Merry Christmas! Wow, seems like it comes faster every year. Just 2 weeks away now!
Not much to report, well a couple things. You moms will apprecaite or sypythize with me on this. This last weekend was my birthday and me and some friends and been planning on going to the ocean for the weekend to have a "December Escape", just getaway, relax, sleep, eat, watch movies, play games and just hang out...well due to I-5 being closed and power outage on the Oregon Coast, our plans got cancelled. I was so bummed...I just really wanted to sleep in! That was sad, but we still had fun and hung out on Saturday and made cookies and ate dinner together.
It is sooooo cold outside and I don't love it. I know some people do but it makes me want to just stay in all the time. I am happy that its not raining.
Max is eating some yogart and I'm waiting for Loren to get home so I can head out to bible study. Oh Max is bringing me spoonfuls of yogart to share...what a sweet little boy. Still amazed at how much he is growing and learning. Its so much fun! He is playing and talking and just amazing me. Its shocking what kids learn in the first 2 years of life! Did I tell you Max turned two? Yes, he did on Nov. 26th. He just makes me laugh and I feel so happy to be home with him fulltime. Oh I also started a new job? Yep, I'm watching my friends baby...Marigold who is 2 months old! Monday was my first day. Its perfect because I only watch her 4-8 days month during the week. My friend Diana's husband is a firefighter so he is home most of the time, only works 9 day a month. A great way to make some extra cash, help out a friend and when we have a 2nd baby Max and I will both be used to the idea of a baby. Max has been really sweet with the baby and its been neat to watch. Have gone through the baby stage with Max and now that he is a toddler...I will for sure say that the baby stage is such a breeze and the toddler thing is for sure more difficult...I would never have thought that! You just assume it will get easier as they get older and though somethings for sure get easier...many things get harder.
So sorry I haven't posted pictures lately...I'm always posting on my laptop and all the pictures are on the desktop...hopefully soon I will post some!

The "Kids"
They really are though! I'm not patient so I take tests early and get a very faint line and continued to take them over the next week and was so happy to see it get darker with each test! We are due June 23! Today we went for an ultrasound for some tests and were surprised to find out this early that we are having a BOY! Yes, that is right at 12 weeks we already know which is so exciting to me. No I'm not disappointed in the least and was never expecting one or the other. We are thrilled to have another boy and truly are not sad that it wasn't a girl. I love that God gives you what you need and I am totally excited that he blessed us with another sweet little BOY!
Many people that we had already told totally thought we were having a girl so it was fun to call them today and surprise them with the news. Everything is looking good and I would have loved to post the pictures of the ultrasound but couldn’t get them scanned, maybe later. We went in at 6 weeks for an ultrasound due to some bleeding (sorry if that’s too TMI) and it didn’t look like a baby yet, but 6 weeks later it is a BABY, well it looks like one a lot more then at 6 weeks. Hearing the heartbeat is the most amazing thing and seeing them on the ultrasound is so crazy and I LOVE IT! I am very excited to have a summer baby! The only problem is Max’s clothes will be off as far as season goes, but most should still work…and I have a TON!!! Now we need to decide on a name and I really have no idea…Boy names are hard. Any feedback on names is much appreciated!!!
