Its been far to long..UPDATE

I cannot believe its almost been a year since I have done a post.

For an update of our lives.

Cooper
  • He is turning two a week from tomorrow
  • He keeps us on our toes as he is running and constantly going
  • LOVES to read. He will get stuck on a book and that's all he wants to keep reading- currently its -Go Dog Go- his big truck books- and thank you God
  • not only has a wide vocabulary already but he also repeats everything we say
  • remembers peoples names
  • sleeping in his big boy bed in his new big boy room (we moved him at the beginning of Feb)
  • makes us laugh all day long
  • even though he is all boy he still likes to have cuddle time- his new favorite thing in the morning is to cuddle in mommy and daddy's bed
  • starting to really play with kids his age and to watch them play is so fun
  • still a good eater but sometimes is picky( the other night he ate a plateful of broccoli and the night before Brussels sprouts)
  • LOVES Holland and always wants to play catch with him
  • likes to kiss mommy's belly and say hi to his baby brother (lets hope he is as excited now as when he actually comes)
Afton
  • Currently almost 34 weeks pregnant with baby boy. This pregnancy has been a lot different then when I was with Cooper. I was pretty sick at the beginning and now I am dealing with gesational diabetes as well as measuring 4 weeks ahead. As of right now we have a scheduled c-section for the 21st of April but we are just hoping to get to April 6th right now. Other then being pregnant I def. have been nesting and getting the house somewhat ready for the baby.

Ryan

  • At the end of January Ryan was let go from his Job. Even though its been difficult we are very blessed that he is with us right now to help me with Cooper and daily life but also just the time we all get to spend together. We have been very blessed and thankful for all the prayers during this time as Ryan is looking for another job.
So that is a quick little update about whats going on in the VP household. I am going to be better about this blog, I have to!

Here is a little peek at our little guy when he was 20 weeks. We cannot wait to meet him and to be a family of four.

Good update Aft, I HAVE been missing your blog :) Still keeping Ryan in our prayers - we know all about jobs ending and career transitions (too much, in fact!) and it's not fun, but so happy you get to have this time as a family of 3 before you become a family of 4. Can't wait to see you soon!

I was wondering if you were ever going to write on this thing again! :)

I will be so jealous if you have your baby before me, but I totally understand how uncomfortable and hard it must have been this time around.

Can't wait to hear more updates about life and your little ones.
