Hanging with the Heacocks: September 2014

And then there were 4...

We are so excited to announce that this February we are expecting our second baby! Hannah is going to be a big sister!

And this time, we decided to do things a little differently and find out the gender of our munchkin at the 20 week scan...which was today! With Hannah, we opted to be surprised, but for me, that surprise was buried in layers of exhaustion, sweat, tears, and hours and hours of labor...so I'm not sure I fully appreciated it...

Photographic evidence of the aforementioned exhaustion, sweat, and tears...

We thought we'd let Hannah help with the "gender reveal" announcement, so without further ado, we are ~~pleased~~ ~~excited~~ thrilled to announce that we are expecting...

A baby GIRL!!!

Hannah has pondered it...

Discussed it with her puppy brother...

Asked for confirmation...

And decided she is cool with having a little sister :)

We think she's going to be a great big sister!

Meet our nephew :)

Over Labor Day weekend, we took a family trip out to Colorado to see Alex's brother, his wife, and our new nephew! Alex and I are both close to our cousins, so it was exciting to introduce Hannah to her first one! They hit it off right away - Hannah leaned in to give him kisses, rocked him in his rocker (under close supervision), and broke in all of his toys.

It was a quick trip, but a lot of fun, and I'm glad we will have these memories of our nephew when he was still so little and squishy! I had forgotten how nice it is to have a baby who just wants to be snuggled - and he is a great snuggler :)
