A new journey is beginning...

We are only 2 days out from my scheduled c-section to welcome our second son to our family!

On pregnancy-
I am currently 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. This pregnancy has been long and tiring. I started Braxton Hicks contractions around 28 weeks (which I never got with Easton). They have been intense, painful, and physically and mentally exhausting.  I had one evening spent monitored at labor and delivery but Mr. Drew decided he is content in there and wants to stay put- causing mommy lots of discomfort. Not being able to sleep and heartburn round out the fun things happening right now. After being told that i would more than likely deliver pre- term, we have been ready for such a LONG time now. I am trying my best to enjoy this last week with Easton, our last one just him and I!



Someone wanted to try out the crib again.

Kasey manged to sneak her way into Easton;s nursery pics too. 


Don't mind our hospital bags packed in there ;-)


On Easton-
Easton's current favorite things:

  • Saying "I can do it!!" and throwing a fir if you don't let him. Getting dressed in the morning and getting ready for bed takes just a bit longer now!
  • His new backyard swing set. He would swing for hours if you let him. Literally, hours!
  • Books, books, and more books!
  • Throwing rocks outside. I was told Daddy and Papa did this too all the time as kids. 
  • Loves to eat fruit- current favorites, grapes and cantaloupe. 
  • The jelly beans he gets when he pees on the potty ( not every time, mind you.) Doing any #2 business on the potty STILL is not happening!
  • Being outside, absolutely loves it! Especially if he can ride his little four wheeler he got for Christmas. 
  • Animals, especially dogs. 
  • Hugging and kissing "baby Drew" 


Easter morning, hunting eggs after church with Daddy.

Seeing Papa's new puppy. 

Hanging out with his cousins. (in actuality, they are looking for eggs).

Stayed tuned for Drew's birth story and the beginning of a new chapter of our lives as a family of 4!
