Baby Bach #2 - 20 weeks

Wow, hard to believe we are 1/2 way there and will be meeting you in 20 weeks (or less). We've been really busy with the Holidays and getting your Big Brother all set in his "Big" Boy room.  We really want to have him sleeping in there before Christmas. You'll be taking over his bedroom when you arrive and using his crib. I got out a bunch of storage bins filled with Baby Clothes, Swaddles, etc. and it is really starting to feel like you will be here soon! We are very excited to meet you!

This on top of the holidays has kept both Me and your Daddy very busy! Below are some pics of our christmas tree this year as well as the house. This year we actually put out some reindeer and a snowman. Your Big Brother is obsessed with The Polar Express this year too and his train set. I think we've already watched Polar Express 10 times and it's only December 6th :). It's ok - that story is a classic and we love it too!

We also had our big ultrasound and got to see you again :). You are very healthy so far and that was a big relief for us. You were breach and very low in mommies belly, so it took us awhile to get all of the photos we needed. You were also being very shy and wouldn't let us see your face (as you can see below).

The ultrasound tech even let your dad hear you again, which he was very excited about.


Below is a picture of me from yesterday. I definitely feel bigger with you than I did with your brother. Overall though I have a lot of energy right now (which is a good thing).

I head to the Doctor on Tuesday, so hopefully things will continue to go well. I continue to pray every night that you are healthy. I'm also praying that the world becomes a better place for you and your brother. There has been some tragedy in Paris as well as here in the USA and the president will address the nation tonight. Here is to hoping something changes and you both can live in a safe, happy world! 

We love you Baby Boy! 

And then we were a family of 4...

It's been a very long time since I posted on this blog, but since it's something I did for Evan it's also something that I want to try and keep up with for our new addition. Eventually my goal is to print out this blog and add it into their baby books.

So..as you've probably already gotten from the above paragraph. We are expecting baby #2!!

Evan is going to be a big brother in April 2016. We are very excited for Evan to be a big brother and have a sibling to grow up with sharing memories and (hopefully) becoming best friends and supporting each other through life. I am also very excited to have a spring baby when their is also new "life" outdoors and the sunlight stays out a bit longer :).

I will be 16 weeks on Monday, so we are officially through the first trimester. The baby is healthy and we continue to pray every night that it stays that way. The first trimester seemed a little rougher than it did with Evan, but I think it's because I just didn't have as much time to rest (aka chasing a 3 year old). Overall, I can't complain though and was not super sick.

We announced our pregnancy in mid-October and had some really great photos to share with everyone. I found these ideas on pinterest, and I'm super happy with the way they came out.

We also decided that the new baby will take over Evan's current room and crib. We are going to  move Evan into a new bedroom and are in the process of redoing this room. I saw another really cool idea on Pinterest to add wood on an accent wall. We are running with it and so far it looks awesome!

I'll try and keep up with this at least once a month. Here we all go on another adventure :) Evan still totally dosen't get that he is going to be a big brother. He says he will give his new sibling his "bed" and the baby is in mommies belly. That is about it though. We've got some work to do in that department :)
