Hoping this finds you all well. We are enjoying our February weather up here (for those of you who are away). Yes, I actually said we are enjoying our weather, and I'm not being sarcastic! It has been in the low 60s and absolutely amazing for the past couple of weeks minus a couple of days of rain in between. We feel so spoiled, could this mean an early spring?
January was wonderful, we haven't really slowed down much like we usually do after the holidays. We've had a lot to do with the coming baby, none of which has really gotten done unfortunately, and a lot to do that has had nothing to do with the baby but more with us having fun! Malachi is so active that we are finding ourselves trying to be creative with activities to do to wear him out, we always end up more tired than him somehow but we are really enjoying every stage with him.
On January 20th Matt & I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! We also took the afternoon off to get our first peek at our new little one and were told we are having another boy. We are both so excited, it will be really special for him and Malachi so close in age to have each other. We know we are going to be so busy!
Matt's inital response was, "well honey the only thing was, I was looking forward to taking Malachi to do guy stuff and leaving you with a little girl to go do girl stuff with"....my response back, "I guess this just means you'll be taking both boys to do guy stuff while mommy gets lots of spa days!"
Over an early dinner to celebrate our anniversary I also informed him that I didn't think I was done having babies, we'll see! Thank you to Omi for allowing us our first afternoon alone in as long as I can remember :)
Over the past few weeks we have been consulting with the doctors regarding Nic's birth and with their advice have decided that a c-section is the safest for both him and I. It looks like Nic will be joining us on or around May 18th! It's really exciting to have a date on the calendar, it's coming so soon.
February has been wonderful so far with our weather. I have spent a lot of time outside with Malachi, lots of walks and our new favorite thing, feeding the ducks. Grandpa Stan joined us the first week of February and took some beautiful pictures.
We spent Superbowl down at the Auers enjoying the sun, taking long walks to see the cows and of course Matt shot skeet. He also brought home his duck that he had shot and cooked it for dinner on Monday night. Can't say it was my favorite but hey, at least he eats what he shoots right? Lets just hope he doesn't take up possum hunting anytime soon....
Malachi and I have had the chance to spend a lot of time with Grammy Sweet these past couple of weeks. We went to the zoo together the second Tuesday of the month, another sunny day, and had a wonderful time. Yesterday we packed up early and hit the road for the beach. It was the most beautiful day I have had on the Oregon Coast my entire life. It was warm, hardly any wind, and absolutely pristine.
Malachi ran his little legs off, and ours too. We will be making many trips out there in the coming months, hopefully with daddy too this next time! Making memories like these has been such a blessing and so special. Parenthood is the most amazing gift I have ever been given.
We hope this finds you all well, and enjoying sunshine in whatever part of the world you are in.
Much Love,
Matt, Corrin, Malachi & Nicodemus Coker
