Can't Wait!

Nathan is so excited about being a big brother. We have been talking about it a lot lately. He loves to give the baby hugs and pat the baby. When I ask him if he is going to be a good big brother he confidently says "yep". Every night after he gives me a hug he has to give the baby a hug too. It is so sweet and we all can't wait to meet our little bundle of joy.

Halloween

I know that Halloween was almost a month ago but we had so much fun I had to post pictures anyway. Nathan was fireman and his costume turned out so cute. He loved wearing it too. Especially the hat and boots. He eventually figured out the whole Trick or Treating thing and we had so much fun taking him around the neighborhood and doing the Trunk or Treat.

Our friends the Kings came for a visit from Washington. Lisa and I are best friends and we always laugh about how connected we are. Well our children's costumes prove it. We didn't know what each was going to be and it just happened that we had a fireman and a Dalmatian. Ryan and I attended an adult only costume party that was an absolute blast!! We got really creative with our costumes and had fun making them. Since I was 8 months pregnant I wanted to incorporate it into the costume. So here we are the Bun in the Oven and the Bun Maker. We won for most creative couple.
During the month of October we spent some time doing fun things with our playgroup. This is our group at Engh Gardens. I am so glad to have such an awesome group of moms to hang out with.

Two Weeks to Go!

Well I officially have an induction date of November 23rd. We are so excited!! Only two weeks away. It will be here before we know it.

P.S. I apologize for the blog neglect. I hope to catch up sometime but don't be surprised if that doesn't happen soon.

Counting Down

Pregnancy is an amazing time for me. It is so awesome to think about the little miracle developing inside. This pregnancy has gone by so fast and we now have less then 10 weeks before our new little baby boy is here. The count down has begun and it is going to be here before we know it. Our family is so excited to meet this new little guy. Nathan has now figured out that there is a baby in mommy's tummy and he loves to softly pat my tummy. It is very sweet and we think he is going to be a good big brother. In just a few months our lives are going to change once again. Some days I think time passes way too quickly and that is why I am trying to enjoy every moment.

Beautiful Baby Bump!

Here it is, a picture of the baby bump. This is at 20 weeks and I am now 25. It has gone by so fast! I love being pregnant and I have one active little guy in there. He is moving a lot these days. Our family is so excited. Nathan hasn't really caught on to the whole idea of a baby. But he is pretty smart and does notice that there is something different. He really likes other kids and is especially drawn to babies so we are hoping that sticks when our new guy becomes a part of our family.

My family brings me so much joy and we feel so blessed to have our family grow. A baby is truly a miracle and gift from heaven. I absolutely love being a mother and cherish that role. We can't wait to meet this new little guy!

Summer Fun

We have had an awesome summer full of swimming, playing outdoors, spending time with friends, family visits, and trips to the Zoo. Nathan really enjoys being outside especially to play in the sandbox Ryan made for him. He also really loves swimming and has progressed so much this summer. Nathan and I have been doing parent-tot swim classes together but now he is ready for private lessons. We are so proud of Nathan. He is such a big boy and growing so fast. Just within the last months he has increased his vocabulary, learned how to climb and jump off all of the furniture, and many more fun things. He is all boy and loves anything with wheels. We have had lots of fun times this summer and ended it with a short trip to the Unitas. It was beautiful and so refreshing and Nathan is a good little camper.
