Baby Update

I'm 18 weeks now! The baby is doing great. We had an appointment a couple days ago and everything looked good. I scheduled my ultrasound and they couldn't get me in until August 22nd! I'm pretty bummed. I'm not a super patient person and I'm ready to find out this baby's gender! So, we won't find anything out until I'm 22 weeks! I've been feeling the baby move for a couple of weeks now. I love it! It is so fun! I guess that is about it. I'm very anxious for the ultrasound!

4th of July

 

We had a great 4th of July this year! The plan was for me to get home from girl's camp and then head over to Saratoga for a parade and some other events. But, I didn't get home in time. So we headed to Saratoga a little bit later to go to a community cookout, but when we got there we found out it was cancelled. So, instead we went to this cute little ice cream place called, Lollypops. After that we headed to the outdoor pool. Emma had a blast! She loved swimming with her floaties. It was so nice to swim outside and enjoy the sun and nice weather.

 

 

 

 

 

After swimming we headed back to Rawlins. Poor thing was exhausted. So cute!

When we arrived home we went and had a quick dinner at Buck's. We planned on going to a concert in the park and then watching fireworks. But, it was raining and this pregnant Mama was really tired so we decided to skip the concert.

 

As it became dark we went to our friends the Mills. We watched the fireworks and did sparklers. Emma's reaction to the fireworks was so fun! She just couldn't believe it!

 

Then since we just needed a little more fun, on Friday we headed to Laramie to go to the splash pad and visit our friends the Cauffmans. We only played at the splash pad for about 15 minutes before it was closed for lighting, but Emma had a blast anyways.

Exciting News!

Finally, we can say that we are having another baby! A Christmas baby to be exact! This has been a long time coming! I'm hoping the C-Section will be around the 20th, but my due date is the 28th. I'm 14 weeks now. We are sooooo excited! Emma has been so adorable. When we told her she yelled Yaaaay! Then gave us both hugs and kisses. I loved her reaction. It made me cry. Since, then she talks about the baby non-stop. She always putting her hand on my tummy "to check on the baby." I'm so excited to find out the gender. We should find out around the 1st week of August. I usually want the summer to last forever, but this one I'm okay if it goes a little faster. Yay for number 2! 

Splash Pad Fun

Recently we had some friends move to Green River so last week we went over for a visit. The splash pad in Green River was so fun. Emma had a blast! She just ran and ran through all the water. 

Here is one of her in her cute yellow dress!

Happy Father's Day!

 We sure are lucky to have our Daddy. Emma loves her Daddy and will play and play with him. Robert is so good at spending so much time with her. They are constantly playing or doing projects together. Emma's first words when Daddy comes home, are "Daddy let's play!" 

Father's Day dinner! Homemade pizza, veggies, and cheesecake. 

Swimming Lessons

It's that time of year again. Swimming Lessons! Emma has been a little nervous about the whole thing, but is getting a little more comfortable. She has more lessons all next week so I hope she is doing a little more. It sure is fun to watch her swim and learn. I'm glad we have a few things to keep us busy this summer. She is missing preschool like crazy!

Visit from Grandpa

At the beginning of the week we had a little visit from my Dad. It was so fun to see him and Emma loves hanging out with Grandpa! We had a relaxing couple of days in Rawlins. We went out to eat a couple of times, took Emma to her swimming lessons, visited, and watched some movies. 

Grandpa brought presents!

On the way to dinner!

Emma went on a run with Grandpa!

She wasn't a happy girl while Grandpa was finishing his run. 

Saying goodbye, it was a fun couple of days! We can't wait for the next visit!
