26 weeks

So I have one more week till I am in the 3rd trimester. Here is a belly shot of 26 weeks. And if I get my induction date, I have about 3 months to go. That is really not that long!







And here is a good one of my little nature lover. This tree is in our "backyard". Gotta love what the humidity does to her curls!




Eden and I will be in Vegas Sept 16-26. We would love to see anyone and everyone who is available!

Kansas Life

A lot of people have been wondering what it is like to live in Kansas. HUMID. And far far away from anyone we know and love. But other than those two things, it has been pretty great. This is the townhouse we are renting. Very typical Kansas architecture with the pitched roof and monochromatic paint. It is hard to tell in the photo, but the place has wood siding, also very typical.

We do lots of the same stuff for entertainment that everyone else does. Eden loves these water fountains. Of course this was in the early evening and the weather had started to cool off.

She got blasted in the face a couple times. Priceless reaction. Once her shirt was soaked she wanted to take it off and then she wanted to pull her pants off too. She got about this far and then Daddy scooped her up to avoid public nudity.

Since it is usually too hot to play outside midday, we had to come up with some new ideas. Today we tried finger painting for the first time. A big success. And a huge mess. I had to throw her in the bath before nap time.

Sorry there aren't any pics of me and my burgeoning belly. I am always the one taking the pics. I will try to get some more up soon.

belly shots

I have had several requests for belly shots. So here you go! This was taken last night so I am about 23 1/2 weeks. Keep in mind that after dinner I always look biggggg!
Notice the Bella Band in full use. Pretty much a daily thing. Oh and my belly button has already started to pop out! Crazy how much faster everything happens the second time around.

YAY!!! We are so excited La. Eden is going to be the best big sister. Me and Jordan are exactly 3 years apart, and we really had fun together! Just don't let Edie dress him up as a girl (He said that was pretty traumatic).

UPDATE!!!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!! We got a surprise phone call from the OB's office last evening and they told me I had a level two ultrasound scheduled for this morning. So I popped on over and was thrilled to finally get a good look at, well, the goods. We are so excited. Now we will have one of each, what could be better?!

still no news

For those of you who have, like me, been dying to know if we are having a boy or girl this time around.... I STILL DON'T KNOW!!!! After a second ultrasound with no results other than a guess, we are left to continue wondering. My next appt is Sept 5th. So there won't be any news for quite a while. Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
