Summer Time

Well it seems to be flying by. Jaz has already been home a week and a half. She is enjoying summer camp. They went bowling yesterday. She got a spare and was pretty excited about it. Today they go swimming and I believe tomorrow they go to Grant's Farm in St. Louis, which she is super excited for. She has been talking about wanting to see the Clydesdale's for quite some time now.

Cress and I went to our last (we hope) sonogram yesterday morning. She is a healthy baby girl (for sure). ;-) They said that people have been more likely to make mistakes on predicting it is a boy and it ends up being a girl - never really the other way around. She currently weighs 4lbs and has about 7 more weeks to grow. The last 4 weeks they can gain up to a 1/2 pound a week so we're thinking she will be around 7 or so lbs. She already has some hair and we got to see her yawn twice, it was pretty cute. She is practicing her breathing which is a good sign. The doctor said that she is quite the active little baby and I quote "Man, I feel sorry for you guys. I think you're gonna have your hands full." But I guess between Cress and I, I really wouldn't expect anything less.

The nursery is almost ready. I got the bedding in the mail yesterday and I am hoping that my dad can get the crib together sometime this week. We decided to use Jaz's old crib, we just needed to get all new hardware - it was lost at some point. So I'm leaving it up to my dad to put it all together. (Thanks Dad) Once we get it all finished I will add some pictures to the blog and maybe, just maybe I will add a picture of the current baby bump.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. We enjoyed fireworks over Lake Springfield on Friday night. Then on Saturday we got quite an interesting show at Illinis Country Club. The sky was a bit hazy from raining all day. The fireworks would light up the entire sky and seem to appear out of no where. It was quite a show. Well that's all for today. Have a great rest of the week.

Nick, I am so grateful for a healthy baby girl! Thank god! I bet Jaz is soooo excited. please put a picture of your belly on here. Wish I could see it in person. The pictures on this website are just awesome. You did a great job. I love the Key West pictures. The picture of Kim and I at Hogs Breath is slowly coming back to me. "Long day!"

I will have Cress take a picture this weekend. Plus I have my shower this weekend so I am sure there will be a picture to post. I am starting to feel like I am all belly now that is for sure. :-)
