28 Weeks, Bry's snow hut and Valentines Day.

28 Weeks today! So excited to start the third trimester. The Snow Hut! Andrew, Richard and Bryan after building the snow hut. Working on the Snow Hut. Richard, Andrew, Paul, Eric and Bry.

The area where the snow hut is about to be built. Kira and Maggie. Kira so happy to sit in a big girl chair. Kira "brushing her teeth" Kira eating strawberry shortcake for Valentine's Day. Kira and Bry reading on the couch. Kira taking her new Valentine's "Doggy" everywhere...even to cook. Kira wanted the chocolate so bad! Kira reading her cards from the grandparents on Valentine's Day. Kira ready to open her present on Valentine's Day...A very pink doggy. Kira playing with her kitchen set.
28 Weeks is finally here! Very happy about that. Can't wait for the next 12 weeks to fly by. We had a very eventful weekend with friends coming up to spend the weekend with us. The boys decided to build their yearly snow hut and winter camp but this year when they were done with building they realized how old they were and decided to come back down, order a pizza and sleep in their own beds. We also had a chewy emergency, He had to be taken to the vet at 2:30am on Saturday morning because he couldn't breath. He has a collapsing trachea that is in pretty bad shape so now he is on a steroid, antibiotics and a sedative. After a week if he is not better we may have to put him down. I am hopeful though and he has sounded so much better these past two days since they put him on the steroid. Keep your fingers crossed for the little man, He is my first baby!

17 Months.

Bryan and Kira at the rink.

Kira rocking and singing to her bear :)

Kira helping in the kitchen. Bryan made Kira a fort out of his blanket and needless to say, there was a wee bit of static in there :) 24 week picture! We have decided to name her Kit Ashlyn Howard.

She is doing amazing so far and measuring right on. I felt her kick for the first time at 16 weeks and Bryan felt her at 18 weeks. So much earlier then with Kira. Our due date is May 16th, very much looking forward to it :)

The Holidays.

Great Grandma Howard trying out the sledding hill. Everyone had a turn, I think the adults liked it more than Kira! Grandpa Howard taking Kira down the hill. Bryan bringing Kira back up the hill. Kira in her sled, it was her first time and I don't think she was thrilled about it. Kira trying out her new snowsuit. Kira was trying to make a break for it but Grandpa Howard was just too fast. Kira drinking her milk with Grandpa Howard. Kira helping put together her new kitchen set from Grandma and Grandpa Howard. Kira cuddling with Grandma Howard. Kira in her brand new hat from Grandma and Grandpa Howard. Kira dancing with Great Grandma Howard. Kira opening one of her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Hopper. Kira and her new rocking bear. Bryan bringing Kira down on Christmas morning. Great grandma Howard and Kira in the truck. Kira being silly. Kira eating some breakfast. We were so thrilled to have Bryan's parents and Grandma Howard out for a visit over Christmas and New Year's. Kira was loved on the entire time (Of course!) and Bryan and I were able to enjoy the occasional nap and sleeping in. We found out the week after Christmas that we are going to have another little girl in May! Poor Bry, he is going to be outnumbered, don't even get him thinking about the teen years :) We also decided to sell our house, it went on the market today and hopefully we will be out of it by time the new baby comes. We are not overly confident in that seeing the market is awful but our fingers are crossed. A lot is going on but we had a wonderful time over the Holidays and can't wait to see what this year brings.
