The Barb Bunch: Baby #2

Hello! My name is Vanessa and welcome to my blog. I started this because I wanted to have a way to document my babies and I just didn't have the creativity or time to scrapbook. All the amazing friends I have made along the way are just an extra blessing! When I'm not trying my best to be a domestic goddess you can find me taking pictures of my children, spending far too much time curled up with a good book...I mean my Kindle, cheering on my man Peyton Manning (Go Broncos!) and probably searching my house for chocolate.

Dave is an amazing father and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives. He spends his days in the ER helping others and attending school to become a nurse practitioner. When he isn't at work or school you can find him playing with the kids, watching movies or football.

Kensley is our first born. At four-years old she is the absolute light of our lives and she cracks us up on a daily basis. From her fashion sense (princess pajamas and tutus) to her total love for her brother and broccoli, she definitely keeps us on our toes.

Rowan is our two-year-old baby boy. He spends his days smiling and talking, counting and pointing out shapes, playing with cars and trains and reading books, cuddling and loving on Mama and Daddy and trying to get away from his sister.

Baby #2

I had my ultrasound this morning to date the pregnancy. I am officially 10 weeks and 2 days and my due date is July 12th. The baby's heart rate was right around 172 which was much higher than Kensley. Her heart rate was in the 140's and the nurses all guessed she was a boy ;) Guess that heart rate doesn't tell you much! My blood pressure was a little low 100/62 but that was not a big concern and I have already gained 4 pounds and the nurse informed me I should only gain 20 to 25 total. HA!

They told us everything looks good and sounds good and we feel so blessed. What an amazing Christmas gift!
