Asher's 2nd Birthday

Monday July 27th was Asher's 2nd birthday. He is turning into such a big boy. He has been talking so much it is really cute. Here to celebrate with us was Nana and Papa and the cousins Emily and Rebecca. We had fun just swimming in the pool and enjoying the day.

New Baby Pics

Here are the new baby pictures taken at 12 weeks. We had a nuchal scan done at that time which tests for all sorts of problems. Everything looked great. The baby was asleep for the few minutes she needed to measure the neck, then she woke up and started to jump, flip and kick around. All three kids and Jeff were there to see. They were all so excited. Asher has been giving my growing belly kisses and calling it baby. I am sure he has no idea what lies ahead but it is still really cute.

Beach Camping and an update

So much, yet so little has been going on this summer. It seems like I have been doing nothing but yet I never have a minute to spare. I also realized that I never officially announced my pregnancy on our blog. So here it is "I am pregnant". It was a really big surprise. We are all really excited and can't wait to meet our little "girl". Yes, it is a girl (so far). The tec seemed pretty sure although I am only 12 weeks. She told me at 13 that Asher was a boy. Baylee can't wait to finally have her little sis. I have been feeling horrible. Staying home with 3 kids and having all day and night sickness is really hard. It is usually over for me by week 14 so I can't wait. This summer started out slow for us. Asher and I both got the flu and then about a week later Baylee came down with it pretty hard. She had a 104 fever for two days straight and was sick a little over a week and a half. She only got better about a day before we left for our camping trip. During the trip she was so exhausted the whole time. I felt so bad for her. When we got home there was a message from the school board that said 4 kids from our school tested positive for swin flu. So maybe that is what it was.So far this summer we have gone beach camping in Carpenteria, museums, beach day trips, San Diego, lots of swimming in our pool, and are planning a trip to Reno and Tahoe to visit family. Next week I am going on a trip with some other moms to Palm Springs without the kids. That will be a long awaited trip for me. The kids are really excited. They are really looking forward to my neices visiting us next week. They are counting down the days.
