Jay Found His Sound

You know the Friends episode where Ross pulls out his old keyboard to show everyone his "sound"? Well, apparently Jay found his too.

It's A......

Surprise!!! The cord was in the way and the legs were together. I always wanted a surprise baby, but Jay always said we were too poor for surprises :) Now that I got my wish I really would rather know! I have a regular appointment with the Dr. tomorrow. Maybe I can convince him to take a little peak :)

Cold Hard Truth

Being pregnant with baby number 2 is sometimes a little hard on the self-esteem.

This is a picture of me pregnant with Jack at 20 weeks. I kind of looked like I just had a big lunch.


This is a picture of me pregnant at 20 weeks this time.


So, my question is.... Is this baby going to be about 16 pounds when it is born, or is my body just that stretched out?

I am never going to have my 20 year old butt back, am I?

Sigh.

Colorado

We got to escape the Virginia humidity for almost 3 weeks! Colorado's weather was much more pleasant!! I went out with Jack for fun and Jay went out to work with his mom. We only got to see Jay on weekends and Jack was not pleased about that. But, we had a fabulous time!! So much fun that I didn't take many pictures!

Jack loved playing with his cousins. He tried soooo hard to keep up with them. He now has 3 little heroes that he asks me about each day. Poor Mya was just his punching bag, but he still asks about her, too :)

Don't you love the pet spiders?


Country life seems to suit Jack just fine. He wanted to be outside the WHOLE time. He loved playing in the hose and finding sticks and throwing rocks. He is pure boy.

This is why I love Colorado. Blue skies and views that go forever.


The best thing about being in Colorado was seeing my parents. After living with them for a year, it was hard to take Jack from them and move to Virginia. They were thrilled to have him there. He followed them around all day asking, "Whachoo doin'?". I'm sure they don't miss answering that question 100 times a day.


We are happy to be home, but can't wait to go back soon!!

Jay finished his summer class this past week! No more school until September!! Wahoo! We spent the weekend celebrating and doing nothing responsible :)

We spent Saturday with our friends Kaitlin, Taylor and Alyssa at the pool. It is always nice to have the guys with us. The kids preferred to play with their daddies and it gave us girls a chance to work on our tans :)

Jack and Alyssa are a funny pair. They get so excited to see each other and then they fight the whole time they are together. Jack torments poor Alyssa and teases her. I can't believe she ever wants to play with him. I am hoping we are having another boy. I just don't think Jack would quit bugging a sister.


Jack loves getting pictures taken. Can you tell?


On the 4th, we started off with daytime fireworks! I have never seen them before! These are smoke fireworks shot off from Mount Vernon (George Washington's plantation). We sat a little downriver from them and got a great show! It is so cool to live so close to so much history! Especially this time of year.




We were still in our church clothes, so we just rolled up Jack's pants so he wouldn't destroy them.


Jack found the puppy of his dreams. They sat in the shade together and played. It was love at first sight. I tried to get him to ask Jay for a puppy because I thought it might work better, but his language skills just aren't quite there yet :)


Later we met up with Kaitlin, Taylor and Alyssa for fireworks on Ft. Belvoir. It is the army base just a few miles from us. We thought of going up to the National Mall to see the fireworks but decided against taking Jack up there to fight the crowd with 300,000 other people. Our choice was wise and we had a great time on base! They put on a great show.

Jack and Alyssa really do have a fun time together....as long as there isn't a toy or snack to fight over :)

I thought I got a lot more pictures but apparently I didn't....so Kaitlin, I stole some from your blog :) Now you don't have to worry about emailing them to me :) Ha!


Kaitlin is 35 weeks along and I am just a measly 15. Doesn't she look great?!


We really like spending time with the Read's. Unfortunately they are moving to South Korea in a couple of months. I don't want to talk about it.

Aren't these two the cutest?

Once again Jack was really put out to have to have his picture taken while he was trying to play.



My two handsome men. I am one lucky girl!

Hope you all had a lovely 4th of July!

Pregnancy according to Jack

Jack thinks morning sickness is hilarious. Every time I am sick he is right behind me to mimic after I finish. This actually came in handy when he had the flu and threw up in the toilet instead of on the carpet!! One positive side of morning sickness!

Boobies

Jay takes Jack to the pool on days that I have to work. They have a great time and always stay for hours. Today Jay had to bring Jack home early because Jack wouldn't stop pointing at all of the girls and saying, "Boobies!!". Our kid is a perv.
