Another LONG time coming post

Well a short time after my last posting...our lives were turned upside down with amazing news. I was PREGNANT with our 2nd baby. Yep, when Camryn was only 6 months old.

Here is an update by month as to how everything has gone with us since November 2009

November 2009

We had a great holiday with my Mom and such and we also got news that we were expanding our family again by 1 and due in July 2010.

December 2009

A really nice first Christmas for Camryn and I started showing a LOT earlier than I did the first time. Enjoying more Capitals hockey, of course.

January 2010

I had a surgery to help keep our little peanut inside and not have to endure bed rest like I had to last time. As luck would have it, it was on the one year anniversary of being admitted for Camryn...LOL (Jan 27). Everything went well.

February 2010

Bi-weekly ultrasounds and all is looking good, still having issues but nothing major. Which is good news. BLIZZARD and LOTS of snow. 2-3 FEET to be exact.

March 2010

IT'S A BOY!!! We're having a baby boy, YAY!! So excited. Time to buy lots of BLUE.

April 2010

Camryn turned 1...Holy Cow, where has the time gone?? She had a great party and really likes cupcakes!! She is all about ELMO.

May 2010

Getting ready for baby, got to actually have a baby shower. YAY!!!

June 2010

Happy Birthday to meeeee....no vacation this year Booooooooooo.

July 2010

July 13th I went into labor...and didn't dilate at all so I had Hunter Reilly Polk on July 14th (via emergency cesarean) at 12:32am. Measuring in at 8lbs 3 ozs and 21 inches long. He spent some time in NICU, due to fluid in lungs. But he was able to leave the hospital with mommy. YAY!!

August 2010

Camryn loves her new baby brother and she is cruising around really good too. Almost ready to let go and walk. Hunter is doing well, Mommy is really sick...internal infection (not good) lots of pain and medicine. But it cleared up after 3 weeks. So thankful for family and friends who helped me out.

September 2010

Camryn started her new class (Lightening Bugs) at school and is doing SO well. And I started back to work with Hunter tagging along (not like anyone minded, LOL). Camryn has begun walking without help...YAY!!!

October 2010

Hunter started at the CDC, in Little Lambs 1. It was rough not having him around all day. But he is doing so well, he's smiling and laughing now.

November 2010

Holidays have arrived...Thanksgiving with hubby, kids, my mom and sister...so nice.
Camryn is starting to talk a whole lot more...new words each day.

December 2010

Christmas arrived and flew by, Hunter really didn't get it but loved all of the colors and lights of Christmas. Camryn loved all of the new things to play with.
So blessed to spend it with family.

January 2011

Hubby and I got to go away for 2 nights (thanks to his folks watching the kiddos). We went to NJ to spend New Years with Justin and Josie instead of going to the Winter Classic. Had some much needed "adult" time. We had a BLAST!

Camryn is starting to talk in mini sentences and is sitting at a big girl table when she eats and Hunter is now eating solids and sitting in the highchair. He loves food. He's already 17 lbs at 6 months old...he's starting to outgrow his 9 month clothing already. Hunter was moved to his own room too. Both kids are now in their own rooms and mommy and daddy have their room back.

So far that is what I've got...I'm so sure I left waaaay too much out. But I at least wanted to make an update. Can you believe how much has happened in a year. WOW!
