Surprise!

Baby Lahnum 2 at 12 weeks

2 under 2! 

Yep. Come Feb. 1, I'll be taking care of a toddler who barely slows down to sleep and a newborn! Baby 2 (nicknamed Sneak) wasn't planned just yet, but safe to say Chad and I are thrilled. 

After months of planning a surprise getaway for our 30th birthdays (we're just 8 days apart), the biggest surprise was on me.  That morning, and the day after Avery's 1st birthday party, I took a test since I was a little late. One of the planned stops on the trip was a winery so I wanted to be safe.

After the initial shock ... we both grew more excited as the day went on and were talking baby names on our way to St. Louis.

It will be hard (as people keep reminding me), but how great will it be to have kids so close in age. I have a sister not even 12 months older than me, and it made all the difference growing up. 
I also just left my pr job to do freelance writing and be a full-time mama. So that will help. And that's actually what this blog will be about.

The world doesn't need another mommy blog. But I do need a creative outlet to highlight this huge transition in my life. 

So even if it's just my husband and sister reading, that's enough to justify it for me. :)
