Big Arterbury News...

So we are expecting our second child at the end of April 2014.  We found out we were pregnant about 2-3 months ago and I kept forgetting to post the news.  I guess things already do die down for the second child.  We also found out on Halloween that we are having a boy!!  The doctor said that it's 98% it's a boy after my first ultrasound during my first trimester testing.  We are ecstatic!!!
It's funny with the second pregnancy...sometimes I forget that I'm pregnant and sometimes I feel worse than I did with my first pregnancy.  I'm glad the first trimester is over and now I'm just getting bigger and bigger each week.  All the tests have come out great and the date I most likely will have my c-section is April 30th, if not before.
For the time being, we are chasing around Lydia and moving things around in our little house to make room for baby boy.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lydia!!!

Lydia turned 3 years old this year.  We had a small family party with our immediate family and then a small party with all her friends on the street block.  And her nanny was so sweet and threw her a little party with all her friends she plays with on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  By the end of the week I was all partied out.  She wore her princess dresses the entire week and had a lot of cake.  She really had a great birthday!






It's Been A While...

It's taken me a while to gather pictures and such for my next blog and somehow I"m super busy and keep slacking.

Here are our many wonderful updates:

New Member of the Family:
My sister had a beautiful baby girl back on August 7th, Kiernan Margie.  She is now 4 months old and smiling and cooing like  no other.  Lydia is smitten with her and is a very good big cousin.  Her job has been to give Kiernan her pacifier when she starts crying and she's become a pro at it.  Lydia loves watching Kiernan and loves trying to either calm her down or make her laugh.  It's been great having a newborn around and so close.  Mary and Brendan moved just 4 blocks away from us so we take walks to their house often.  Harley likes having Huckleberry so close too, or at least another backyard to play in.


Trip to the Ranch (Ricca's parent's ranch):
Ricca invited us to her parent's ranch for a Sunday lunch.  The girls had a lot of fun feeding the horses and playing around.


Halloween:
Lydia was the cutest Minnie Mouse this Halloween.  This might be the last time I have any influence on what or who she is for Halloween.  She had a great time at all the festivities from the school parade to the block party.  She was so sweet that after we ran out of candy she wanted to give away her own candy to the kids who came up to the house.
