I thought for sure I would have a lot more time to blog once I finished my degree in December. That turned out not to be the case! Since my last update the end of December so many things have happened!
After a miscarriage last July and several months spent on my knees in tears we were blessed to find out, the day before our anniversary, that we would be welcoming baby number 2 into our family. We also found out it would be another BOY, as most of you probably know already! This sweet bundle of joy is expected to join our family around October 20, 2014, we are so excited.

This pregnancy, while such a blessing, has come with many complications and trials - from pooled blood left inside of me from implantation, to placenta previa, to moving at 6 months pregnant and becoming uninsured and doctorless. I keep reminding myself that there is a reason I am having a baby right now. I know that this is in the Lord's hands and that everything will go according to plan with this baby! Thanks to these complications though, we were able to have an ultrasound every 4-6 weeks, which was really fun! It is so neat to see how much he changed from one ultrasound to the next!

For some reason we had an easier time deciding on a name for this one. We have always struggled to agree on boy names. So, unless one of us has a brilliant revelation that his name should be something else, his name will be Dreyson! It is so cute to hear Bryker talk about baby Dreyson in mommy's tummy! He will snuggle up to me and say "I'm snugglin baby Dreyson, mommy!" or "I need to give baby Dreyson a hug/kiss." Hopefully Bryker's love for his little brother continues even after he is born!
Shortly after Bryker turned 2 we found out what "terrible twos" meant. As exhausting as he can be, he is so sweet and is learning so fast! We sure love him! I wanted to throw him a big birthday party for his 2nd birthday, but I was pretty sick from being pregnant, and Marcus was busy in school so we just celebrated at home.

We spent Spring Break in Canada with Amy and Matt and their cute family of 5! It was quite cold, but so much fun!

In May Marcus finished his Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science. We had the opportunity to walk at the graduation commencement together which was exciting! The commencement itself was actually pretty boring, and being pregnant it was a long time to sit! It was something we got to do together, though, and I am glad we did it!
Once graduation was over we started preparing for our next big adventure: moving to Kansas City, Missouri! Packing and moving were exhausting. Of course it didn't help that all of that fell just before my 6 month mark!
I never did get a picture of our Penske, but it is seriously a miracle that all of our stuff fit into that truck! I was very against selling everything and arriving in Missouri with nothing, so while we did sell some things, we brought most of our stuff with us. I have decided that it was such a blessing we were able to bring our things with us because it made the adjustment easier for Bryker. He was so excited to see his bed, his toys, and even our couches after we got all moved in. I don't know how well he would have done in an empty home.
We absolutely love our townhome community and all of the amazing friends we have made already! I will post again soon so you can see all of our Kansas City adventures thus far!
Much love from KC!
