Two Years ago Today

Two year ago today I was supposed to hold my newborn son. It's ironic to me that this day coincides with the beginning of Summer, not feeling so summery at the moment.
He should be two years old today. I still miss him so much and I think of what our life would be like with him here with us as a toddler.
We feel very blessed to have our girls and this new baby on the way. I really believe Keller watches out for all of them and is their guardian Angel! Keller will always be missed, and never forgotten.

the last few months

It's has been so long since I last posted, life has gotten in the way! it doesnt' help that out laptop broke down either!

Nothing too major has happened in tha last couple months, the girls are growing and so is baby (and my belly ) ! I am at 24 weeks now, YAY. We are having a boy this time so we are VERY excited, but it also brings back some memories of Keller. I have been getting ultra sounds every two weeks and he is looking great and always has a strong heartbeat. He is moving a lot now, I love that feeling:

I also started makign hair bows for the girls (at this point mostly for Johanna). I decided to sell them and I have sold a few already. I like making things, it relaxes me after running around and working all day. I wish there were more hours in the day! Between work, kids, cleaning house and the bows I need at least 30!

Our Emery is growing up!

Emery went to her One -Year check up a few days ago. Dr Blum was very happy with her but thought she may be a little spoiled...No way. Also he thought she looked a little mal-nourished ;) She is hitting all her mile-stones on time or ahead of time! She is saying a few words, like "hello" (sounds like "herra"), she said "all gone" yesterday. She waves, gives kisses, blows kisses. She can stand by herself and has taken two steps. She hasn't really tried to walk anymore than that but that’s OK, she is taking her time with walking like Johanna did. She may be the only baby I know that is more smiley than Johanna was. Her sleeping habits could be better but we are working on it. She will sleep from about 8pm to 4am am most nights. Sometimes she'll sleep all the way to 6 sometimes she'll wake up more than once. But nonetheless she is an absolute joy!

Emery's Stats:

Weight: 24 lbs 12.3 oz = 92nd %ile

Length: 30" = 74th %ile

Head: 18.7" = 96th %ile

Happy First Birthday Emery!
