This Gray Train is... growing!!

We are so excited to announce our second baby, due September 24th! I just went to my second appointment today and saw the little arms and legs moving! I'm starting to feel a little better, which is so nice! This pregnancy has been so different, it makes me think it is a boy! I can't stand to drink cola of any kind (for those of you who know me well, please don't die of shock)! My cravings are mostly for fruit! I went through an apple phase, a peach phase and this morning I had two bowls of blueberries for breakfast and have since had two grapefruits :)

A funny story.. For those of you who don't know- Chad's brother Clark and his wife are expecting twins! This will be the THIRD set in our church congregation. Everyone is wondering if something is in the water! After our first appointment, Chad called his mom on our way home and had her convinced we were also having twins! She almost fainted.. poor Vicki! We are just having one baby and I'm totally okay with that :)

So as my sweet friend Kara pointed out, I haven't posted in FOREVER! I just get so blog lazy sometimes.. I'm usually on my phone rather then a laptop so I don't get around to it. But here are some additional updates in our lives:

My little brother Bryan finished his Chemo and so far is cancer free! His is hair is coming back in and he has been able to return to work and school! He is one amazing person! I never realized how much people go through when they have Chemo! I think he had the majority of side effects, but he is moving on with life and we couldn't be happier to have him with us and healthy!

We took a fun trip to Utah and loved every minute of it. We just spent a ton of time with family and it was much needed! I found out I was pregnant while I was there and it was fun to share that with my family while I was there. I told Chad that I was expecting through a text msg.. I know I WILL never live it down!

We are currently living with Chad's parents in one room.. Layla sleeps in a pack-n-play in the closet. I was talking to one of my friends and she said "Oh, everyone needs one of those stories!" I totally agree! One day we will look back and laugh, we even laugh right now. We are only here for a few more weeks.. I can't wait to have Layla in her own room again!

Layla is growing up so fast! She is so fun and funny! She says a ton of words and loves to play with everyone. Sometimes when we are playing with her, Chad will fake snore/sleep and then she will wake him up. Now she has started to fake snore and it is hilarious! She loves to tickle everyone! When she wakes up most mornings, she lays in bed and just jabbers away sometimes tickling her own feet. I don't know how we could love her more, but we have thought that before. Here are couple photos of her:

Here she is pulling her total Cheese grin. We got her bubbles for V day and she LOVES them!

Layla's cool new shades.. she knows how cute she is when she wears them!
