Baby Boy has finally arrived!

We have had a busy few months. In February we moved, Yay! We have a simple 2 bd/2ba apt. Austin did so well sleeping in is own room. I thought he would have some trouble since his naps and nghttime sleep was becoming terrible before. But he slept like a baby for naps and night as soon as we moved. And he went back to his usual self of just waiting in his crib and not screaming.

We were expected baby boy #2 on Feb. 22, however despite my giving him an extra week leeway he didn't come. So we had to start the induction process. Luckily I had a midwife that was very helpful in keeping my natural birth plans, so after only one round (I was supposed to have 2, then get pitocin) of Cytotec, she let me go the res of the way by myself. Although I can say that baby was already on his way by time of my induction day so that helped. I guess baby already p[lanned on coming that weekend. Anyway, March 4th at 1:25 a.m. our little (well, not so little) Owen Michael was born. He was way bigger than Austin. Even giving him the extra week, still put him much bigger. I taught Aerobics 3 days a week, it was supposed to help keep my babies a little smaller. But thats ok. It kept me in shape at least. I had my own weights : ) Austin is getting more comfortable with Owen. He likes to lay on him, and play in his bouncy seat and travel swing. He doesn't like it when Owen cries, but he loves to point to ALL of Owens body parts.

So we are now a family of 4. I have my boys, and hopefully will get some girls in the mix later on. My boys all keep me on my toes. Austin loves to dance, Daddy is unsure of this interest:), and loves music. He dances with the song "Step in Time" on Mary Poppins. Owen around one month started smiling. He likes to make his brother cry. He teases him. Both boys love to be outside and with this nice weather right now, who can blame them?

Danny has 2 part time jobs that allow us to be living on our own right now, and we are so grateful to have work and our own space. Unfortunately 1 is in far away and keeps him away from home before Austin gets up (which is really early), and doesn't bring him home till we are getting into bed. Hopefully by the end of the year we will have condensed to 1 ful time job, and then we will be looking for a house to make a home. Danny and I can't wait to have a backyard for the kids to play in.

And in a nutshell;
New home, New Baby, Danny and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary, Danny is finishing up his Masters Thesis, Owen celebrated his first Easter, I am going to attempt a sprint triathlon again this year in June, Austin will turn 2 in May, I will turn 30 in May... and more to come!
