Week 50-Yobs

Our little family of three had a sneaking suspicion what the gender of baby #2 would be. 

I had a dream clear back in spring before I was even pregnant, 

Couper had a strong feeling,

and Em just follows her heart.

Although it was no surprise to us, 

we were elated to have our thoughts confirmed and

be able to share with confidence that Em is going to have a 

BABY BROTHER!

Doesn't HE look adorable already!? HE definitely wasn't shy about letting us know he's all BOY!

We celebrated the fun news with lunch and treats at Gourmandise. 

These are our attempts to snap a hurried photo to spread the news quickly to family...

hence "yob" instead of "boy". Most people got the idea.

Em was so much fun to pick out outfits with! She's in love with her baseball outfit choice, with matching red shoes. She's seriously going to make an amazing big sister!

Week 45-First baby pictures

 Yay! Baby's heartbeat and first ultrasound!

I was so impatient to have to wait until I was 15 weeks along to hear this little one's heart and have some reassurance and reality really kick in.  I had some insecurities about starting fresh at a new doctor's office and meeting my new doctor. Happy to announce all is well and we're in good hands. ;) We weren't sure how Em would handle the doctors appointment, but she was ADORABLE! Couper held her during the ultra sound and the minute an image popped up on the screen she shouted, "There it is! I see it!" Already a proud big sister.

Hurray for cute "baby" baby bumps in those early months.

Week 43-A Bump

I made this sign for Couper back in August. 

Many changes have been underway for us!

Love starting to see that bump! Although there have been many insecurities along the way these first three months, we are extremely excited to be welcoming another addition to our family next spring! Been dealing with nausea most of the day and EXTREME fatigue/lack of motivation. All seems well so far, but counting down the days until insurance kicks in so we can here little one's heart beat!

One of our random adventures to soak up any sun left this year. (Also helps to ignore feeling yuck!) 

We ended up at a trout farm and were the only ones there! Em thought she was so grown up feeding those fish and ducks, and walked around like she owned the place. We also landed ourselves at a fun Castle Park for lunch where the swings overlook a field of grazing horses! Pretty sure we covered many of Em's favorite things all in one morning!
