thebarksdalecrew: Baby Bark #2

Heinz (okay mainly me and Brad) were excited to announce that Baby Barksdale #2 is on the way!

#babybark2 will be here in August. Official due date is August 13th.... Just in time for the beginning of the school year. Hey... Who said timing is EVERYTHING?

I have been extremely nauseous and just blah the past few weeks. The doctor gave me some medicine for that and I am beginning to feel better. Praise the Lord!

All is well and we are so excited (and nervous) to welcome #babybark2 into our crew!

"Mama, what is this?"

His shirt says "Mery Christmas to me because I'm a big brother to be!"

And then it turned into a chasing game...

Dear babies,

We love you so much and we are so excited to be a family of 4! Heinz, you're going to be the best big brother! Baby Bark -- you are already so loved!

August will be here before we know it! #babybark2 #summerpregnancy #swollen

Ha ha.

We had a fun New Year's Eve celebrating 2015 and Mimi's birthday. It was so fun spending the evening... and early morning hours at my parents house! We loved having Anna, Hunter, and Monica here to celebrate with us! I probably was not the BEST host but this morning sickness aka all day sickness had me like WOAH. Thank goodness for meds and that it is definitely on the sunny side now! Ben, Teresa, Connell, Clara, and Charlie were also in town for a few days which was so fun! 2016 has been great so far! We just got home from a quick weekend in Columbus. We attended Teresa/Nana's swearing in ceremony for her new job as Circuit Clerk of Columbus, MS. We are so excited and happy for her! What a great accomplishment -- now onto a great term! On the way back (okay, a little out of the way) we made a stop in Starkville to visit friends, to visit my old school Sudduth, to visit my people at my fave pilates studio Midtown Pilates, anddddd of course to get slightly emotional. Well, I did. No one else did. SHOCKER! I love living in Memphis but I loved living in Starkville too. I truly feel as though I have two cities that I can call home. The Barksdale crew is looking forward to another year with our family and our friends. We are so thankful for God's constant blessings and grace.

Here are the very FEW pictures I took over the New Year!
