Basses Farm

Last weekend, we visited Basses Farm in Colgate. Marcus had his first pony ride, went on the train and fed some goats. Despite the chilly weather, we had a great time!

Life so far with 2 under 2

It's been about 12 weeks since Marshall was born. I go back to work on Friday and I have to say, I'm not dreading it. It was so nice to have the summer off. I got to spend more time with my sister who was home from college. I also got to spend some time with my friends that stay home/work PT. Best of all, I got to spend my entire days with my sons. As a mother to a toddler, it's great having the option to go to the park when he's going nuts cooped up in the house. It's actually become a daily activity. Marshall & I get a few days every week to ourselves thanks to my wonderful in-laws that baby sit Marcus. Mo & I are so lucky to have 2 healthy boys. Marcus is such a good brother to Marshall. We look forward to watching them grow up together.

Welcome Marshall William Robert!

I gave birth to Marshall 5 days early on July 13th. I started having contractions around 6pm and they mildly continued through out the night and into the morning. At 6am, I told Mo to pack his bag. We arrived at the hospital at 8am. I was still able to talk and walk through my contractions even though they were 4 minutes apart. I was really hoping we wouldn't be sent home for false labor. It turns out I was 6cm dilated! I pushed for about 40 minutes and Marshall was born at 1:19pm weighing in at 7lbs 15oz. He was 20.5" long. I have to say it was so much easier and less painful this time. Marcus was a pound heavier and looks like me. Marshall has his daddy's nose and is long & lean.

Summer Fun

We've been having an awesome summer. Marcus loves being outside, as most kids do. Here are just a few pics.

34 weeks

I can't believe I'm six weeks away from meeting my new son. We're so excited to have a family of 4!

CPK

I had a craving for California Pizza Kitchen's avocado club egg rolls. Mo is always game when I get a craving so off we went to Bayshore. Marcus loves going out to eat as well. He loves people watching and making sour faces as he eats lemons & limes.
