and we are walking...

 E finally took his first steps and is now walking ALL over the place! He is so proud of himself it is so cute. He gets to walking and he giggles the whole way thinking he is a mini Superman. It is so weird to see my lil BIG man walking, this little person just cruising around following me wherever I go. We had a great weekend and enjoyed spending Father's day with the family. Brian is such an amazing dad it is so beyond ridiculous, E is his little buddy, he cannot wait till he gets home from work and we facetime him throughout the day on the phone.  Not to mention everything he has been doing lately while I have been feeling so bad, he is our very own Superman.  Hope everyone had a great weekend and is enjoying the week so far!

FL here we come...

We are still here, searching for the light at the end of the tunnel,still, hoping it will arrive soon! Being preggo with twins has proven to be A LOT more challenging than when I was preggo with E. I have yet to feel good let alone even normal. I am still sick, not as often but now am battling with low blood pressure which makes me dizzy alllll day and all night long. So I am still a mess, but I am a mess with some more BIG news, as if we need anymore this year!
    My big news to share is that we are making the BIG move back to FL! We knew it was just a matter of time when but never expected this news along with all of our other exciting news! I am so proud of my hubby for the big promotion and we are very excited to get back to family! We will miss it greatly here and I never thought I would say that because when you think about Mississippi most people are like really, but once you live here there is just something about it that sticks to you. We will miss the people and all the great friends we have made.  So as this next chapter in our lives begin we are excited, thrilled and sad to be leaving as well. We hope to be there in the next couple of months before someone gets too preggo and once we find a house! Please everyone say your prayers for a smooth transition for all especially our sweet Mississippi kitty Cricket who will be making the big move with us and transition into a full house kitty. We have lots of change coming our way this year but are so excited!! I will keep you updated on the process and house hunt!

summer...

        Sorry for the lack of posts lately I have been suffering from the horrible 1st trimester curse x 2. To say this pregnancy so far has been a breeze would be a total lie, it has been anything but. I have never felt so sick, ever. I am hoping that there is a light at the end of the tunnel soon. I have to give a HUGE thanks to my fantastic husband who has been picking up my slack with everything, he is so awesome. We had a great relaxing Memorial day weekend not doing too much. Below are the pics from the weekend mixed with some from our trip to FL that I never posted. I will try to post more often in the days/weeks to come but I am not going to lie it might not happen, chasing after a 1 year old feeling like I do leaves me no spare time to do anything but lay down. Here's to hoping the second trimester brings feelings of normalcy again.

happy birthday Easton....

      We are slowly recovering from our trip to FL and Trinidad and Tobago. We went to FL to spend a few days with family and friends and also celebrated E's Birthday a week early so we could spend it with all of our family. Then Brian and I headed to Trinidad and Tobago for a little work and R&R. We had a great time and E had a blast with his cupcakes and presents. I cannot believe it was a year ago today that this little man changed our lives forever. Happy Birthday to my sweet,sweet Easton.

big bro...

In light of our expanding news a new shirt for the new BIG BRO...

double the fun...

   To find words for this post took me a little while to come up with. I guess there is no way to say it other than we found out a little while ago Easton is going to be a BIG BROTHER! It was a fabulous surprise that we were not expecting so soon. Being so blessed to have another baby is beyond words, we are so excited. Soon after we found out that E is going to be a big brother my mind starts turning boy/girl, 4 am feedings, car seats, nursery, oh no we are going to have to get a double stroller since the babes will only be 19months apart, shew! Anyways I had a couple of weeks to digest the fact that I will have two little ones under the age of 19 months and I did in fact digest it and accept this will be our new family come December. Exciting. Our sweet family of soon to be 4.
    This pregnancy so far has been SOO much worse nausea and throwing up wise. It is like a clock turns on at 3 am and it is downhill from there until 3pm. With Easton I was nauseous all day, threw up maybe a total of 5 times. This go around I am lucky to only throw up 5 times a day. It has progressively gotten worse each day my feet touch the ground, cramping and pains that were so strong sent us to the doctor a day early.
   Brian and I headed into the doctors while our sweet friend Vicky watched our little E. We got there and the ultrasound is always first before we go see the doc. So as the lady started the ultrasound she started with the normal questions, first baby?, how many pregnancies?, how sick?, problems?, yadayadayada, then came quiet and she asked if we were trying?, no we said. then came the IVF question, and again no. Starting to get a bit nervous as she became VERY VERY quiet and slowly the words came out of her mouth, "hm, well there are two sacks." two sacks , what the heck does that mean, I said. She replied "two babies." The moments after that are a blur that I do not remember AT ALL. It was SHOCKING SHOCKING news since we do NOT have twins in our families!!!  I am still processing this news that is exciting, shocking, stunning, nerve racking. I think it will take a little while for the fact to set in that there are 2 babies in my belly, not 1 and now we will have a 3 kids under the age of 18months ( noticed I moved it up a month since twins come early). I still point the finger at my sweet husband who all along since we were pregnant said he had a feeling it was twins, that was quickly smashed by me saying its not even a possibility! ( news flash it definitely is a possibility even if you don't have twins in your family or don't do IVF) So all I have to say is we are thrilled in a surprising way that no matter what kind of plans you have for your life God has something A LOT BIGGER planned. So in the next upcoming months I will be taking names for anyone that would love to volunteer around November 22 and after. ( Just kidding, well maybe not so much) As shocking as this news is and as much as I wasn't at all expecting it, I am SO blessed to already have a beautiful family that I love more than words and cannot wait to add two more beautiful, hopefully redhead, babies to the addition.  Here is the the pic below of our TWO little ones. BTW that double stroller just turned into a triple stroller, eek!

Easter...

Sorry for no post lately, I honestly haven't had any pics to post so I will make up for that in the cute-ness of these photos below. We spent Easter Sunday with Brian's parents at Brian's grandmothers in Louisville about an hour from here, we had a great time.  I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! By the way my baby is 11 months old now!
