Wyn Aubrey Ludwig is here!!!

Wyn Aubrey Ludwig

7lbs. 9oz. 20 and 3/4 inches long.

Born Monday, October 25th at 11:25am.

We went in at 6am and things went quick! Going from 4 hours of pushing with Myles to 4 pushes to get Wyn out I am still shocked it went that fast. Oh and I love epidurals! :) We are so blessed and excited to have her in our home. She is so sweet and reminds us some of Myles. She is quieter though. :)

Our first family picture. Myles is a gentle giant and very shy around other kids, even his tiny sister. This was as close as we could get him in the picture.

Sweet babe

The littlest mermaid.

Wyn is a mermaid for Halloween. My brilliant sister, Tess, gave me the idea and encouragement to sew her some mermaid fins. It was so easy and has given me more confidence when it comes to sewing.

Another family picture of us in our Halloween costumes.

Myles is a race car driver.

Wyn the Mermaid.

And me and Kenny are the scariest of all; tired parents!

Kenny got this great shot of Myles and his motorcycle. He's so sweet! He loves to run back and forth with his motorcycle.

And our mermaid girl again.

We are so thankful for these children. They are just so sweet and fun to be around.

Sister Time, 37 weeks, and Haunted Houses!

A Halloween tradition Kenny and I started two years ago, and something I will not let go of, is making our haunted graham cracker houses. I LOVE doing this! And this year we included Myles. It was so much fun!

Kenny made a ghost mansion (on the right) this year and said that's why it looks so happy and colorful. I made a haunted dog house (in the middle) with no dog. And when we asked Myles what he made he said, "Stonehenge, of course." (Actually he pretty much just ate the candy and graham crackers and didn't want anything to do with the frosting!)

Here I am yesterday and at 37 and a 1/2 weeks. I look and feel like I am going to pop.

My wonderful sister, Tess, came for my baby shower. It was so fun to see her and her baby Graham. I miss spending time with her!

Graham and Myles crack me up when they are together. Myles is very shy around most people and just keeps saying, "Hug, hug, mommy hug" when he gets nervous. Graham is so friendly and fearless in new situations. He loves other kids. So to watch them together was so funny. The funniest thing of all was to see Myles' personal bubble completely dissolve when they took a bath together. He seemed to like having a friend in the bath to play with.

I love this picture of Tess and the boys! So cute!!

Tired sisters. We couldn't seem to get a picture of us where we didn't look exhausted. Oh well, sister time was just what I needed to finish off this pregnancy strong!!! Thanks for coming Tess!! And thanks to all who were involved in and came to the baby shower! It was so much fun!

So now we just have days to go until we welcome our baby girl into our family. I am excited and really nervous. We can raise two kids, right? I'm mostly worried for Myles and how he'll react, but I know in time he'll be happy to have a little friend. So give me all the great advice that all of you have collected with raising more than one child. Please, tell me your secrets.

A birthday and a bath!

I turned 28 at the beginning of September. Weird! At 27 I still considered myself in my mid-twenties, but 28 is definitely late twenties!!!! Yikes! It was a nice day though and Kenny got me a series of books that I fell in love with: The Hunger Games. Here's some pics of the celebration.

Here's me at 31 weeks.

I didn't really want cake. So we had brownies with ice cream and mint balls! It was DE-lish!

Myles loves the bath. Kenny was taking pics of him and Myles wanted to participate.

Reaching for the camera. His arms look so long in this picture!
Daddy very carefully let him snap some shots and these are what he got.

We love this boy!

End of the summer pics

Here are some end of the summer pics that I've been way too tired to post. Summer was so great, but I am so glad it's fall!!!!

These are in no particular order. Sorry, again I'm too tired to put them in order.

Sleepy boys!

It's so fun that Myles will sometimes snuggle with us now.
