Audrey's 1st Birthday party, Oh Baby!

The birthday girl! We celebrated audrey's birthday last saturday and had so much fun- thanks to everyone who was able to make it!
audrey is a very loving girl- with all her stuffed animals and baby dolls she gives them several kisses- it is very sweet.
our family - b'f we let audrey rip in to her presents
i love those tights - isn't she adorable?
she saw papa- and if you don't know she loves him very much and wanted to be with him
audrey's favorite part of opening gifts was the paper
she used it like pom pons- so cute!
more paper!
aunt elsa made this fabulous cake!

audrey opening the gift from jeremy and I
Can you see what it says....
"BRAND NEW BIG SISTER"
yes- jeremy and I are expecting again!!!!!
I'll answer a few questions you all might have:

Was this a suprise? No, we had been trying to get pregnant b/c it took over two years to get pregnant with audrey- the suprise is simply that it happened so quickly!

what was jeremy's reaction: He and I are over the moon! We love being parents and have been blessed with such an amazing daughter that we are so excited to meet our next one.

how far along are you: I am due on April 8th, so I am 10 weeks along. I also passed my glucose test so for now- no gestational diabetes- I had it with audrey so I am praying to not have it with this baby- I will test again at 26 weeks?

what about your new job: they have been very supportive and it was nice my trainer is pregnant and she started in june- so no worries there- I just won't get to take as much time off as I did with audrey. p.s. I love my job so far!!!

how far apart will they be: i believe they will be 19 months apart- I know there will be crazy moments when they are little- but I love the idea of them being so close together in age when they are growing up!!

how are you feeling: honestly , ok. I was 11 weeks along by the time I visited my doctor with audrey so I knew a lot sooner this time. I have no morning sickness - but I just don't feel great. I didn't really have an appetite with audrey and I am experiencing that again. I am very tired- so I am looking forward to the second trimester- for more energy. But it's all worth it to me!

what about your house: we do have to move b/c we only have two bedrooms here- so keep us in your prayers- we need to sell this place b/f we can start looking ( yes we have an agent to use) and we have seven months b/f this baby is born!

I hope that answers your questions - let me know if you have more!!

I can never get enough of this "not so little" girl

don't all kids like to play in a box?
I think she is a little confused
having fun with daddy
this is audrey's new favorite thing...
and this is what she does with them- at least she can't walk so they aren't dirty- but I think we may be hiding them soon.
hanging out with uncle justin
uncle justin making a good case for why he will never baby sit- but hey we put her in a box right?

I finally got to get our little one in her cheerleader outfit for the first OU game last saturday- I am so glad it is football season again! BOOMER SOONER!!
I'm ready for the game guys!
playing dolls with daddy
this was practice for her big party!! She loved all the paper
mike and jon playing guestures


Carter & Audrey's reunion- it took them a little while to warm up to each other-and carter didn't really want to share his toys, but...
he warmed up to her and went in for the smooch!
aren't they adorable
All the graceland gang - sorry this picture is blurry hopefully Katie's is better- It was so good to see all of you! ( Carrie, Ryan & Emerson you were terribly missed!)
