First Lesson


I told Chloe it was finally the day of her first ballet class....and she said "I'm nervous." 

Once I explained that I wasn't just going to throw her out of the van and wave as I was driving off, she calmed down.  I resisted having her walk in with April and I - she was a few steps ahead, walking confidently, and I let her :)  I almost tripped over her once we got inside though, because she had stopped dead in her tracks.  We found her room and in she went! Then, they closed the door! So, this is the only picture of the 'class time' that I have....

This little Miss wore her shade the entire time we were there, and then we headed to a near-by playground to swing while we waited. 


Totally cool ballerina, looking for her water bottle.  I asked her what she did, and she said "ballet stuff". :)  
I was proud of how brave she was, trying something new with no tears! She woke up the next day expecting to put on her tights and go again :)

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 ...

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.
