Excited and Thankful

Hey Y'all

If you have not already seen the instagram I reshared on my Facebook page or just follow the blog from afar. We are currently expecting our 3rd sweet miracle. I call them miracles because we are so thankful and bless to have these sweet children in our lives. Some days are hard but most are definitely worth it all!

Currently my Due date is January 28, 2015..we had originally thought it was Jan 16/17. But by the size that is showing up in the past two ultrasounds it is looking like the end of Jan! I am definitely not counting on the end of January more like the beginning or 2nd week most likely. All of my children like to come into the world nice and early and at their deciding time. I am guessing this one will just fly out of me after O's quick birth.

And NO before you ask this was not an accident! We were trying but not. What I mean by that is that we were not trying to stop it from happening since we had a little bit of help cycling properly with O before we got pregnant with him. So we just assumed that it would take a bit and happen a little bit after he was 1. We just got lucky that after 2 or 3 cycles that my dh happened to have a lucky swimmer!!! haha!

Lots is changing in our lives. My Dh just switched jobs technically even though he is outsourced to work for the same company. We just finished our back deck, bought a MiniVan..yes I know what you are thinking. They became those people! Well my husband said he would not ever be caught driving one in his life...little did he know. Its great for getting our munchkins in and out of parking lots..no more getting hit with the door from the elderly being impatient for parking.

We wanted 3 or 4 Children..not sure about the 4th but we will see when we get there. We love them so much and enjoy them each moment. We have had some negative comments...I won't name them..but it is frustrating and quite frankly it is not any damn business of theirs how many children we decide we want to have. The way I see it..we love our children, we look after them and put them first as they should be. They have their needs meant and we are happy..truly that is what matters. And before I hear another " Oh are't you having them close together" or "Wow you did not Wait", I want you to stop and think about the road we took to get Miss E! 3 plus years! I have put my body through so much to get her and a bit more to keep O and get him..They are all going to be around the same distance apart 1 1/2 years! And Hell ppl used to have them younger and closer together.

I will try to update more often. So far I am almost out of my 1st Trimester. We are getting excited. E will be going into school in Sept 2015 at 3 years old..so all will work out. I am down a lb since i go up and down so much in the beginning. I am sick like I was with E not O! So very nauseous but only have thrown up twice. More smells than anything. No cravings..eating small amounts. Very tired so far..but thats normal. I go in Aug for another Apt. Yes we are probably finding out..not sure who we will tell though lol. E is constantly telling me the baby is napping and kissing my belly. She also sings to the baby.

Here are some early Ultrasound Pics. XOXO the Brants

A whole Year has Passed!

Happy July!

When you are wee time goes by so slowly. School seems to be forever and so does summer holidays. Well we can go and throw that out the window! When you are a parent time flies. Most of the time faster than what you would like it to. This Past week July 16th O turned 1!!!!!

Hard to believe that it has been over a year since we rushed to the hospital to meet this daring little guy we have loved from the start and get to know more each day. He is trouble though, let me tell you. Adventure extroidanaire and definitely a good way to describe this curious little guy. He is always trying out new sounds and new ways to take things down off of heights he should not be at or ways to be up his sisters bum..because he loves her ohhhh so much!

He is currently getting his two top teeth in on the sides of his front top middle teeth. One is now through. We are lucky enough to say that he is a great sleeper most of the time. But when it comes to certain times when teething he is a little more needy than usual. He also will eat anything and everything. So vacuuming a couple times a week is a must. I really do not enjoy scavenger hunt diaper changes. Especially while pregnant lol. But really he is a great little eater and is trying new things every day. I miss those days with his sister.

We bought him a Motorcycle walk for his birthday that he can ride on and use to learn to walk. Sooo not too long from now I can probably assure you I will be writing a little blog post about that. Currently we are walking across hanging on to couches and standing freehand here and there..we love to climb and use go go gadget arms to reach things from heights you would not think he could reach.

We had a small dinner with my parents for O on his actual birthday. My parents came and helped us out while we had two baby appointments during out little munchkins nap time. We had a nice regular quiet dinner and had some cake and ice cream. Yesterday we had his bday party. We celebrate with our neighbours a couple close friends and family from both sides. It was nice to get everyone together  in one place. I made him a construction cake for his party and we had some decorations and balloons. Set up some pools and the water table for the kiddos and just had some yummy bbq food. We are thankful for all who came to celebrate the special day.

We had O's 1 year checkup today. He is doing really well. He now weighs 22 1/2 lb. and is 31.1 inches long. He is doing well all around according to our doctor. We do not go back until 15 months just for another shot. He had 3 today so he was not such a happy camper.

I will post pics later on and some news about the latest pregnancy announcement. As for now I have to comfort a cranky boy. Love the Brants xoxo
