Happy 2nd Birthday!




Two years old today! So much time has flown by and it feels like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. Hunter has grown into the sweetest little boy and I am unbelievably proud of him. He is going to make an amazing big brother soon.

We had a blast at Hunter's 2nd Birthday party this year at Mountain Gate Park in Corona. It was 104 that afternoon but we had reserved the shelter and the shade helped a lot. We had about 30 friends and family come to celebrate, and a very special guest came by to wish Hunter a happy birthday too.... Mickey Mouse!







August has just been preparing for Hunter's birthday party and putting off packing. I haven't been feeling very well this month and lack the energy and motivation to start boxing things up. But now that Hunter's party is over we are left with 2 weeks until moving day and I better get my act together. We are supposed to close on September 14th, moving on the 17th if all goes well.

2 weeks after that, on October 1, we have made an appointment for a 4D ultrasound to find out the gender of Hunter's sibling. So as long as the baby cooperates, my next post will be a big announcement! I also got to hear the heartbeat at the last doctor's appointment. 175 beats per minute. Baby is nice and high already, it took the doctor a few frightening minutes to find it because at 10 weeks its supposed to be just above your pelvis. But she found the beat right below my bellybutton. There's nothing like hearing the perfect, rhythmic pulse of your child's life growing inside you. Beautiful.
