Baby update




Today I went in for my 30th week appointment. The baby had been measuring small when they measured my belly so they did an ultrasound. Her legs, arms, and head were all in the 75th%, BUT her little abdomen was only in the 7th%. So they mostly think she's just going to be a lean tall baby, but to make sure she's getting enough to eat they'll do another ultrasound in two weeks. I think she'll look just like Riley, so hopefully she keeps on growing like she has been. Here's my belly shot finally. I don't know why I haven't documented the growing belly lately, I guess it's just a bad habit.

Enjoying the last days of summer


Here are just a few pics of Riley enjoying the sun. We were at Jarom's company picnic, she loved eating sno-cones all day and sliding down the slide.

New Tile Floors




So the exciting news for the week is that our tile floors are finally finished. We got the 3 bathrooms and the kitchen done. It looks ten times better than before. All of the major projects on the house so far have been the floors all throughout and of course the deck. Now I think I want my living room to finally be painted... stay tuned.

Riley's 1st day of preschool


It's amazing how fast kids really do grow up. I can't believe I was taking Riley to school, yes, just preschool, but she seems so big now! I was worried that she would be really clingy and throw a fit when I took her in. But to my surprise she held my hand with her lunchbox in the other, went inside, hung her lunchbox up, and when the teacher asked her to see what they were doing... off she went. She didn't even look back. Erin says of course the real test is next week, since now she knows where she's going and what will happen. The teacher said she did really good and seemed to enjoy the math section the most, especially tracing geometric shapes. Guess she won't be taking after me since I hated math. So I think she'll really enjoy it, especially when her little sister appears in three months.
