Four months old

My two loves :)

And a few more pics from the last few months...

She's here!!

And my life will never be the same...

So presh!

Chloe Loren was born ON her due date 5/15/13 weighing 5lbs, 15oz (ironic, I know), 19 inches long.

I had an emergency c-section. Just couldn't get her to come out on her own ... But, she came out VERY healthy and at her two month Pediatrician appointment on Tuesday, weighed 10lbs, 6oz!!

She's a great eater! Lol

My life has been turned upside down.. She's a lot higher maintenance than her brother was. But I'm loving every minute of her and feel very blessed :)

Her big brother ADORES her. And he is now moving on to FIRST GRADE. Soooo very proud of him!

Doug and I unpacked (most of) my scrap room a few weekends ago.. Hopefully once Caleb's in school I'll be able to scrap when Chloe naps. YAY!! 

Well, she's crying as we speak.. Gotta run. Til next time...

Right now we are THREE...

But VERY soon, we will be FOUR!

Stay tuned...

It's SO exciting to actually LOOK pregnant! I didn't with Caleb until the very end b/c I was so overweight. But I'm ALL baby this time around. It's amazing what losing 250+ lbs will do! :)

The pregnancy is going GREAT! I couldn't ask for a better one. I've barely had morning sickness. No swelling, no high blood pressure, no heartburn. No anything. I felt her move at 14 weeks and she's been moving pretty much non-stop ever since. This has been an ideal pregnancy.
Let's just hope my birth goes well, too. Fingers crossed for a successful VBAC.

14 more weeks to go...

Meet Chloe Loren :)

I'm so in love with her already. Look at that precious little face! (22.5 weeks pregnant)
I can't wait to scrapbook this!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I am currently 18.5 weeks pregnant and yesterday we found out we are having a beautiful baby GIRL! Praise God! Her name will be Chloe Loren :) Lovin' life right now! Love that I'm getting a baby girl. Can't wait to buy lots of PINK and bows galore! Gymboree, look out! LOL

Life is crazy busy right now and this baby makes me extremely tired each day so I doubt I'll be back on here til after the new year. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Remember, JESUS is the Reason for the season! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

New pics

Here are two recent pics (taken yesterday). At 9.5 weeks pregnant, I'm already starting to show! And I've gained six pounds! Crazy!

NYC "Babymoon"

Realizing we might not get another vacation in a LONG time, my husband took us to NYC on a "babymoon" Fri-Tues. I had a BLAST! Here are a few pics from my cell phone/instagram:

The new Freedom Tower (still under construction)

The living room in our suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel

Looking south from atop Rockefeller Center

The Statue of Liberty

From my point & shoot camera: Doug and I on a romantic carriage ride in the rain. Central Park is very neat. I can't believe how big I look here. But I'm wearing a coat 3x too big. It was cold that day! Time to get a new Winter coat...

The eleven scarves I bought in Chinatown/Little Italy (two of them are for friends). All but two of them were $5 each. I might have a (slight) scarf obsession now :)

The Brooklyn Bridge from the harbor cruise we took.

Times Square!

Central Park

This place in Little Italy had the best pesto/chicken pizza!
I had the MOST fun in Chinatown/Little Italy. I love cheap wares (scarves/souvenirs) and they have the BEST pizza there!

It was an AWESOME trip and I'm so thankful that my husband recommended we go!
