This Day... One Year Ago!

On this day one year ago.... I found out I was going to be a mama of two!  I nervously took the pregnancy test at 4:30 a.m. hoping it was positive and knowing that mornings were the best time to get an accurate result.  I was shaking and shocked when I saw the two pink lines!  I already knew in my heart it was going to be another boy.  God had given me a peace and excitement about being a mama of boys before my first one arrived on April 21st two years earlier so as the months went by and we were able to find out the gender of #2.... I was not at all surprised when I heard "Its a Boy!"  I absolutely love my two boys so much and this mama wouldn't have it any other way!  There is never a dull moment and lots of sleepless ones but my heart loves these boys so much that those two pink lines I saw on March 5, 2015 were just the beginning of this crazy, amazing journey as a family of four (ok... five with our favorite pup, Burke!)  When Maddox arrived on October 26th last year, I just sat and looked at my little family and felt like we had created a home.  I will never forget this day (March 5th) as long as I live because it meant we were going to have our sweet Maddox in a few short months and life would never be the same!  Here are some pictures from our week before the flu hit the Houston household.  Zander tested positive for the flu on Tuesday and has been going back and forth with a 102-103 fever since then.  We are trying our hardest to ensure Maddox doesn't get it!  It has been a group effort with daddy, Grammy and Grandpa working around the clock!  I took a day and a half off from work and finally Grammy is getting a little time to relax this weekend after the crazy week.  Pray Zander starts to feel better..... it breaks a mama's heart to see her child in pain and not be able to fix it.  Pray that Maddox stays healthy.  I can't wait to have our little family back together again cuddling in the same room rather than having to keep our distance!

Not always pleasant moments! :)

A fun afternoon at the park with the Bakewells and Kennedys (the day before the flu hit)

Dinner after our park outing

Maddox at his 4 month checkup! We fit in some four months shots this week too so he was somewhat fussy after this!  He weighed 16 lbs 5.5 oz!  That is almost 3 pounds more than Zander weighed at this point!

Got our Magic Bands for our upcoming Disney trip!

Our pup is worn out from taking care of his brothers this week!
