Family Of FOUR!

Most of you know by now that our sweet family of three will be a sweet family of four come March 2013!!!! We are so so so very excited to be adding our last family member to Easy Crew! Kourtney is the light of our lives and even though she has started testing our limits and making some daily chores harder, I am sure she will adore a new baby brother or sister!

So to answer a bunch of group questions all at once :)

Our official due date is March 4th, 2013

We will be waiting to find out the sex of our sweet baby again so ...yup that means we won't be checking out the 20 week ultrasound for boy or girl parts!

We have a few names on the list still from when we had Kourtney and we have added a few but no real ideas yet.

I have been feeling sick this pregnancy. :( I got so lucky with my first that I was hoping for the same this time with no luck. I have been getting really nasty headaches around 3-4pm. Really nothing has helped except laying down which can be hard to do with a 20 month old baby! During the day I have been feeling good so I have been trying to take advantage of the morning hours.

Running... so many questions about this. YES. I do plan to keep running until I feel like my body says stop. I am really good about slowing down when I need to so I am not worried about this causing any problems. I have ran two races since I have know I was prego and both went great. Folsom Firecracker 5k & Blood Sweat and Beers last weekend. I have the Color run with Zach and Kourtney next weekend that I am really looking forward too!!!! I did get ambitious and sign up for the short leg of the CIM the first weekend in December but I also found someone willing to run my leg if I feel like its to much as the time gets closer. So not to worry. I will be safe. I am not trying to set any prego running records.


Here are a few of our baby announcement pics :)

Our little 1st Few Weeks Secret!!!!

I usually am the worst secret keeper however since I have to wait until Tuesday to get in and see a Dr. I have been keeping my lips sealed shut for about a month now..... Oh man has it been hard :) We got to see a Dr by "accident when I was only 6 weeks prego with Kourtney and we luckily squeezed in then but this time our luck was less lucky. So we  like everyone else have to wait until we are between 8-10 weeks to see the good Dr. :) We are so excited about our new little addition to our family!!!

I have been feeling good so far not as good as my first pregnancy with Kourtney but so far only a few passes of nausea around the 4 o'clock hour. My loves for help in this department have been orange juice and sprite or ginger ale. I also have enjoyed sucking on Starbursts and I keep a few Graham crackers around just in case :)

I have been trying to stay in the gym as much as I can even though I definitely have been feeling super super tired. I felt this way with Kourtney except then I could nap whenever and now that I have Kourtney I can't really do that! Oh man oh man those were the days ...prego with the first one ;) hehe

Have I mentioned how excited I am??? So far only we have only shared the news with our parents! Hopefully they can keep a secret as well as we have been :)

Cant wait to post a update after the Dr's appointment on Tuesday the 24th!!!

Family Photos

Our little family has so many pictures of Just one parent and our sweet muffin Kourtney .... However we hardly ever get very many good ones of the three of us. We got our family pictures the other night by Ashley of 3:23 Photography. She shoots kinda late at (7:45pm) night but the lighting seemed really good for pictures and it wasn't hot. So it all turned out great. She did a great job with Kourtney even though she had to have the worst headache after taking a nasty fall in the morning into our bed frame. She had a nasty big welt on her head and Ashley managed to have it not showing in most of the pics! Way to go!

Here is a sneak peak!

Thanks Ashley for the great pictures :)

3rd Wedding Anniversary ~ Reno, NV

Our 3rd wedding anniversary has come and gone. July 8th, three years ago was the best day of my life (In tie of course with the day I became a mom). I am so very thankful that I still am happily married and that we got the chance to sneak away together  for some "us" time. We picked Reno because we wanted to get away but not to far away and we knew the weather would be nice. We really just wanted to lay in the sun by the pool and go out to a nice quiet dinner....and that we did.  Zach made me a really great leather bracelet and I got us matching leather flip flops to represent the matching shoes we wore at our rehearsal dinner!

Thank you to everyone for all the kind phone call, emails, cards, and FB wishes. We feel so blessed to have such a supportive team of friends and family supporting us on our journey together! I also really want to thank Vanessa & Byron (Zach's oldest brother and his wife) for taking Kourtney on for the weekend so we could get away together for a few days. xoxo





Here are a few pictures from our trip :)
