Fun in the snow!!

Last night we had a rain/snow storm... which granted, is not the best combination for driving conditions. BUT it does make for some fun in the snow! SO, this morning Hudson and I got up, put on our snow clothes and went out to clean the snow off of Daddy's car, and play a bit! Dad decided to join us for some fun too. :) It was a great morning! :)

Hudson's 1st Birthday!!

It is CRAZY to think that we have a ONE YEAR OLD!!! He is so big!! Sometimes I sneak into his room when he's sleeping and just watch him sleep. As he lays there peacefully I am amazed at how big my baby boy is. He is a smart, beautiful, happy boy and we love him so SO much. Here are some fun pics of his birthday party. I made all of the decorations (except for the balloons). It was pretty simple and fun preparing for this kid's big day. I didn't however make the cake. I have Byerly's Market to thank for that. They offer a FREE 1st birthday cake! I tried to make a yummy sugarless cake for him but failed miserably. So thank you Byerly's! Anywho... enjoy! :)

22 weeks and feeling great!

Sorry, no pic this week. I am staying with my sisters kids and haven't taken a pic yet.
We are so excited to be having another little boy! Hudson and his little bro are going to be so close, hopefully the best of friends! Hahaha I know it's going to take some getting used to for Hud to have a baby around but we are not too worried.
Now I would like some advice...
We have a baby bjorn but I am looking into a sling or wrap and wondering what people have to say about them. Positives? Negatives?
I'm also looking into double strollers, preferably jogging strollers. I don't want to spend a ton of money. Any suggestions?
Sleeping arrangements. We are currently in a 2 bedroom place. Of course the baby will sleep in our room for the first few months BUT will it be crazy to let them sleep in the same room? Are we looking at a disastrous situation? Ok that's it for now. Looking forward to your feedback!
THANKS!!!

Walking, and the bumps and bruises that come with it

So Hudson has started walking, YAY! It is so cute to watch him. He walks with his hands up in the air for balance and takes stiff calculated steps. It's just so stinkin cute! But with this new adventure comes a lot of tumbles, seat drops, and face-plants. This morning he took fall right next to our coffee table and cracked his eye on the corner. OUCH!! It made the loudest sound and it took him a second for the pain to set in and he started wailing! Poor kid! But like always, he cried for maybe 30 seconds and then he was off again, ready to find another toy to play with or chew on. He is such a good kid! This pic was taken right after it happened. As the day went on his eye got a little puffier and more red. Hopefully it won't stick around very long.

BOY OH BOY!!

Baby Alme #2 is a BOY!!!
So I am going to be GREATLY out-numbered!
We had our 20 week ultrasound and we are having another BOY!!!
Here he is! You can see his head, arm and hand, and both of his legs and feet!
Leg and foot!
Adorable profile! Look at that cute little button nose! I can't wait to see what he really looks like! It is crazy to think that we are halfway there. We are so excited for Hudson to have a little brother to wrestle with! He is going to be such a great big brother! When I ask him where the baby is he gets so excited and pats my belly! Precious moment. Keep watch for more info. :)
