We made it!

By Ashley -
 We made it to Austin. It wasn't that far of a drive but I almost refused to do it. Let me tell you about the week, just so next time we move I remember that it is going to better than this time.

On Monday I woke up feeling sick. And then I spent the morning throwing up. I had a lot to do so I powered through- it was awful.

On Tuesday I went outside to find two, yes two, flat tires on my minvan. As I drove to Costco to get my tires looked at my sister in law who was following me had some car trouble (bad news since they had to drive to chicago a few days later). I got my tires fixed (for free) and they took their car in, it wasn't free.

On wednesday, we went to our last story time (which happened to be a puppet show!), said goodbye to our wonderful friends, and went to the house, where we waited several hours for the movers to finish.

On thursday we drove to Austin

and on friday the truck arrived!

All in all the move was ok. We know now that moving with two really small kids is really hard and there are things that we will do differently next time. We also know that movers and packers are amazing, and I never want to do it another way (I will have to but I don't want to).

We are mostly unpacked, we need some additional furniture, but other than that we are here.

I really like the house, and guess what we live by things. I can super target in the distance from my dinning room window (at night). Oh and the grocery store... well that is 1.3 miles away. Ikea is the same distance as a grocery store was to our other house, and costco is about 4 miles away! This is so nice, I went to the grocery store at 432 yesterday, pulled into our driveway at 458... love it!Now if only our Dallas friends were here too!
See those lights... super target.

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

7 pounds

By Ashley -
I don't usually discuss weight on my blog, but I need to have a little discussion about it today. Let me preface by saying I am NOT pregnant, now that I have cleared that up, I need to gain 7 pounds... I do, 7 pounds, that's the goal. Here's the thing, I am not entirely sure how to go about doing that. I don't lead a totally unhealthy lifestyle but unlike many people I don't particularly enjoy exercise. I am a busy person, well I dont know that busy is the right word but I spend a good portion of my time chasing, lifting, spinning, or carrying a 19 month old around. I am never going to go for a run or go to the gym, might help my heart but aint gonna happen (sad that I spent so much time learning about health) I do walk with Mikey in the stroller (weather permitting) for about a mile each day at a brisk (ish) pace, and I do try and eat relatively healthy, but I will be the first to admit that two crunchy tacos are not a problem for me. I don't shy away from swee...
