Just Hanging Out

ah, the lazy days of summer.....

Actually, these pictures were taken around 10:00 in the morning, after feeding April, showering, breakfast, folding and putting away laundry, putting April down for a nap, Chloe's breakfast, changing into 'real' clothes, more laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and feeding April again.....

So maybe not too lazy, but still wonderful :)

Chloe was hard at work on a drawing....in between stares across the street to the roofers working at our neighbors house. April was happy in her bouncy seat watching the world go by.


Simple joys:



I asked Chloe to show me her drawing:

and then I asked if I could take a picture :) Here is her masterpiece:

Looks like a great day so far! Isn't it amazing what a mom gets done by mid-morning?! I have been meaning to comment on your blog for several posts now, but my thoughts fit equally well for this one -- both girls are beautiful and I am excited to see you guys in a few weeks! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
