GYMNASTICS

Little Wade has completed season 2 of Gymnastics. His first year, Wade absolutely loved his coach. He would always ask about Coach Cody, Wade even wanted to name the new baby Coach Cody.. Wade  loves Gymnastics and always asks when he gets to go to Gymnastics. This year he had a new coach, Coach Leslie. Wade did not take to Coach Leslie as fast as Coach Cody but after a few sessions he warmed up and enjoyed his time there. Wade loves the bars and the trampoline, or any time he gets to bounce around. He has improved his summersaults, and bum drops. He also is strong and able to swing on the bars. 

HEARTBEAT!!

Today I had one of my monthly Doctor check up's. Macie came with me and when it was time to check the heartbeat Macie got to help. It was a pretty neat experience hearing the heartbeat with my first born with me. The heartbeat was 154BPM's, and we booked my 20 week ultrasound (although I will almost be 22 weeks) for March 24th.  Everything so far looks good and we are just deciding on weather or not to have the baby hear in Cold Lake, or travel to Lethbridge and have the baby were we have lots of family to help us and a bigger hospital.

Little Skaters!!

In January we went and bought some used skates from sport check and decided if we were going to invest in skates, even used ones we need to make sure we use them. Every time Mark is on days off he tries and takes them 2-3 times. Yesterday was about there 6th time going and wow they were finally taking off. Macie is full on skating, and Wade with the plastic helper is a machine and for the first time yesterday was skating without any help. The kids have had a blast with Dad going skating and I have loved watching them gain confidence and get better every time.


These pics are from the first time they went.

GOODBYE 1ST TRIMESTER!!!

Oh Man I am not going to lie, it was a rough one. I have never thrown up so much in a pregnancy let alone my life. Dry Heaving was also endless and feeling nauseas pretty much 24/7. Our Heavenly Father has a funny way of answering prayers. When we got pregnant with this baby I knew I was going to be worried all the time, I would pray to my Heavenly Father for peace knowing everything would be OK with the baby, and he brought that in the form of "Morning Sickness". Every time I threw up I knew that meant everything was going good with baby. Thankfully that pesky 1st trimester is done and now it is on to a growing belly and trying not to gain 100 lbs. I have been craving heavy carbs like crazy so this could be an interesting 27 weeks. I try to go for an hour walk everyday to even out all the pizza, donairs, subs, sandwiches, burgers, and wraps.

We have decided to wait to find out the sex of the baby, and we are really struggling with names, so if you have any good ones send them my way.

OFFICIALLY OUTNUMBERED!!!

Sometime at the end of July or beginning of August We are adding another Hunsperger baby to this family. I was a little scared and worried about trying for another after my miscarriage in June and my post partum depression, but I had this very strong impression one night that we were suppose to try again and there was another little one out there for us, and after my 12 week ultrasound today and seeing the little babies heart beat I feel at so much peace about this growing family.

BEST BUDS!!!

Macie and Wade are definitely not perfect and they have some personality treats that sometimes drive Mom and Dad crazy, but overall they are such good kids. Macie is such a pleaser and listens so good when we ask her to help clean up, Wade is such a positive kid and always making us laugh. One of my favourite things about these two kiddos though is how well they play together. They will go into there toy room and play for hours with no fighting, only laughter and fun times. The other day I had someone ask me, do they always play this good together, yes they honestly do.  They have the odd moment or usually it is the odd day, when they struggle and fight and don't play good together, but for being so close in age, and opposite genders there is very few times I am getting mad at them for fighting with one another. It definitely makes for a happy mom when I am cleaning the house, making supper, or just taking a moment to relax and I don't have to check up on them for any fighting. I also love how they are never getting into mischief when they are playing together. They just go hard playing with their toys. I've never once walked in on them colouring the walls, putting toilet paper in the toilet, getting into mom's make up or nail polish. Just being good, having fun and building a great relationship. I really hope this lasts there whole life. 

Firsts!!!

Today was Wade's first day of pre-school. He was so excited and did so good. No fear at all. When the door opened he said bye to Mom and went right in with no hesitation. His preschool teacher said he did so good and was such a delight to have in class. After preschool we then went to sports check and bought some used skates for the kids and took them skating for the first time. Wade was a little more hesitant with skating but still tried it a couple of times, but Macie was a machine. She absolutely loved it and after about 40 minutes of practicing with Dad and a chair she was off all on her own. So proud of her and excited to watch her over the winter gain more confidence with her skating.
