Chasing cars


My friend and I went to the mall the other day with our boys, and let them go and explore the motorcycle store! There were signs that said not to let your children sit on the bikes, and so we were trying really hard to keep our kids off! But, then one of the workers (there were like 4 guys working there) told me it was okay. They have those signs because some parents will come and leave there kids in the store for hours etc... Anyways! So the boys were having a blast, and the guys liked them too! They pulled out their remote-controlled cars and everything for them! We want to take them back soon.

Forever Pregnant....

37 weeks (supposedly)
Oh and sorry about wearing the same shirt.... It usually tends to be my Monday shirt, but I guess I thought I'd go crazy this week and wear it on a Tuesday!!! (How glad I will be when I get my full wardrobe back;))

I think I will be forever pregnant. I think that would be a pretty big punishment. Like to be stuck at 37 weeks forever, and the baby never grows or gets smaller... Okay, so I don't think that is going to happen. But, I am still measuring 33 weeks, and am supposed to be 37 weeks. My first ultrasound was showing that the baby was measuring to be due on Aug. 20th... but they kept the due date as the 14th because it wasn't that big of a difference. But, since I am measuring small, I am going to get another ultrasound on Monday, and we will see what it says now! Hopefully, she is just hiding in my back or something.

The river walk!

We just love going and walking by the river close to where we live. Q loves to play in the water!



This video is of Q throwing rocks in the river. I remembered to tip the camera the other way, mid way through taping. (I always forget that.) A few minutes after this video was taken, my little boy was, of course drenched!!! And man was it hard to get him to want to leave. He is getting quite the temper these days, when he knows what he wants... which is most of the time. He is definitely becoming a big boy! We put him in his big boy bed this past week and he seems to love it. We did it, because he started waking up in the middle of the night a lot. I wondered if it was because we were on vacation and didn't have a crib and now he hates his crib. So, we tried the big bed.... and thus far, he has been sleeping much better!

On other updating news, things are going well. I am making some fun friends (which I am so happy about.) It sure makes a difference, especially since G has been working so much lately... they have been nice and busy at his work. Q is making friends too. OH, and he spent his first real time in nursery yesterday!!! (one week early... I asked them if it would be okay, just because every little bit helps.) And they said he did really well. He didn't cry or ask for us once! But, apparently there was some tackling going on. I don't quite know how to teach him that not all kids like to play football. Anyways... I'm still feeling good with 3 weeks left! We are getting more and more excited, though. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow. These once a week things make time go a little slow. Okay, the end. Until next time!!

30 Days to go!!!!

Nothing new to update... I was just really excited when I realized only 30 days to go!!!! I do have to say though, that I don't know if I will mind if this baby comes late. (Which I know, I may be just cursing my self...) But! I haven't hit the really uncomfortable stage yet... Quincey sleeps through the night, and I am able to sleep through the night too, so far.... (cross our fingers that it stays this way.) When I was prego with Q, I remember the last 3 or so months it was hard to sleep, but I haven't had that problem with this one! So... although I am so excited to meet our new addition, I am enjoying the sleep! I am not saying that I wouldn't enjoy being able to bend over, or see my toes, but I have a feeling I might go late anyways... so, I am trying to be positive!!!!! The end.

Happy Birthday!




Geren's Birthday was yesterday. He is now closer to 30 than to 20, poor thing. Or, I guess it can be a good thing, depending on how you look at it. For example, he never had the game Rock Band for PS2 when he was 25! ;) We had G's brother Jody and his family (the other New Mexicans) over for a party! and party we did! We formed a band (Q was on vocals) and we had cake and ice cream!

More prego updates!!!!!

So, we are about 35 weeks now! I sure have noticed the temperature going up as the summer continues, but... let's be honest, I am not a big fan of summer heat in general... even without being pregnant, so I wouldn't have liked it without being pregnant either... but I am sure it doesn't help being big and carrying around a toddler on top of it! I am happy to say as well, that I haven't had any problems in the sleeping area so far. (knock on wood)... so, as long as we stay inside with my air conditioning (except, of course, for the occasional run to Sonic's happy hour for 1/2 off drinks) we are just fine! We are getting really excited for baby #2 as it gets closer and closer. It will definitely be a big change!

Goodbye binkie!


Q has now graduated off of the binkie! Or, I really should say that I have. I swear I was becoming way more addicted to it then he was! I loved being able to just put in the plug when it got too noisy! But, mostly it was just a nice and easy way for him to get to sleep. And I was nervous about church without it as well... but he did just fine yesterday without it! well, anyway... it has been a whole week, and we have noticed no signs of withdrawals from either of us! So proud of my big boy!
