Spring Flowers

Finn and I enjoyed a beautiful day at the Arboretum. Amber and Audrey joined us there. We looked at flowers, ran around, petted animals, had a picnic, and listened to some music. It was fun but I think the main goal for us moms was a photo shoot. Try getting two 1 and 1/2 year olds to sit still. Crazy! There was a lot of singing, funny noises and faces. :)
The tulips and all the other spring flowers were just gorgeous! We had a great time and a great nap afterward. Finn did want to bat at the flowers so I kept having to remind him to be gentle. Boys! ;)

This was either right before or right after he was batting at the flowers.

"C'mon Momma, let's go!" (He is constantly on the go!)

Signing 'all done'

I kept sitting him down for pictures. He would stay for a minute or two but then kept saying & signing 'all done'

"Wawa!!!" exclaimed Finn.

Zoo Time

Friday was a gorgeous day and we spent it at the zoo with my friend Amber & Finn's friend Audrey. Finn really enjoyed the monkeys, petting a bunny, the horse, ducks, fish, crawling on the bridge, and the giraffe. Finn did NOT enjoy seeing the gorilla. He would not go close to the glass but Audrey had no problem at all being right up next to him. We got a membership to the zoo this year (thanks Nana & Pappy!) so we'll be heading there lots!

Big Brother Finn

"I'm going to be a Big Brother?!"

"Really?! - Cool!"

And... for those of you that don't know --

Also, I thought it's about time I shared some more info. about this pregnancy. With the house remodel, feeling sick, and taking care of a 1 year old -- time has gone by fast!

So, here we go!

~I'm 22 weeks.

~Yes, it's a girl! I was totally thinking it was going to be a boy though, because I have so many friends that have 2 boys. But, yes! We are estatic that it's a girl.

~I've been sick! Starting at 6 weeks and it is still happening. It's not as frequent now though, just a couple of times a week or so. But with Finn, I was only sick from weeks 8 to about 13. I do have a great little pill though that helps the nausea. :)

~No, we did not have to do IVF this time. It was totally natural and happened a lot sooner than we ever thought it would.

~My due date is July 25th.

~I just have a little bit of a belly so far. I'm still able to wear my normal clothes.

~I'm starting to feel her move lots!
