Then we got the exciting news we were expecting a new addition to our family and I really had wanted to share regarding baby but being a mom of two is not always easy, and things would come up :)
Now I am in the last week or two of pregnancy and figured I should get something down, besides how depressing to come to the blog and see the same old post about my postpartum depression! I will say it took awhile to clear up but things turned around thanks to many supportive family and friends and some medicine that I was able to stop taking months after starting.
Baby Braem #3 is due any day now and we have yet to decide on a name, I just hope that once we see his cute little face we will know and he will not be nameless for long!
We were quite surprised to find out months ago that we were expecting, as I have infertility issues and we have needed to use fertility medications prior to this. We are truly blessed for this little guy, we had to get over several hurdles in the beginning and things were higher risk for the first 12 weeks. It was so nice to make it into the second trimester and be able to share our joy with others. Besides early concerns and being SO SICK this time around things have really gone well. I am trying to cherish every pregnancy moment as it will most likely be our last.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we anxiously await the arrival of baby!
We have had a busy summer thus far, we enjoyed a nice two week vacation in March with stops in Atlanta to visit Uncle Bill and Uncle Michael and DISNEY World. Em asks to go back (to both places) at least weekly. We have gone on some day trips to the Zoo near by, celebrated many graduations, had several museum trips, play dates, lots of outside play and plenty of appointments with all my OB appointments and William is in weekly speech therapy. We survived a week with out Paul when he was recently in Chicago for a work conference, I was SO worn out at the end of those nights! Currently we are doing a little bathroom remodel project that has had everything go wrong that can and is taking much longer than anticipated, lets just say I am glad I have family close by where I can shower otherwise I think the town of Solon would kick me out for smelling so bad! The kids have enjoyed bath time in the utility sink and Paul at least makes it to the gym every morning to shower before work. Not an idea situation being 9 mos pregnant without a full working bathroom but it will be worth it in the end and we have already picked out the new bathroom furnishings so I can envision it all put together and am looking forward to it.
Here are some pictures from our Disney trip, the kids both LOVED it and I can not wait to take them back one day. Em loved meeting all the characters and had them all sign her book that she loves to look through now. William found a love for Dumbo and had a blast on all the rides! We also enjoyed some down days at the pool and beach. I was about 5-6 mos pregnant so it worked well to space out our days at Disney parks and have some relaxing days between.
