Well I guess we're here again

It's been over a year since I last posted, Samson is 3 years + 3 months and Sydney (Neeners) will be 14 months tomorrow! My husband was laid off the day before Thanksgiving but has since started a new job at only part-time temporary with the possibility of a full time position in the next couple months. Fingers crossed!

Life has been very different the past 3 months since my husband's lay-off but I can definitely say it's changed for the better. We all greatly enjoyed having him home all day every day and it's hard for Samson & Sydney to have their daddy gone, but now when he gets home from work they're so excited to play! Things are looking up and I think we've learned how to live without things which has made us stronger as a family and now get more pleasure out of the smaller things in life.

We're now just really looking forward to the warm weather, no more snow and lots of bike rides and long walks. We got a bunch of wet, now crusty snow dumped on us yesterday and it's bumming me out that it seems winter will never be over. Oooooh well.

Now to the real thing that's a change in our house.....

Baby #3! 

We found on on 2.12.14 that we would be welcoming a new little baby into our family around Oct 25th! We weren't trying and this was a fairly big shock, especially since it's not for sure DH will be getting the full time position. We wanted two more children but were going to wait until Sydney was 4, but I guess God had other plans in mind. Nonetheless we are thrilled and so excited to take this journey again. I had my beta levels drawn this week, at 17 DPO - 193 at 19 DPO - 502!! I go back on Monday for another draw and will hopefully have an u/s the following week. We're hoping and praying I'll have a complication free pregnancy and we'll have a healthy little baby this fall. I'll start another survey thing tomorrow when I'm 5 weeks!
