Jim worked on the Fourth of July, and, typical for the Seattle area, it rained. But JT and I had a nice time at our neigborhood BBQ. I was surprised that not only did he love the fireworks and booms, he wanted more and it didn’t startle him one bit. The neighbors thought it wasContinue reading “Fourth of July”

I had a checkup for Haley today and everything looks great. My doctor commented that my belly is “just the right size” but that I might not make my “goal weight” at this rate. It was a little funny because when I got weighed by the nurse she was concerned that I’d lost weight thisContinue reading “Baby 2 Update”

JT picked up a little cold this week. Either that or his teeth are really bothering him… or both. It’s tough to tell because he’s drooling all over and saying “teeth, teeth” but then again he’s got an icky cough and some major snot issues. Anyway, he loves the suction bulb for his nose. IContinue reading “A Little Congestion”

Have you ever heard that saying? I had to laugh when I came home from work (yes, still working a little over the summer!) and my mom showed me the videos she took on Monday. Apparently things get a little boring around the house and so they decided to send George on a wild ride.Continue reading “When the cat’s away…”

With ten ladies there are bound to be some kids around. Enjoying the pool Jim and JT eating theirContinue reading “Book Club BBQ”

We got a great spot right on the street in the sun, and had a lovely time. Watching for the tractors Staying hydrated SoContinue reading “The Big Parade”

I have always heard peaple say “kids are like little sponges” but it is more easy to see when you’re watching your own child, that’s for sure. JT sucks up everything around him and spits it back out when we’re not expecting it. It is so fun to watch! His airplane toy has continued toContinue reading “Learning Everyday”

With Jim’s crazy work schedule and our other commitments, I’ve been doing swim lessons lately. I don’t mind a bit… I won’t get to take prenatal water aerobics this time, so I’m loving the chance to get weight off my joints a couple of times a week. My mom came a couple of times toContinue reading “Swimming with Mom”

Wow, I can’t believe it… third trimester already. This is week 27! I had a checkup last week and everything looks great. I have to do my glucose tolerance test next week (yuck). I got a referral for physical therapy/massage for my sciatic nerve that is killing me. This happened when I was pregnant withContinue reading “Third Trimester!”
