We're Expanding!

Okay if you are on Facebook or IG, you probably saw my sneaky pregnancy announcement in the form of an info graphic yesterday

Which I have to admit has been one of my more clever ideas. so pat pat on the back.

We are looking forward to this big adventure! I am still in shock, so any excitement hasn't sunk in yet. Wes was pining for another little about the time Charlotte was about 15 months, so I made an agreement with him, I'd give him a window to try which was October, November, and December, then if we didn't get pregnant I would go on BC. and wouldn't you know it...BAM! pregnant!

How am I feeling? good, tired, and bewildered. I am definitely hungry and peeing a lot as well.
Wes is so excited, he is such a proud Dad, it's pretty endearing and sweet to listen to him talk about the second little.

My Dr's office moves fast- As soon as I did the home test, I called a couple days later and they had me go in for a blood test and an ultrasound. The little peanut was already showing a strong heartbeat at 115 bpm and measuring 6 weeks , 3 days. So my announcement comes at 8 weeks (WHOA- i know some of you are panicking, but my prerogative)

Pretty much how I feel

I made this shirt with one of those DIY iron on things and designed the wreath through pic monkey. I think it turned out cute. We showed Wes' mom and she got it right away and was excited, My father in law didn't get it for a while he was like ' oh that's cute, it says big sister' and then 5 minutes later it hit him. it was funny. 

This Christmas was really fun because we were able to give Charlotte gifts and go do fun winter activities with her. 

First time in the Snow! She wouldn't move an inch in this thing, and wasn't quite sure of the snow.

I was ready to just put her on Santa's lap and have them take a picture, crying or not, but then I started to feel bad as a parent, like I'm just throwing my kid on a stranger in a red suit and some other stranger is taking a picture and making high pitched noises. So no- we made it a good experience for all of us and bribed her with a donut and got in the picture with her. Which I am glad we did, Its a fun family memory we will have.

On Christmas Eve, we did pajamas and had her open a present, she was excited about it and wanted to open more- that was fun to see her reaction to all the gifts  Her jammies were a bit big. so Wes pulled up the pants and it ended up looking cute on her, like a Christmas oompa loompa baby.

Christmas Day at Larissa's, we are all wearing all our new Christmas gifts haha

We don't see these cousins often enough, But I love them and I'm so glad Charlotte has little brown kids she can relate too as well.

Our Christmas card this year was really fun, I had a  friend make a one of a kind watercolor wreath to overlay over our picture and it turned out great! thanks Noelle. PS, if you didn't get a card, I'm so sorry- I don't know why I under ordered, but I did and felt so bad!

I recently had a birthday, totally old, 35! the usual peeps came over for dinner, I made fondue! it was delicious. I like cooking on my birthday and the friends that come over don't seem to mind haha. and then I was treated to brunch a few days later by some great folks. It was a fun birthday week!

2016 will be fun filled for sure! I have another segment coming up on January 8th on The Place, it will be a fun one, so tune in. I have a wedding workshop on the 19th at The Gathering place, so if you know anyone planning their own wedding, have them come to the class. Hopefully I get a couple weddings this year to plan, start putting together my book, and then Baby Miller Dos will arrive just in time!

We hope you have a very Happy New Year!
