Mommy to be AGAIN!!!

This is the shirt I wore for Christmas Eve

Our new 8 week old peanut.

12 weeks

12 weeks again

Paul and I found out that we are expecting again. I was a little worried at first on how I was going to handle having three little ones. But just like I told the kids we are pros now. :) I found out at four weeks along which I thought was going to make for a long pregnancy, but it has been flying super fast, probably due to chasing around the little guys and being busy with Nadalie and Rachel's activites. I have been really really sick with this baby compared to my other pregnancies. That has been harder on me. No rest for this mama. We are due June 26th. It is a week after my father's birthday. And usually I get induced a week before. I am not looking for a long exhausting labor like Ryan's nor the aches and pains of being pregnant. This is it for me. I never want to be pregnant again! I know it is early but I am feeling the baby move now. Little flutters. I am wondering if it is because this is baby number 5? Or maybe that it is because I know what I am feeling? The girls are VERY excited now, a bit shocked at first. But they sure love babies. I think Rachel is secretly hoping for a girl. It would be so much easier with another boy since I have clothes, although having a girl together would be nice. I am feeling pretty good now. Still a bit tired but I think that is going to be something that is going to stay through the entire pregnancy.

Collin the cowboy and Ryan the ninja. And trust me he is a scary ninja :)

Birthday present

Collin turned two this past October. I made him a blueberry cake, because blueberries are the boys favorite food. I can't believe how big my boy has gotten. Some of Collin's favorite things to do is play with cars. He lines them up like my nephew Kyrin used to do, in a perfect line. He loves to watch the Little Peoples show. We can't get through the day with out him asking to watch that. He is saying so many new words and multiple words together. I am so proud of what a big boy he is. We tried potty training a little bit. But he only has gone once and really does not want much to do with the potty just yet. We will keep trying :)

Big Boy turns 1

He is very gentle with the cake, unlike the other kids who tore theirs to pieces.

My little guy turned 1 in September. I can hardly believe how fast the year flew by. Ryan started walking at 10 months and talking shortly after. His favorite word is "ready". That is his way of telling me he wants out of the house. He makes the funniest faces and we have learned that if you make the faces right back to him, he will smile.

I am 10 + pounds lighter :) I have started back to college also. I found a Registered Dietician certificate program that can be done with a previous bachelor's degree, which is soooo me. I guess it is something that has interested me my entire life. Most of my classes I can take at Sinclair which is great because it is so much closer and it is less expensive plus it is great to get out of the house to prevent stay at home mom's burnout. :)
