We are back for good now!

Hello there! I am so happy to officially be back to blogging again!  We have so many new things going on, I don't even know where to begin.  I suppose I will go person-by-person with an update.

Me: Well, obviously the biggest update is that we are currently 34 weeks pregnant with our beautiful son Parker Robert, who is growing wonderfully.  He was 5 pounds 6 ounces at our ultrasound yesterday so it appears we have completely avoided having a NICU baby this time around.  It's been a very long pregnancy filled with weekly progesterone injections and one hospitalization with a failed gallbladder.  Parker is absolutely beautiful in every picture we see of him and he looks JUST like Hayden and Matt.  I love him very much already and hope we get to meet him in the next few weeks!

I am now officially a stay-at-home Mommy which is just wonderful.  I love my job very much and will miss the kids dearly, but with 2 sons, my time is much better spent at home with them.  I may eventually go back, but for now I want to stay with my babies and enjoy them!

Matt: Matt is doing awesome as usual and he's also very excited about the new addition to our family.  He's still working at TriSports and now he's a Buyer, which he loves.  He also was awarded Employee of the Year this year, which is a huge honor that he very much deserved!  Sid and Di are coming to visit in 2 weeks, so we are under full preparations for their visit.  We are all super excited for that!

Hayden: Oh, sweet Hayden is just as sweet and amazing as ever.  He turned 4 last month and is just an absolute delight.  He is extremely intelligent as always, doing kindergarten level math and spelling lots of words.  I am endlessly proud of my son.  He can't wait to be a big brother as well.  He's helped us with all of our preparations for Parker's arrival and even helped choose his name.  I could go on for hours about Hayden but since this blog is about him, I'll let the new posts speak for themselves!

Jane: Jane is the most wonderful MeeMaw ever, which is also nothing new.  She is still working at the Shoe House but manages a new store and is doing very well.  She loves her grandsons and everything about them!

Buster: Well, we have had a lot of drama around Buster the past few weeks.  He got very ill 3 weeks ago and found himself in the animal hospital in an emergency situation.  Apparently he is a diabetic and his body could no longer regulate it on his own.  He was very sick for 3 days, but they were able to regulate him and get him evened out a bit on insulin injections and a special diet.  We now give him his insulin twice a day and feed him a very strict diet of special wet food.  We were so glad they were able to save our sweet boy's life.  We love him so much and he's no burden to care for at all!

That is a general update from us for now, but I will post a new post on top of this one with pictures of our hospital tour and our newest ultrasound pictures of Parker from yesterday!
