2013 Year In Review



January - this was when we announced that Baby #2 was on the way!  We were so excited to share the news and couldn't wait any longer. 


February - nothing major happened this month but we did get to see our little man for the first time.  Of course we didn't know he was a little man yet but we were so happy to see him!  We also tried to have a nice Valentine's Day dinner out with our daughter but that didn't work out too well.

 

March - we had tubes put in Baby Girl's ears this month in hopes that the ear infections would stop.  The tubes have done their job and she hasn't had an ear infection since!  Baby Girl also turned 15 months old this month and had another perfect check up!


April - we found out that little man was in fact a little man this month!  This was also the month we decided it was time for me to be a SAHM.  We also decided on our little guy's name and Ashlyn got her first hair cut!

 
 
May - aside from celebrating Mother's Day, this was a pretty boring month.  Nothing major went on but I did participate in a blog every day challenge.  Of course I don't like to blog on the weekends so I skipped some but it was still nice. 


June - this was a big month.  I turned 30, we celebrated Father's Day, Baby Girl turned 18 months old and we confirmed that Little Man was in fact a little man with our 3D ultrasounds!  It was also the month that I had my little fall and had to spend four hours in the OB Triage center to make sure our little guy was ok.



July - this is the month that I finally became a SAHM.  I finally left my job.  Glorious!

August - this was a pretty slow month until the end when our Little Man was born!



September - my first month with two kids.  Bryan's birth story was posted, we celebrated our 3rd anniversary and I blogged a lot about my struggles with breast feeding (Issues, The End, Update).


October - this was another slow month for me.  I didn't post much but I did make updates on the little guy.  This was the month I finally decided to allow nature to take over and decide my breast feeding fate.  I went pink for breast cancer awareness and so did Ashlyn!


November - My little guy turned 3 months old...gah!  We were pretty slow this month aside from celebrating my husband's birthday and Thanksgiving.



December - Baby Girl turned 2, Little Man turned 4 months old, we had our family photos taken, sent our awesome Christmas cards and celebrated an amazing Christmas!  On a sad note, my Grandmother died this month.



That's it for me for 2013.  I still have quite a few posts to catch up on like Baby Girl's 2nd birthday, Little Man's 4 month check up and a Christmas re-cap but 2013 is OVER!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
