pregnancy so far...

This pregnancy has gone great as far as pregnancy goes. My anxiety is starting to slow down a bit since I can feel the sweet baby moving now. I absolutely LOVE that feeling. I had a little bit of spotting in the beginning but nothing to worry about since so we are chugging along. I had an ultrasound last week and we were able to see that it was a GIRl!! we are soo excited and Bailee couldn't be happier to know she will finally get her little sister. I am soo excited for bows and dresses and little tights and little shiny shoes. Jeans and t shirts do get old after a while...haha but we will be able to dress this little girl of ours so cute, I cant wait. Here is a picture of me at 18.5 weeks preggo, I'm definatley getting bigger, I love pregnant bellies.

New playground







I finally convinced Mike that we needed a playground for our backyard. So now that the weather is nice we went and bought one. The kids love it and play outside all the time now which is pretty nice. Mike said if we ever buy another house than we better find one that already has a playground because he doesnt want to have to put another one together. Here are some pics of him, my dad and Paul helping put it together.

Lincoln turns 1





I cant believe my baby is one. i really don't know where all the time went this past year. It's definately hard with 3 kids but I can finally say I'm getting used to it now. Good thing because pretty soon I will add another sweet baby and things will get crazier. Lincoln has been such a sweet blessing in our lives. After all the heart break and loss that we went through he makes it all seem better somehow. I still wonder what those babies would have been like and what they would look like but I am soo greatful for the sweet family I get to enjoy here on earth.

Lincoln says a few words that are so cute. He says "puppy" when he sees ANY animal, its so cute. He says "outside" all the time and the minute the back door opens and the kids go out he comes out of know where to go outside with them. He says "mommy and daddy" and recently I taught him how to say "please" he doesnt actually say it like we do but I was getting really tired of him screaming everytime we had food so I taught him in a nice voice to say please and now he doesnt hardly scream anymore and actually uses a really soft voice and says please until he gets some food. Every day I enjoy this boy more and more and feel so lucky that we were blessed to have him in our family.

A couple of months ago we had my awesome friend Tara Bowman take some family pictures of us and they turned out soo cute. There are so many to show but it would take all day to upload them that I'm just posting a few.
