The word is out
So we were going to keep it to ourselves a little longer, but between being sick and trying to finish school, most everyone was asking what was up.
So yes, we are having a baby! This baby will share the same birthday month maybe even day as Chase. So they will be exactly 2 years apart!
The due date we have right now is July 20th. So right now I am about 10 1/2 weeks along.
After having a July baby, I swore I would never do that again. So we planned to have a May baby and after it taking longer than expected, are now having another July baby!
Oh well, I will hopefully be able to stay cool this Summer and not being dying like last time.
It's also a blessing in a way, because I would have never been able to complete my semester had I been this sick a couple of months ago.
So far I have just been sick, sick and tired. And then all of that all over again. I have better parts of the day than others, but still I am the most sick I have been with this pregnancy than with the other two.
Thursday the doctor gave me some medication to take so I can hopefully stop throwing up so much, but I can't really tell if it's working or not yet.
I gain a pound then lose three, and I pretty much live on soda crackers these days.
The only thing that keeps me going some days is knowing this will pass, hopefully sooner than later, so I can be "mom" again instead of a total zombie.
But aside from all of that, we are thrilled to be having another baby and never thought we would be so ready to add another little Hellyar to our family.
Christmas Came without Warning
This year we literally didn't think about Christmas until about 8 days before when finals were over at school. It felt so weird to be so detached from all the Christmas fun and excitement. And it was kind of rushed at the end trying to do some last minute shopping for each other.
Christmas was still wonderful! It made me think more about the savior, I think since I wasn't so caught up in shopping the entire time. And at one point I didn't really know if we were going to have any presents for Christmas with everyone being so busy.
So we talked to the boys a lot about Jesus and asked Owen if he knew what Christmas was about. We told him it was Jesus birthday and asked him what we should do for Jesus. Owen told us that he wanted to give Jesus one of his special toys since he gets toys for his birthday.
We thought it was such a sweet sincere idea, so we helped Owen wrap up a gift and set it by the door for Jesus to come and get it. (as Owen said he would.)
We definitely had some special moments this year at Christmas, but I also felt so far away from everyone in my family. I was and still am really missing my family and wish I could have spent Christmas with some of my brothers and sisters or parents.
The boys had a lot of fun with their Grandma Leslie and Grandpa Carl, as always. They love spending time with them whenever they stop by, and it's nice having some of Brad's family close enough to visit and help each other out once in a while.
We still managed to get a tree up and decorated
The boy's favorite hide-out was behind the tree
Owen hiding out too!
We enjoyed a good snow day or two
Chase always brings me his boots now cause he thinks there is still snow to go play in.
The boys are at such a fun stage together right now, they do everything together and are super bored if the other one is ever gone.
Santa Came!!
Reading stories waiting for grandma and grandpa to get here to open presents
Aww . . . sweet happy boys!
Yay Christmas is here!
