It is officially ONE WEEK of being a family of five!! I seriously can't believe it. How did this happen?! (Don't answer that). Dave had been home for a little under a week before Duncan arrived, so its been a precious week and a half for us as a family.

Little boy Duncan is finally here and he's actually not so little!! He gave us quite the surprise when the nurses weighed him at 9 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches long! Although I will say, I felt a bit vindicated by his size because I was completely convinced that I was way bigger this pregnancy than with Braden (7lbs 6oz) and Connor (7lbs 10oz), but was told I was measuring on track to have a similar sized baby #3. Yeah tell that to all my new stretch marks!!

It was a beautiful day in the PNW this Easter Sunday. We had so much fun at church this morning and then drove over to my parents' house in Kirkland for Easter egg hunting, relaxing, and a delicious dinner. The boys had a blast playing with their Uncle Jon and Connor gave the cutest Easter prayer at dinner: "thank you for mama and Happy Easter that we get to do today". It was adorable. Love my little family. Happy Easter everyone!

Now that I'm quite obviously showing, the first question almost everyone asks is: "boy or girl?". Followed by: "It must be so hard to come up with ANOTHER boy name". Yup, it is. Not like we haven't had a girl name picked out for like four years now. Sigh. Honestly though, we're super excited to have another little boy joining us in early June, I think I would probably be more anxious about a girl now that I've gotten so used to boy-mom life. But hey, we finally have settled on a name!

Braden-boy is 18 months old (as of like 3 weeks ago, whoops), and I still can't believe it!! How has time gone by so fast?! We started a tradition of having professional photos taken on the kids' 18 month "birthday"...because I kept forgetting to schedule a photoshoot with Connor for his one year birthday until he was already 18 months old...so now all the other kids get to have theirs at that age ;) It works out pretty well though! 18 months is such a fun age!
