Quick Baby Post

Yikes, look at that bump! 25 weeks, but measuring 2 weeks ahead. Had my doctor appoint yesterday, baby boy was squirming all around with a strong and steady heartbeat of 155. I'm doing pretty well, but my blood pressure was a little elevated, so need to monitor it at home too and be sure it stays close to normal range. Doctor told me just to take time to relax...always difficult for a working mother (or any mother to be honest!!) Going to try to take a little extra time for myself this weekend! 

Still feeling pretty good, slowing down a little bit (earlier than I did with Em for sure!) I was walking on the treadmill last night (since the weather has been super crappy) and I usually try to go for 30 mins and a pretty good pace. Last night I made it to 20, and was just done. Not sure if it was an off day or just getting to a point things are more difficult. Hopefully with a little rest over the weekend I'll be back to my normal self! 

Our Little Girl!

She's just so cute, and smart and just awesome. Monday she has a great time with Uncle Adam and Aunt Marissa snow tubing. Just love this girlie!!

Mexican Dinner!

Up the hill!

Exhausted!! 

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Chris' 33rd birthday this weekend! He kicked it off with a whiskey tour and dinner with Mark Friday, and Saturday dinner with family. It was a pretty great weekend-and Em was on her best behavior all weekend, which is always great! Chris and Em also had their first snow day on Tuesday an built an igloo. Em was very sad on Friday when it was 55 degrees and the igloo melted..but I'm sure we'll get another storm! On the pregnancy front, I'm happy to be well over half way through. Having problems sleeping, and just kind of overall tired. But I guess that is to be expected at this stage, so we'll push through!

Emmy's igloo!

Totally has trash bags on her feet because we forgot her boots at school. Hey, you gotta be resourceful!

Bumpity bump.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

No real updates. Em is cute, I'm pregnant (finally feeling the baby kick now and then!), it's cold. So same old, same old! Friday is Chris' birthday, so we are looking forward to that!

Em all dolled up for her Valentine's Day party at school!

grinding meat...so gross, don't ask. 

Go,Team, Go!

Em was really excited about the Super Bowl...that was until she realized it was "just football". I'm not really sure what she expected!! We got to spend some time outside this weekend, which was amazing (although still a little cold). Em also came in and helped me out at work on Saturday, she had a ball. All and all, fun weekend!

Baby Boy Mullen

Quick update. Had a doctor appointment today. Baby boy Mullen is doing great, moving around a ton (although I can't feel him much still...) and heart rate was 153. I'm doing well too, healthy, good BP and weight (somehow I have only gained 7lbs although I seriously feel like it looks like 20...). Next appointment not for another 4 weeks, so just chillin' until then! Hopefully we'll figure out a name sooner than later!

Wow, what a week. Em has a difficult week. The kind that made me cry, twice. I'm sure it is mostly the hormones, but I just kept thinking, how am I going to do this with two? By the weekend, she was back to her good nature self, and we had a nice, fun weekend! I guess being 3 is just hard sometimes!

The face I woke up to Saturday morning. Just love that chicken!

Being silly in her tutu!

Over half way there!!
