Oh my, how time does fly!
We can't believe it's already been a year!
You've brought so much joy and life to our little, growing family!
How blessed we are to have you in it!
You are such a precious gift from our loving Saviour!
Happy Birthday, sweet baby boy!

Our little pear

I'm 15 weeks now with sweet baby #3, and am starting to show. Actually, my belly began popping out around week 11 or 12. That's what happens when you have 3 babies in less than 3 years, I suppose. Good thing is I still haven't even reached my starting weight with the last two! Bad news is my winter maternity clothes are two sizes too big since I was wearing them in the last few months with Noah (at which time I was as big as a house!) I'm still so glad I lost all that extra weight this summer. It really has made the beginning of this pregnancy much easier so far. I usually have sciatica by week 10 or 12, but not even a sign of it yet. I really don't even feel like I'm carrying any extra weight yet. It's nice...and helpful when I now have two little boys pulling on me all and begging to be picked up all day long! :) Coming soon...photos of our sweet little pear! We'll find out the gender on January 19th! I was thinking it was a girl for the longest time, but recently have decided that's probably just wishful thinking (not that I don't absolutely love and adore my sweet boys!) I started getting sick at week 11 (Thanksgiving) in the same exact way I did with James, so who knows?! We'll just have to wait and see! I'll keep you all posted!

New Year's Resolutions

I have a lot of them this year, somewhere around 25 or so already. And of course, one of them is to update our blog...weekly, possibly daily. We'll see how that one goes. Until then, I apologize to all the family and grandparents viewing this hoping to see pics. We have tons of them, but we've all been sick since before Thanksgiving and I've barely been keeping "my head above water" this month. It makes me so sad too, because December really has to be one of my favorite months of the year and we've hardly been out to enjoy it with others and truly appreciate all the wonderful Advent activities our little city has to offer. Hopefully I'll catch up soon...on everything!
