Ahhhh summer time...

17 weeks and going strong. Started my weekly progesterone shots this past week. There is a nurse coming to my house every Weds morning to give me a rather painful shot of hormones. The good news is I saw little side effect other than headache. I can feel definite movement in baby now and daddy purchased a home doppler so we can check the heartbeat whenever we want.

In other news, the summer projects have begun. As I type my front yard is dug up. Braden, his dad and the boys have dug trenches (with the help of a rented machine) to add drainage away from the house and a sprinkler system. A significant saving versus having it done, but what a mess. In the process our front step is gone, so entrance only from garage or back door. However, we will be gaining a much better and more functional front porch out of the deal, and our basement should be saved from any water, clearing the way to start that finishing project.
Inside the house, I am in summer clean out/organization mode, and attempting to clear out the garage. So, keeping busy!

Emarie and visited a historical farm this week with her
babysitter pals. She had a great time,and misses her friends like crazy so that was great.
We also went home to mom's to go to a wedding of a family friend. Emarie liked the wedding seeing all the princesses, and dancing her heart out, not to mention the cake. We went with my mom, sister and her son, Ryan.
We had a sleepover at Nana's and got to visit with 'Jones' (my grandma) and then went to Abby's for a bit to visit with my dad. Good times had by all. Wish I had more pictures but my camera died. :(

IT'S A BOY!

I'm 16 weeks today, showing, and starting to feel better...physically and emotionally. I start progesterone shots this week, weekly for the duration. We went to the perinatologist last week and all looks good. We also got some new ultrasound pictures. :) IT'S A BOY!

It's summer break for me! Which is great for Emarie and I. Lots of time together.

We just got back from camping this weekend. Overall, a fun trip between storms. This was Emarie's first camping experience and she did well considering. Braden got us an air conditioner for the tent. :) So, my only complaint was the walk to the bathroom for both I and Emarie. We spent a lot of time on the boat and at the beach. Great time had by all. Here are some pictures of the weekend. I also attached a video of Emarie being a 'ham' as usual.
