Wyatt's first St. Patrick's Day (week 9 pregnancy)

We were both so excited for Wyatt's first St. Patrick's Day! Nick and I love the holiday and couldn't wait to celebrate it with our little man! He of course had a few outfits to sport before and on the day - I think he is a perfect little Irishman! :) Thank you to Sandy for the bib - since he always needs one it was nice to have a festive one ;) Wyatt has also been hanging with the dogs a lot more as we continue to try and motivate him to crawl...they seem to be the only thing he cares about :)

As for the pregnancy, baby is now 9 weeks made :) He/she is the size of a grape and the tail is almost gone. Eyelids are formed and the heart is completing its 4 chambers. I am feeling pretty good, just extremely tired. We are really excited for our first appointment on the 28th and in the meantime will go in for our first trimester testing. I am looking forward to my second trimester...:)

Other than that, we are just laying low and trying to rest before the crazy spring/summer kicks off. We are headed to LA for a wedding the first weekend in April and from there it seems every weekend is full until baby #2 arrives! Oh - and then of course there is March Madness starting which is a serious event at our house :)

Go Zags!

Baby Bales #2 ON THE WAY!

Yes...we are just crazy enough to have two kids under 2 and only 15 months apart :) We found out two weeks ago we are expecting! We are so so so excited and can't wait to add another kiddo to the Bales clan. It was so much fun telling family and friends...we got quite the range of reactions :) Nick made a onesie for Wyatt that said "Big Brother" and I made a shirt for Nick's side of the fam that said "6" on it for the 6th grandchild. We can't wait until we have a family of 4 and are so incredibly blessed to have what we have. Below are the details of the pregnancy so far, and then we have a few pictures (including one of new baby!) to share :)

• We are 8 weeks pregnant
• Due October 19th
• Had an ultrasound and everything is right on track!
• Have a dr appt on March 28th

Excited family!

Spokane Trip

Wyatt took his first plane ride to Spokane so we could go visit family last weekend - it was SO MUCH fun! I must say, Wyatt did very well on the plane (even other passengers were commenting!) and we had a great time visiting Mike, Molly, Natalie and Caden. Wyatt had many firsts in Spokane, he went to the park, went on a swing and had a bubble bath :) It was really fun hanging out, seeing extended family, having a BBQ, going out for dinner/drinks and playing with the kiddos. Thank you to the Thompson's for hosting us and for hanging out with us :)

Here are some pics from the weekend...

Love,

The Bales
