We're having a . . .

BOY!

We couldn't be more excited! This was an ultrasound taken right at 16 weeks. Once again, it didn't take the technician long to find out the baby's gender (just like Logan). We took the kids with us this time and Logan couldn't get enough of watching the "baby in Mommy's tummy." He is still talking about my "check-up" a couple weeks later. He now understands its a baby brother in mommy's tummy. He likes to count our family members on his fingers and he'll pronounce, "there's 5 in our family!" It sure makes my heart swell. We'll have another ultrasound in the middle of April to check his size and everything. He sure has a cute profile and I can't wait to meet him. I've been feeling the newborn craving lately and I just want to nuzzle him in.

Norah doesn't quite get the concept yet but I have a feeling she'll want to be my little helper. We need to work on transitioning her into a bed before September. I can't believe she's that old. We debated between letting her stay in the crib and putting the new baby in the pack n' play, but it just didn't feel right. I guess that can be our second option if she absolutely hates the bed. 

Another big change that will hopefully happen before September is MOVING! We've been house searching the last 2 weeks and hope to find something soon. Wish us luck!

    

Spring

 We've been loving this sunny weather recently. I cleaned off the outside toys and let the kids run around. Logan was busy playing with the neighbor kids, but I got a couple of sweet shots of my little babe.

I love her look of concentration trying to walk down a little hill.

Happy Spring!

St. Patty's Day

 I didn't do anything special for St. Patrick's Day. Some moms (and dads) are so creative and I just wasn't feeling it this year. Maybe its because Easter is early?

I tried to get a shot of the kids wearing green but they weren't the most willing models.

For a FHE treat this week we made green rice krispie treats. Logan was a good helper and taster in the kitchen, as always. 

And since the holiday fell on a Sunday, here's Logan looking dapper in his bowtie.

Such a handsome little man. He was excited to wear it.

Maybe next year I'll put in a little more effort!

Just who does she think she is?

I'm in trouble with this one.

Bump

First official baby bump photo! Today marks 3 months!

At 3 Months:

-my clothes are starting to get a little tight

-a couple people have been brave enough to ask me if I'm expecting instead of speculating

-I have a little more energy

-I'm hungry ALL THE TIME

-weird pregnancy dreams have begun

Cooped Up

This winter was rough (I say "was" hoping that spring is officially here to stay). Here are a few things we did to keep ourselves busy:

art projects

 playing in new snow boots (mostly inside)

going out to fun places like the aquarium

playing with new toys

 

and when there was any sign of sunshine, going for walks.

Fortunately the snow has melted and we've been enjoying more and more sunshine! Hooray for spring!

Couldn't be happier to bring another Bradshaw into our family!
