Big News!

That's right....Brayden is going to be a big brother!  We are expecting our second bundle of joy in March 2012.  I think Brayden will be a great big brother...he loves to be around babies already.  I'm sure having one permanently in the house to share attention with will be a little different, but hopefully it will be easy for him (and us!)  The last few weeks have been a little hard for us, as I have been struggling with morning/all day sickness and exhaustion on top of a very busy work season.  Greg has definitely earned the title for "Husband of the Year". He has helped SOOOO much with entertaining Brayden, cleaning, cooking, etc.  I am feeling a little better the last few days, so hopefully the worst is behind me now.   We are very excited and can't wait to meet our new little one!!

Happy Birthday Song

Today is my 31st birthday.  It was a mostly quiet day with a small family celebration this evening.  Brayden was very excited for my birthday.  He greeted me this morning with "Happy birthday, mommy!  I want to go to your party!"   Poor thing had to wait all day for my "party" when we could finally eat the cake he kept staring at.  My parents, brother and nieces came over to help us celebrate, and Brayden led everyone in singing "Happy Birthday".  He has quite the vocal "abilities" and loves to sing at the top of his voice, especially at birthday parties.  It always tickles me!  Below is a clip of him singing to me earlier today (this is a very sweet, calm version, not nearly as dramatic as he can be! )
