Belly Pictures!!

Am I really having two more babies in June? Ethan keeps me so busy I tend to forget they are coming! When I was pregnant with E I had all the appointments scheduled ahead of time, counted down the days to know his gender, planned the nursery, looked at names, day dreamed about having him. Now I have barely even thought about the triple stroller or the 2 more cribs we will need and these babies are lucky if we remember a belly pic or even mention them on the blog. So to make up for my slacking here are a couple belly pics and a pic of the babies.


4 weeks

This is actually major IVF bloat, technically known as ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, and it sucks. It is super painful (it caused partial ovarian torsion which was the most painful thing ever), it makes breathing hard and overall just sucks!! But I got through it and according to the doctors only had a mild case. I cannot imagine a severe case.

10 weeks


15 weeks

The babies at 12 weeks

Ethan's 1st Hair Cut

Yes, we cut Ethan's hair....or lack of hair!! He really doesn't have much hair yet but he was sprouting some long locks on the top back part of his head (he had this hot comb forward going on) in addition to the cute tail that was growing down his neck.

(no idea whats coming)

Obviously he was not happy about getting his hair cut

Jakey also got a hair cut with Ethan and didn't cry nearly at all compared to little E, probably becase we promised Jake that if he was a big boy for the hair cut we could all go to Chucky Cheese afterwards. So here are a couple pictures of Ethan's 1st visit to Chucky Cheese

1 year stats!

Ethan turned 1 last month!!! I can't believe he is now 13 months. My little baby is such the toddler now!!

Height: 31 1/2 inches (90%)


Weight: 23 pounds (50%)


Head: I am not sure of measurement (85%)


He has always been average for his head...so it's funny that he is now on the bigger side for the head. But he is still our super tall little man!!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas. A little busy (as usual) but still lots of fun with the family. Here are a fewof the pictures from the week long festivities.

He wanted to play with the toys...he didn't really care about unwrapping the presents.

Ethan's 1st Birthday

Ethan's birthday party was over a month ago but I know some of you who couldn't make it wanted to see pictures. We invited our families and friends so it was mainly adults but there were a few kids....next year the kids might out number the adults... a lot of us are pregnant. I found monkey stuffed animals and you stuff them yourself so we had a little "build-a-monkey" table. The kids seemed to love it!!

The cakes!

Ethan wasn't too sure about everyone singing "happy birthday" to him

He wasn't happy about the cake. He wanted nothing to do with it....maybe because it "allergy friendly"...no eggs, no dairy, no wheat, etc. Oh well, it was worth a try!
We put Cheerios on it in hopes he would dig in but no luck!

But he loved opening the presents and couldn't wait for all his new toys!

Thank you everyone who helped Ethan celebrate his birthday! We had a great time!!

We had snow!!

Back in December we had snow. We don't get snow here very often (maybe once every few years) so it was awesome to get this much snow. The schools were closed and kids were snowboarding and sledding down the hills. Ethan wasn't a big fan of the snow...maybe next time!

Long time...no post...

Wow, I have been a major slacker on the blog!

Since my last post we celebrated Ethan's 1st Thanksgiving, took him on the "train of lights", and most importantly Ethan turned 1!!

Okay I am working on blog post to catch up! But I can't end the post with no updates or pictures so here is our big news for today!

Ethan's going to be a big brother this June!!

And in even bigger news..............

We are pregnant with TWINS!

We will have 3 kids under the age of 18 months.....wow!!!
