Baby #2

Baby #2 is happy and healthy and 12 weeks along already! Can't believe how fast the first trimester has gone! We are so excited to welcome another little blessing into our family! :)

We have decided to do an all natural birth at a birthing center (weather permitting since the birthing center is in Omaha)! I am a little nervous but so excited to experience child birth again and this time without the assistance of an epidural! I truly believe that God is going to give me the strength I need to do it! :) 

Bailey is a busy busy 10 month old! She experienced her first night of fireworks and really seemed to enjoy them! She is crawling everywhere and pulling herself up on anything that will hold her weight! Her first birthday is right around the corner....I have a feeling she might be walking before I'm ready for her to start! She keeps me on my toes, that's for sure! 

Bailey has a secret to tell...

...she is going to be a BIG SISTER! 

You can't see it in the picture above but her shirt says BIG SIS! We are so excited to finally let all of our friends and family know our exciting news! We had an ultrasound this week and we are 7 weeks along which puts our due date January 22, 2013! Obviously we still have a ways to go but we just couldn't wait any longer to share our news with everyone! 

We will keep you posted as we will have another appointment in a few weeks! I am feeling great, just had a little bit of nausea during the last week but feeling much better this week! We are so blessed to have another little blessing on the way and pray that the Lord would prepare us for this next season in our life as parents of two children (yes, the doctor confirmed there is only ONE baby in there)! 

Stay tuned....more updates to come very soon!

Spring has Sprung

Wow, the weather has been AWESOME here in Nebraska! Bailey and I have been enjoying walks out in the sunshine! As a recent 7 month old, Bailey is rolling over with style whenever she has a chance (including while I am changing her diaper)! She babbles and screeches as she is trying to figure out how to control her vocal cords! It won't be long until we have a crawler!

A few month back I thought it would be a great idea to sign up for a half marathon in June here in Kearney. I am in one of my close friend's wedding on June 23rd so I thought, "What a great way to get in shape for summer!" Well, friends, I have officially entered the 12 week count down and still have not started my training....It's harder than I thought to work out with a baby in tow. Hopefully with this nice weather, Bailey and I will break in the jogging stroller and actually JOG with it....I will keep you posted!

For those of you who may have missed my recent video post of Bailey, here it is:

Nathan and I are loving watching Bailey learn new things everyday! Hopefully I will have a better report for you on my half marathon training by the next time I post! Well, I have 15 more minutes until my little angel wakes up from her nap so I better get going! Until next time...
