Say Hello To Baby Emma.....

No I have not had her yet....BUT we did have another ultrasound today and I was able to get a picture of her....

It's not a great one. I basically took a picture of the picture. I was too impatient to try and figure out how to scan it. She is doing wonderful. She weighs 5 lbs 8 oz. (of course this is an estimate) but she is right on track....we got to see her breathing, which was soooo cool! The doctor said that babies don't actually "breathe" until they are born but they do practice breathing, it was really neat! My due date is still 9/9/09, (althought I secretly hope she comes a little sooner than that!).

I of course will keep you posted as time goes on!

Happy Birthday Max!

This is a little late in coming but we had visitors all week so I just now got a chance to sit down and download some of the pics.

Max's official birthday was July 13th, but we celebrated on Sunday....we spent the morning swimming at the campground where Mom-Mom and Opa stay. Then we had a little BBQ here at the house along with Nana and Papa Jim from Michigan. Nana made Max an Elmo birthday cake which he LOVED!!! Plus Opa and Daddy built Max his very 1st sandbox - which he also loves!

Here are a few pics to recap the day.....enjoy!

Animals, Animals, Animals!

We had another fun filled weekend.....

Saturday we went and putzed around this great Amish Farmer's Market and then had lunch in their little restaurant. Cute and cozy! Good food to boot!!!

Sunday we ended up going to the Philly Zoo and had a blast. I do have pictures but the battery in my camera was dying so those will be up soon. Max was in heaven and wanted to look at everything - which is no way you can accomplish in one single day. We ended up buying a year's membership (ends up being sooo much cheaper, even if you just go twice a year) and so we are going to try and go one more time before the summer is over with - hopefully with the grandparents - both sets maybe!

This Wednesday we are leaving for our very first camping trip as a family. Karl's brother wants to make this a yearly tradition and I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Excited to see how Max and does and nervous to see how Max does. I bought this little blow up mattress bed just for a toddler (kind of has built in bumper guards) and I am hoping that he doesn't just crawl out of it and never go to sleep....PLUS being that I am seven months pregnant I make TONS of visits to the bathroom and am hoping that we have bathrooms near our site....otherwise I may just sleep in the bathroom stall...lol. Just kidding - kind of! :)

I am sure that I will have tons of pics to post after the trip....stay tuned!

Ho-Hum....

I haven't wrote in a while and basically it's because I don't have alot going on right now. Things are kind of boring....

Last weekend we went to a birthday party - that was fun.

About a week ago Karl (Mr. Handy Man himself) put up a new screen door off the of our living room. So now we get a great breeze and have easier access to the little deck.

This weekend we were planning on going to the Philly Zoo but being that the entire East Coast is going to be slammed with MORE rain we have decided to go to the Aquarium in Camden. Max and I have been there before, I think it was like January, so I am curious to see if he pays more attention to all the animals now that some time has passed. :)

We are planning our very 1st camping trip with Max for the Fourth of July. That should be interesting. Me pregnant and Max sleeping in a tent. Wish us luck and lots of patience! HA!

Emma is doing well. My next check-up is on Monday. I am getting huge, so I am sure that means she is getting huge or at least I think so. Starting to think we should get her room going but havn't really had the motivation to do it yet.

That is about it in a nutshell. :)
