#2.... Well all the number two has taught me at 4 months prego is that he/she does not like

Pizza. I find this funny because this is usually my favorite food. #2 made me feel very sick (but no pukes), very sleepy and craves more sweets. I think #2 is a girl... a few more weeks and we will know!

We love you both! xox

A lot to update!

Wow, the last few months of have been busy and I have a lot to update!

I guess I'll go in order of occurrence. First Marcus got a new job at Microsoft, which he loves!

He's pretty busy these days but like I said he enjoys it, which is great.

Then New Years Eve rolled around. I had been feeling really tired and a little "off" so I thought I should do a pregnancy test just to be safe seeing it was in fact New Years and alcohol would have definitely played into our plans. Well... I did the test and because there is a wait period I went about packing for the cottage. I forgot about the test until I returned to the bathroom to grab my toothbrush and noticed the test flashing "PREGNANT". Shock was an understatement but needless to say we were happy! So now, just over three months preggers I am feeling great! I'm 80% sure it's a girl this time because I feel very different this time around. Time will tell....

Then came Feb. Poor Katharine ended up in the hospital again and things took a turn for the worst. She was bumped to the top of the liver transplant list and just like that she was getting prepped for a transplant. As scary as the whole thing was for her and everyone involved, the surgery went great and she's home recovering day by day. She looks REALLY good and we are all thankful for the donor and the team who gave her a brand new life! One day at a time...

Hayden, Hayden, Hayden... My little guy is growing up so quickly! He's standing on his own (well holding himself up on his own) and trying so hard to crawl. He's turned from a baby into a little mini boy over night! He's sleeping through the night (as of this week) and is also getting up at a half decent time! I can't believe it's been 9 months since I slept! I'll enjoy it now because in 6 months it will start all over again!

We're trying to sell the house and will list it in a few weeks. Two babies in a beach semi may be a little tricky while Marcus is trying to work from home a few days a week. More to come on that...fingers crossed.

I think my family is due for a not so eventful down time soon!
