Babies First Easter






Yes, that's right I said BABIES! Robin and I are officially pregnant again with baby number 2!! We hope to have just two children and really wanted them close in age if possible. We had been trying for about six months and were finally blessed to find out we were pregnant on Valentines day. Yesterday was our second visit to the baby dr. and everything looks great. I am feeling great again, not one day of sickness, but the fatigue seems to be a little worse this go round. I think Landon might have something to do with that because even Robin seems worn out at the end of every day! I am a little over 12 weeks along, and have a due date of October 21, 2010.

Landon's first Easter did not go exactly to plan. On the Saturday before easter we went to a city funded easter egg hunt and of course had to meet the Easter bunny. It was during that photo op that we think Landon contracted pink eye because for the rest of the day his eye would not stop watering. We went to G-ma and G-pa McNeely's that night for dinner and it only got worse. So, on Easter Sunday when he woke up to a crusted over eye, we opted to go to the CareNow clinic instead of church in order to not infect any of the other babies. He got all the necessary med's and it cleared up within a matter of hours! We are thankful it went away so quickly, but it was definitely not how we envisioned him spending his first Easter.

The month of April is only half over, but it has definitely been an eventful one. We FINALLY received an offer on our house which has been on the market since last August! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us. Although that is a blessing, our closing date on the house is April 30, so we really need to get moving, literally! We have been packing a little each weekend, but the my parents will be over to assist with some (most!) of the heavy lifting in a couple of weekends. We have been house hunting and hope to have made a decision on our next house soon. We will be displaced temporarily, living with my parent's in Ft. Worth until we can close on the next house. All of our stuff will go to storage in the interim as well. Its fortunate that we have somewhere to go (that is free!), but both Robin and my commute will be rough, and we have not yet found temporary childcare for Landon. It will all work out, but just some details that have yet to be settled up.

So, after all of that news, it is safe to say we are keeping very busy here in Texas. I keep waiting for things to slow down a bit, but that doesn't seem to happen. We hope all is well with everyone! Love, Brooke, Robin, Landon, and Baby T(2)
