Adios, 2012.

Crazy to think that 2012 has come and gone. How did it go by so fast. What was I doing that was so important I forgot to take a step back and realize an entire year had just passed. Holy smokes, lets see...

Danny turned 26.

Lucas turned 1.

I turned 26.

We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary :)

First family vaca to Florida.

My sister turned 17 & chose her future college. Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers!

My best friend got pregnant, got married, and then had her baby!

We bought our first home!

Renee welcomed miss Lexi into this world and Alicia welcomed baby Annalise! How blessed are they!!! Congrats loves!

Mom had a hard battle with anemia and she won!

My grandpa gets weaker everyday, but I'm trying to make the best of every little moment we share!

We announced that we are expecting a second baby in July 2013!

& now were ringing in the NEW YEAR!

Wowza! Here's to a happy and safe 2013!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

This year was a huge difference from last year. Lucas is walking, talking and giving me grey hair. But I wouldn't trade it for anything else. He loves his new gifts and found his favorite saying of the week was Ho! Ho! Ho! It's too cute.

This year we went up to lapel for a few days. Spent a lot of time with my mom and family. Lucas even got to play with Callie while I attended a high school game. They had a lot of fun.

Dad and sis and myself spent our time shopping which is what we do every year. He likes to have the both of us together and what better way to do it than shopping lol. What girl doesn't like to have her daddy swipe his card for all things she will probably only wear once or twice. Oh wait, is that just me? Didn't think so. Kate got lots IU stuff and I got my "mommy clothes" but Kate kept calling them fat girl clothes. Not cool.

We left Christmas morning after opening gifts. Headed back to Cincy to have Christmas with Danny's mom and brothers. We had to make a pit stop on the way because this mama wasn't feeling good. A quick trip to the toilet to upchuck my waffles and I was exhausted. Back on the road and we arrived shortly to his moms after 12:00.

What a weekend! I couldn't have asked for a better holiday with my family! Can't wait til next year for new memories with our new little one and Lucas as a big brother. My heart is happy<3

Bump ahead.

Well now that I have an official due date. I can finally start my weekly Bump photos. I know the first few arent much but it's always fun to see how far your little miracle grows. Cheers to the weeks ahead and happy growing :)

Due date: 7/25/13
Pre pregnancy weight: 126
Cravings: pickles, pizza, chocolate milk

Such a joy.

Lucas and I sneak away to the playground whenever we can! It's right across the street. Why not!
Both of us bundle up, put on our favorite hats & load up in his little car and head over. His favorite thing to do is the tunnel. He laughs and laughs at me while I try to "get him" from the other side. He also enjoys playing "I see you" in it.
It absolutely melts my heart to see him enjoy the littlest activities.
It could be my hormones but I couldn't even imagine life without this little guy! And to add to this family another baby boy or girl just makes me so happy. How could I get so lucky!?
It makes me take this pregnancy much more serious and not be such a whiny baby! I am going to enjoy the moments with Lucas as he winds down his last months of being an only child & thank God everyday for the baby to come.

God is good<3

Thanks.

Thanksgiving this year was a bit different. We had the pleasure of hosting our first holiday in our new home. Mom and sis came down on Wednesday and stayed til Friday. They were amazing. Mom helped clean like normal and cooked her little heart out. Sis helped me keep Lucas occupied and out of the way. It was so nice to have them down for the holiday.
We went to the Kleckner side for a little bit then rushed back in time for our gathering at 4:30!
Debi, Paul, Michael, Jon, Brittany, Tim, Mom, Sis, Lucas, Danny & myself. It was a small crowd but LOTS of love. So glad we got to spend the holiday together.

Only child. Expiring.

Well...its official. Baby Kleckner #2 will be arriving in July 2013. Our little family couldn't be happier. My heart couldn't be more filled with love. So blessed to be able to experience this miracle once again. Lucas is going to be an amazing big brother. He will be 2 years & 4 months old when the new addition arrives.

Fingers crossed for Pink :-) but obviously another boy is ok too!

Our first ultrasound went well. I go back in 2 weeks to confirm my due date. Fingers crossed for a healthy and safe pregnancy :)

God Bless<3

Lounging.

One of my favorite things to do with Lucas is lay on the couch and make videos. He loves seeing himself on the screen of my IPhone. Many videos have been taken this way & I cherish all of them. I cannot upload the video from the blogger app but heres a screen shot :)

This weekend we did alot of lounging. Why not?! It's the weekend. Happy Vets Day too! I get one more day off with my little fam<3

Seriously, how adorable is our little guy!

In love.

Isn't this the cutest thing. Ever.

HOO-HOO-HOOSIER!

It's official. My baby sis is going to be a HOOSIER! She was accepted into INDIANA UNIVERSITY today! I couldn't be more proud of her and all that she has accomplished! Congrats bebe! Muah!
