The many faces of Nohl

Nohl has been getting more animated lately and we are loving every minute of it!

Birthday Fun!

I had a great time celebrating my 33rd birthday with friends this week! We did a taco bar with margaritas and it was very tasty!!! Cillian and his good friend Tekan had fun together too. 

Not sure what was happening here...one too many margaritas

Nohl fell asleep so quickly in Milena's arms.

Blue Margaritas!!!

Happy 1 Month, Nohl!

Sunday, little Nohl turned 1 Month old.  He is already holding his head up a little and sleeping well at night...well, most nights anyways. Haha. He reminds us so much of baby Cillian. We are excited to watch him grow and see his personality develop. 

Taken a couple weeks ago for our birth announcements

He wasn't the happiest during these pictures.Haha

Brothers and soon to be best friends!

Happy 1 Month, Nohl!

Family outing to the Castle Gardens

Took a walk through the castle gardens in our town. Cillian especially loved it because he got to ride a paddle boat and chase the ducks.

Having fun with Opa and May May

Happy 22 Months, Cillian and 3 Weeks, Nohl!

Yesterday Cillian turned 22 months and today Nohl turned 3 weeks. We are so very blessed to have two beautiful boys in our lives. Cannot believe we will have a two year old soon. 

Such a cute sleeper!

He's a cute sleeper too. 

Happy 2 Weeks Nohl!

2 weeks of sweet little Nohl in our lives. We are exhausted and blessed!!!

Cillian already loves him!

Can't wait to watch these two grow and play together

Welcome to the world Nohl Jones Rucker

Last Wednesday, May 15th, I awoke to a whoosh of water...my water broke around 5:30 AM and I knew that very soon Baby Rucker #2 would soon be coming into our lives. Around 6:00 PM we went to the hospital where we were registered. They told us every delivery room was occupied and then sent us to the other bigger hospital in town. When we arrived at hospital number 2 they told us every woman delivering had their water break the same day. Each room was full but it didn't take long for us to get a room. Lots of babies were coming out that evening! Around 3 AM the next morning I was 10 cm dilated and exhausted. It was a long time of pushing but Nohl finally came out at 5:47 on May 16th. He came out just as the sunrise came. Definitely the hardest and most painful thing I have ever been through (next time I will say yes to the drugs, haha), but I am so grateful with the outcome of our new baby. We are beyond blessed and excited to have a second healthy and beautiful baby!!!
