Hello everyone! Nate here filling in for Abby again. As you can tell Abby doesn't write a whole lot anymore. She mainly sticks updates on Facebook and Instagram. However I just wanted to write a quick post saying that we had our second child this past Tuesday!
Abby once again was a champ in the labor. She went at it all natural and I am proud to say she is the toughest woman I know. A tough labor this go around as she had a lot of back labor but at 11:23 we welcomed our new son Weston (Wes) to the world. Abby is recovering really well this week and we are looking forward to getting into our new routine as a new family of 4!
Made a little video for the little one similar to what we did for a video before Reid was born. Hope you enjoy.

Christmas Vacay
This year Christmas Vacation couldn't come fast enough!!! Our goal was to make it as low key as possible as this would be our last Christmas as a family of 3!
Nathan still had a bit of 'business' to take care of before we could really relax. Tuesday before Christmas he had another colonoscopy, then on Wednesday morning he had an MRI of his guts to check everything out. The colonoscopy didn't go quite as planned as he ended up going into A-Fib (atrial fibrillation - an irregular hear beat), so they attempted to wait it out but it never calmed down so they ended up doing it anyways with 12 heart leads instead of just 3. He has had this many times before when he is dehydrated or if he drinks to much caffeine or a beer or two - however, he's never had it happen in front of a medical professional so I don't think he's been taken seriously when talking to the doctor about it. So it was kind of a blessing that it did happen as they were able to getting a reading which he can now take to a cardiologist. The downside - we have to go to the cardiologist. :( His dad had the same thing and had a surgery to burn the inside wall of the heart which helps to reset the electrical activity of the heart so we'll see if he has to do that or if he can manage it on his own for now.
Christmas Eve we went to church, then Grandma and Grandpa Robinson's house for dinner. We did something different and it was so much fun! We had fondue - cheese, oil and chocolate and of course a table full of Christmas goodies. It was fun and DELICIOUS!! After dinner we opened gifts and played well past bedtime. Finally we put on jammies and headed home. Christmas morning we woke up and had gluten/dairy free cinnamon rolls which were surprisingly AwEsOmE!!! We've been experimenting with recipes a lot the last few weeks and we've found some really amazing dishes and some really AWEFUL dishes. After breakfast we opened our stockings and our presents. Mister was completely spoiled and got some awesome VTech car tracks and clothes and paw patrol figures to name a few. We played all day long on Christmas. Nathan was talking to Talon and Will's dad in the afternoon and it ended up they were home just hanging out as well, so we ended up going there for dinner and the boys had a blast playing! It was definitely an unconventional Christmas for us but after our 2014, it was perfect!
Monday and Tuesday of New Year's week I went back to work and then had the rest of the week off. NYE has become more and more over hyped as I get older. This year we were all in bed by 10:30 and it was FANTASTIC!! New Year Day we got up and went out to breakfast in our jammies - which Reid thought was so cool.
In between all our outings, we did a bunch of projects around the house. Here are a few of the finished projects...
Wednesday, while dad was getting an MRI, Reid and I went out for doughnuts!! He was beside himself that A - he got to go in his jammies and B he got to eat his very own doughnut!

I painted this for the babies room.
Husband made this from pallet's we've picked up over the last few months.
Some new decor for the basement.
Soon to be finished, this will be the co-sleeper for baby number two
Painted the changing table, husband was NOT very happy about this as he made this for Reid room and didn't want to change anything about it. However I finally convinced him that a dark brown changing table really clashed with my gray/navy theme I was going for.
Nathan was also due for a video, so here's a quick look at our Christmas Vacay. Hope you all had a great 2014 and blessings to 2015!
