More Summertime Fun

Oh boy I have not been good about updating what is going on in our lives.  We have had a good summer  minus the record heat.  It makes for a very hot mama and not "that kind of hot".  It has been a crummy summer to be pregnant, but I am not sure there is a such a thing as a good season to be pregnant.  Scott has been traveling a lot, but is now home for a couple of weeks.  We are soaking him and the rain he brought with him in as much as possible. Scott and I were able to take a trip to the Florida Keys just the two of us in June while Milo stayed with Nana and Papa.  It was great to spend time with Scott and it is always healthy to get the chance to miss those that you love.  And we really missed Mo! I think the best way to tell you what else we have been up to is to show you....

Baby #2 Ultra Sound Photos

Scott and I went to the ultra sound for Baby #2 on Monday.  I am 21 weeks which means I am officially half way.  We did not find out the gender.  We are going to wait until delivery day.  We loved not knowing with Milo and decided to do the same with this one.  Baby is developing perfectly and is very healthy.  I was diagnosed with Placenta Previa.  Which just means that the placenta is currently covering the cervix.  It is fairly common and there is a good chance that as the uterus grows the placenta will move out of the way.   We will go back at 32 weeks for another ultra sound for a follow-up.

Little Feet....Pitter Patter...

Glenwood visit for Grammys Birthday

This weekend we headed over the mountains to Grammy and Grandpa's house.  We had a great weekend full of all sorts of fun. Below are some pictures recapping the highlights from the eyes of Milo.  There where alot!!!

 We started out each morning with a soak in the hot tub. 

 I got to spend some quality time with my Grammy.  Check out my new cool shirt.

 Grandpa let me play on his tire swing.  This is a picture of me working on my smile.  For some reason it always gets a laugh from the photographer.

 I helped consult grandpa on how to fix his hot tub leak.

 Grandpa and I pick up rocks and threw them over the edge.

 Every once in a while one would get stuck on my foot and Grandpa would take care of it for me. 

 See Daddo, this is how we do it.

 I am VERY into bikes these days and if there is a helmet included, jackpot.

 I watched some soccer.

 Daddo and I did some swinging.  Sometimes I would kick him and he would fall down. It was hysterical!

 Then I would apologize.

 Then I would do it again...hehe.

 We worked on our band. 

I even helped Grammy make Gnochhi...It was a great weekend!!!!!!

Farmer Aschermann

We have been a busy crew lately.  The majority of our weekends  have been spent working on our new homestead.  Even though we won't start construction on our house until next year we are already starting to feel like home here.  I wanted to make sure that we have some pictures of where we started....

 Farmer Milo is very excited to spend the majority of his weekends outdoors.

 Here comes Daddo in his new truck...a 68 ford that he purchased from his boss for a whopping $1.  Money well spent. 

 What is left of the rotten cottonwood tree after Daddo took a chain saw to it.

 Check out the concentration.

 We have some fruit trees and lilac bushes on the north side of the property.

 Why the sad face?

 Anyone coming with me?
