Powell Party of 4 is COMING!!!!

We have been keeping a little secret for a few months now…


Baby #2 is on it's way!!!
We are so excited I will probably cry all over again typing this.

We have hoped and prayed for this baby for quite a little while now and goodness we are so happy.
It still feels a little surreal!
This baby, ( boy or girl ) is so loved already.

Someone is going to be a BIG BROTHER...


And he is pretty excited about it.


I am convinced Ryan will be the best big brother in the history of big brothers.
He is definitely in for a surprise.
Being the only child / only grandchild on both sides of the family, he is ( SLIGHTLY ) spoiled.
However, spoiled or not, he's the sweetest, kindest little boy with the biggest heart and he will love this baby so much.
He already kisses my tummy multiple times a day and asks "Mamma is baby coming today?" HA


We found out I was pregnant on the earliest day possible to find out.
 I started meeting with my doctor when I was 4 weeks along and have been going in frequently for blood monitoring and tests.
This pregnancy has been a little different than with Ryan.
Because of past experience we have had quite a few doctor visits rather than the once a month appointments you have on a normal pregnancy :) but it makes me feel so much more peace to see my baby growing and my blood levels staying on track.
So far, the baby and my body are completely healthy and it's such a blessing.


I am 15.5 weeks pregnant and getting closer to that half way mark!
Happy to be out of the first trimester and feeling so much better!
I learned that being sick and chasing an active toddler is quite the adventure HA. :)


Mr. Ryan and I have the most special relationship.
He will always be my baby.
He is definitely a mommy's boy and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
We are the best of friends and I told him, we are doing this "new baby thing" TOGETHER.
( because we do everything together )
He will be my best little helper.


Ryan and the babe will be just over 3 years apart.
He turns 3 at the end of August and baby will be here end of September / first of October ish.


So here's to becoming a family of 4!!
Can't wait to document this pregnancy as I did with Ryan.
Baby ( boy or girl ) gosh we love you so much already!

  25. I am seriously so excited about this and I can't wait for more pregnancy updates! Ryan is going to be such an awesome big brother! I think being pregnant with a little one his age is SO. MUCH. FUN. Jack is basically obsessed with "new baby sister" and is always asking me questions about her and wondering when he can see her and he loves to feel her kick...it's SO fun! I'm excited to hear all about how Ryan reacts when he can start to feel the baby!
