to be back to blogging more frequently!
