Back Again (with news!)

Hello there! We are back and hopefully able to consistently post again on this laptop we are using while we figure out our computer.  I am really missing being able to update everyone on a regular basis and I can't wait to get back to sharing with you.

We have BIG news in the Duffin family this week...we are finally able to share that we are expecting a brother or sister for Hayden on April 7th!  We are almost 10 weeks along now and already got to see this beautiful baby on an ultrasound last week.  It has a great heart beat and was moving all over the place!  Hayden is beyond thrilled to be a Big Brother and he really wants a brother, which would be just fine with us.  He's already picking things out in stores to add to our baby registry and he even has name suggestions...some of which are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Baby.  I am looking forward to making it as fun as possible as for him and having him involved every step of the way.

I will be VERY closely followed by my wonderful new Doctor for the whole pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.  We will be getting an ultrasound every 4 weeks and I will be on weekly progesterone shots to keep my uterus relaxed from 15-37 weeks.  In short, me and my Doctor are going to be best friends by the end of this.  She is such a sweet and wonderful lady and I can't wait to have a healthy pregnancy this time.

Matt is loving his new position at work and he is so happy with his new duties. I have never seen him smile so much after work in my life, so I am very happy for him.

Hayden is loving school so far this year.  He has already learned a lot and he's made a ton of new friends. He enjoys being a veteran from last year and being Mr. Bossy as he is, he loves to help the newer kids with the rules.  I love being his teacher and watching his interaction with other children.  He's also getting too smart for us now.  He remembers EVERYTHING and I also taught him last week how to read some words by sounding out the letters.  Smarty pants!

I am going to take some photos today of Hayden playing with his friends at the 2 BBQ's we are attending and I will post them with the ultrasound photos today or tomorrow afternoon!

Love to all!
