It's a BOY!

It's been a long time again.  I am hoping to use this as a sort of journal while pregnant with what will be our last child,  a little boy due in April 2014.  I found out I was pregnant when only 4 weeks pregnant and had to tell family pretty quick as we were going to be spending 2 weeks with Sam's family that month in England.  I was 5 weeks along in England and 7 weeks by the time we got home.  By 12 weeks we already found out we were having a little boy via a blood test during a genetics screening.  We have confirmed it is a little boy through a recent ultrasound, and boy is he a boy!  haha.  

My first trimester was exhausting, I've never been so tired in my whole life.  I woke up feeling exhausted.  I napped every single day when Piper napped, I was really sick of napping.  It consumed my life!  Once I finally got over there I got sick.  Once I finally got over being sick, I pulled my groin!  So I haven't been 100% in months and it's annoying and depressing. I think I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel but we'll see how my 3rd trimester treats me!  I really took for granted feeling so amazing with my 1st pregnancy.  I am thankful I never suffered morning sickness but being super tired and out of it all the time is just as awful.  I am going to a chiropractor now for my back and am wearing an external maternity belt to help with groin and round ligament pains.  Piper will be 6 weeks away from turning 3 years old when her baby brother is born.  We pretty much already know the day the baby will be born since I have to have a repeat c-section.  Weird being able to choose his birthday!  

I was excited and also scared when I found out I was pregnant.  It just makes me sad knowing I won't have my full attention on Piper anymore but I know once this little baby comes that it won't worry me so much.  I'm already getting use to not being able to focus on her very much since this pregnancy feels like it's taken over my life.  She is just at an amazing age right now.  She is so loving, sweet and learning so much every day, but also has her "hyper piper" moments and I know she will keep this little baby fully entertained!  Here are a few pictures and I that's really all I have to say right now!

A Year Flies!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last wrote.  I totally forgot I even had a blog, let alone finding the time to blog.  I wish I would have kept up with it more because it's so much fun to look back at it.  Well, Piper turns 2 in a couple of months and I can't believe it!  She is very very active, running everywhere, loves to spend as much time as she can outside, and goes to Mother's Day Out twice a week and really enjoys it.  Since our trip to Belize we all went to Spain for over a week to spend lots of good quality time with Sam's family.  It was a great trip even though it took forever to get there, and with a 1 year old - it was super exhausting!  I don't think we've flown since then ha.  Sam and I had our first weekend away for our 5 year anniversary in September.  We spent 3 nights in Austin and had so much fun.  Piper spent 1 night with my sister and 2 nights with my parents.  I am hoping we can take another trip just the 2 of us before we get pregnant with #2.  Which is TBD ;)  Oh also Sam's mum Val came over to see us in Houston for Thanksgiving and got to spend a lot of time loving on her only granddaughter, reading her stories, getting up with her in the mornings, it was a great visit!  Coming up we have a trip to Connecticut with Sam's parents, sister Jemima and her husband Andrew and son Alex.  Then in August we will spend 2 weeks in the UK for Sam's cousin's wedding.  Which means we will spend Christmas here in Houston again, yay!  Waking up in our own house this past Christmas and watching Piper open her stockings in our bed was so special, I want to do that every single year!  Alright, that is all for now - here are some pictures.  I have so much more to update but can't even think of it all!
