Our little man at Three months

Isaac passed the three month mark a couple weeks ago (had this blog all typed up but with slow internet was unable to post till today!)

I have enjoyed every minute of being his mom (yes including the sleepless nights!)
  • He is getting to be a big boy-although we won't go to the doctor again until four months I think-he seems to be around 12 pounds.
  • He has started blowing bubbles-I've mostly noticed this when he is hungry.
  • He started giggling and it's the cutest thing ever!
  • He smiles often and especially loves seeing mommy, daddy or Karis to smile at.  Friends and even strangers are often excited when he flashes them a little grin.  I'm thankful for my happy boy!
  • He grabs fabric (like his burp cloth or bib) when it's nearby and will hold a toy if you put it in his hand for him but won't hold onto it very long.
  • He still doesn't sleep through the night but has given us an occaional 5-7 hour stretch which is always refreshing. 
  • He doesn't stay too consistent on any type of schedule, but I'm finding that's a bit hard to do with having a toddler around too.  For example...sometimes he just wants to be held and I end up strapping him on me in the sling and then he falls asleep when maybe he would have normally been awake.  I haven't been as "strict" with him about scheduling as I was with Karis and I'm ok with that.  No sense in being bound to a rigid schedule if I don't have to.  As he gets a little bigger I'm sure he'll settle more into his own little routine, but until then I'm embracing this part about having a three month old and an (almost) two year old!
Here are some pictures of our little man:

but he was still happy...he was a trooper on this

Hey, I'm getting better at this "holding my head up" bit

similar to his sissy, he is one very happy baby!

Adding to the Family!

Sitting down to write this blog post has been a long time coming (well at least 20 weeks or so!) But we are excited to announce that we are expecting our fourth child! Below, you will see some pictures highlighting parts of this pregnancy so far and also I talk about the name we have chosen for our little guy. Enjoy! I'm starting with this picture, because this little guy (left) pictured here with our son Isaac, I like to say is the reason we are having another baby, haha! Isaac has been smitten with this little one since he first held him as a baby two years ago and he began praying we would have another baby, specifically a boy! It's such a neat part of this story to me and I'm so thankful for our son's heart ( and friends who have cute kiddos!) This was taken right after we told the kids I was pregnant. We bought them a book titled "New Baby" and it took a while for them to clue in, because we have several friends that are currently pregnant...

Dear Grandma...

Today is my grandmother's birthday. This is a big deal. Today she celebrates 93 full and amazing years here on earth. My grandma is a special lady (more on that in a minute) and the only grandparent I ever knew (long story for another time). I often think it's amazing that my kids get to know all four of their grandparents, and we cherish the moments when we are all together. The past couple of years have been a bit up and down for my grandma in regard to her health and honestly I hate being across the world during this time and also a bit envious when my brothers and cousins get to visit her when they are able (so all y'all give her a hug when you see her next for me!) It's never easy being apart from family, but especially when one is ill. So I write, because it's what I can do...no she's not going to be on Facebook reading the link to our blog, but I know my mom will gladly call her and read this to her. So grandma, here is my birthday present to you! Dea...

Surprise Arrival!

This is a long post. But many of you have asked about the story of Milo's arrival. So I wanted to take time to write it out, details and all. But  for those who don't want to read the entire story with all the details, feel free to scroll through and just look at the pictures! A lot of you were shocked to hear of his arrival...so were we! (After all, we were still 25 days out from his due date when he made his appearance). I had just gone to my 36 week checkup two days prior, all was healthy and well with baby and with me and there were no signs of early labor. At that appointment, the doctor said that I was 1 cm dilated, but honesty I knew I could be at that for several weeks before seeing any progress to labor. I had a long list of nesting projects I had been slowly working on and was hoping to finish before Milo’s arrival.  Thursday morning rolled around, I realized I was beginning to show signs of possible labor nearing, but still wasn’t too alarmed just yet, after all...
