My Baby and Big Boy "Baby"

I can't believe it is July!! I don't know where the year has gone but I am getting more excited everyday for this little girl to finally arrive. I was able to go in for an ultrasound today and Marty got some good shots of her face. It looked like she might be sucking her thumb so it's possible we may end up with 2 thumb suckers.
She is growing well and moving a lot. I love how you can see some of the chub on her cheeks in these pictures. Marty also said that he could see some hair so we might not have an almost bald baby this time. I am feeling pretty well. Just the normal complaints at this point...shortness of breath, the heat and constantly having to go to the bathroom. But it's all worth it in the end.


Atreyu knows something is going on. He keeps saying "baby, mommy" to me and then wants to be snuggled. He has to keep reminding me that he is the baby. I am a little nervous to see how he does with the baby but it will all work out (I hope). The two of us shared some Oreo cookies and milk the other day and whenever he eats those things, I just want to take a picture. He always looks so darn cute.


Jesse likes to play basketball a few times a week and we also had the NBA finals on a lot so Atreyu really likes basketball. As I was driving by the thrift store today, I saw that someone had donated a children's basketball hoop and since I was kind of looking for one I got out and asked how much they wanted for it. They weren't actually open at the time but since there was a volunteer out there, I was able to get it for $3. Atreyu was very excited for it!


I just had to post the next picture because I thought it was funny. Atreyu found the camera and took a picture of himself.

He started throwing a little fit before his nap and I was able to get a somewhat funny picture of him. If I take pictures when he's mad, it makes him more mad.


I am glad that I have been able to stay home with Atreyu and get so much one-on-one time with him. He can be so much fun and I just love being with him. It's a kind of bittersweet feeling having this new baby coming. I think I may miss having time for just me and Atreyu but I am so excited to welcome another little spirit into our family. We are truly blessed.
