Train Park

The picture above was taken in April of 2008 but I want you to get an idea of the size of the train. About two weeks ago we took the daycare kids to this same train park http://www.therailroadpark.com/index1.html and Weston really wanted to sit in the caboose which is very small and enclosed. It was fine with me so I sat on the floor of the small train along with all the munchkins. I'm sure it was a funny sight to see me sitting in there. I thought I would share the photo Danielle took of me. :)

Las Vegas

Last weekend we went to Las Vegas to visit family. It was a fast, busy trip but we are glad we had a chance to do it. My mom flew in from California and it was nice to see her before the baby is born. My mom took this picture of us at the resort and I thought I would post it. I haven't shared any family photos in a while. I'm still needing some pregnancy photos which hopefully I'll have taken soon. Weston was quite sick during our trip but he was a trooper and is feeling much better now. I'm 8 months pregnant now and counting down the days until we get to welcome our new baby boy into our family.

2nd Ultra Sound

These are the ultra sound pictures that were taken today. If you click on them I believe you can see them larger. If not, I will re-post them individually. The first picture is of a foot, the second picture is of his fingers, and the third picture is his face. The baby weighs 3.2 lbs and is doing great.

Weston was in the room today for this ultra sound and he had me laughing so hard. When he saw the heart beating on the screen he said "oh look it's a fishy". He also said the face was an elephant and at one point he said he saw a turtle. You would think I have a zoo in my tummy. He also thought it was very entertaining when they put the gooey gel on my tummy prior to the ultra sound.

As of today I'm 28 weeks and heading into my seventh month. I promise I will post pictures of me soon. I've been terrible about photos this pregnancy, I'm hoping Mark will take a couple photos of me this weekend. Then eventually I need some of the three of us. Before you know it our new addition to the family will be here.

Hospital Visit

Well, I had my first hospital visit today (it was not planned). I'm only 28 weeks and do not want to see the inside of a hospital for at least another 8 weeks.

I was having pain that wasn't normal and after being sick with a stomack bug for the last week my doctor's office thought it would be best if I went down to triage to be treated for dehydration. Sure enough I was have contractions as well, so they decided to monitor me for a while. Our baby boy is doing great and all of what I was feeling wasn't affecting him too much. He was very active and had a strong heartbeat. That was all great news to hear.

So after a couple hours there I received an IV of fluids and they decided it would be okay if I went home. I'm still having pains but after taking some medication and getting rest I hope to start feeling better. I have another appointment on Friday along with an ultra sound so we will do a follow up then. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Weston

(I didn't focus quite right on this one, more things I need to practice on.)

I love this one because it shows he's chipped tooth that some day will fall out.

My favorite photo.


So Weston and I were doing some house work today and I decided to let him have some fun and have a little photo shoot. I'm still playing with my camera a lot on manual mode and I wanted to get some more practice. Fortunately I have a pretty good little model. :)

Silly Boy

I know it's been a while since I've posted I'm not too great with posting new things each week. We are all doing great and enjoying the great weather we've been having here in AZ. Weston has been enjoying some popsicles even. Each time he eats one he gets a colored mouth. I was playing around on Friday taking pictures with my new lens I got for my camera and I took this picture.

I took a photography class yesterday from the wonderful Sarah Goodman http://www.sarahgoodmanphotography.com/ . If you have a moment take a look at her website, you will fall in love with her work!! I'm so excited about everything I learned and I hope to see my photographs improve. I will share a couple of photos in the next couple of days.

Have a great week.
