At the Park



Sydney and I went to the park a few days ago. Even though it was the morning, it was sooo hot! Southern California has been having a bit of a heat wave, up in the 90s.

Weee...

Laundry basket fun with Daddy


Kinda long... 1 minute

Pushups with daddy

Pushup Ride on Daddy!


Syd loves to do this. She is daddy's strict personal trainer! Don't ask me why she doesn't have a shirt on... who knows! Pretty long... 90 seconds.

Braxton Hicks Contractions

Hello Everyone!
So... I have been having a lot more braxton hicks contractions (contractions that are "practice contractions"). Last night Luke and I thought we may end up in the hospital by the morning, but finally they stopped and I fell asleep. We were up most of the night, proabably only getting 3-4 hours of sleep. We are exhausted today. I'm still not due for another 3+ weeks, so this may go on for awhile. Hopefully we'll get more sleep soon.
Just thought I would keep you updated on the latest. Have a great Friday and weekend!

oh my!


This is what a pregnant mommy gets to see days later... I was told... "Oh, she'll be fine, I won't let her get hurt..." Maybe not hurt, but swept away in the ocean! Oh, if only I had been there--there would be some serious Mama Bear words!

Sunday after church

Nothing too exciting here. Friday, my girlfriends Ashlyn (and baby Jax)and Kathleen came over and we walked to Starbucks. It was great catching up with the girls. Sydney loves seeing Jax (only 7 weeks old). She waves to him and says "Hi." It is cute. Julie came over Friday night and we watched a chick flick (Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants). Luke and Isidro went out to celebrate Sid's new job he accepted here in Cali.
We got some chores done on Saturday. Cori and Matt stopped by for a bit (on their way to the airport). It was great to see them again. Their baby boy, Brayden is growing so fast. He is precious! We watched the movie "Stop-Loss" last night. It was a sad movie, but good to see. It's about Army guys coming back from Iraq and having to go back even though they want out of the military. I'm thankful that this is not our situation.
Church was great this morning. We are always encouraged by our small group.
I've been having some small, very mild contractions the last few days. Nothing to get excited about. I'm still 4 weeks til my due date. We are definitely ready for this baby. Any day would be great!

Sydney 23 months old

Swimming in the sand


Yes, I found sand everywhere, even in the diaper!

Yesterday on the beach


If only you could have seen how wet and disgusting we got! Sydney had a blast. Denise, Lois (Denise's mom) and Bailey also played with us on the beach. Fun times!

Toddler Days

This week hasn't been the easiest. I'm not sure if Sydney is sensing the change coming or what, but her tantrums are becoming more and more frequent. Maybe she senses the stress I have of trying to get everything prepared before the baby arrives or she truly is learning more about her own frustrations and how to control (or not control) them. Either way, we are both learning how to handle them.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle two babies at the same time? Sydney is still so young and I am worried that she will struggle with the concept of sharing Mommy. I've heard some good ideas about making time to spend with Sydney when the new baby is napping and also to encourage her to help me take care of the baby. Any more ideas??? I love hearing your advice!

Enjoy your weekend!

P.S. Some of you have asked about baby names... we are getting closer. We will let you know as soon as we have decided! (Hopefully sooner than later!)
