Out & About.

Still trying to fit in as much fun as we can before we before June comes. Yesterday we drove up to Jemez Springs to see the sights and the Falls. We had so much fun! Owen was a little grouchy since he didn't get a good nap but he loved being outdoors with the ants and grasshoppers. It made us miss camping so much!

29 Weeks.

29 weeks with baby June.

The last week I've started to get pretty uncomfortable. When I started noticing I complained to Tim saying, "What is wrong with me? Why am it walking so hard all of a sudden?" His reply was,"It wasn't all of a sudden. It took you 8 months to get here!" I guess I had forgotten. I'm still not doing too badly. My hands and feet get pretty swollen and my hips have been widening. (Lovely) The other night I was moaning about the throbbing in my hands and feet and decided to weigh myself. BAD idea. The next morning I weighed myself again and had dropped 6 lbs! Can you believe I was THAT swollen that I could hold 6 lbs of water?! Yikes. Perhaps it's time to slow down on my walks, ha! It still feels like I've been carrying a furnace around and I've even been really tempted to chop off my hair. (I swear it makes it 10 degrees hotter!) I've held back mostly because I know soon my face will start swelling and I'd rather NOT look like a big mushroom head when I deliver.

I'm to the point now where I want to get it over with. I want to have her here so she can meet Owen and we can hold and kiss her and deal with whatever situations/dilemmas arise. That and I want to fit into my skinny jeans again. :-)

museum.

It was Smithsonian National Museum Day a few days ago and many of ABQ's museums were free! We went to the Nuclear Museum as Tim is a science nerd and was itching to go again. I was a bit disappointed when we got there as we learned you had to come with a print off to get in free. Boo! I admit I didn't have high hopes for the museum but surprisingly found it extremely interesting. Unfortunately Owen didn't share our sentiments and after about 30 minutes got bored and threw a fit. (A new favorite of his) Perhaps Tim and I will have to go back on a date without the little man, that is, if we ever find the time to actually go on one. :-)

Paint.

We tried to get a little crafty last night. I introduced Owen to markers and finger paint. Surprisingly, he found the bottles of paint and the caps of the markers MUCH more fun than the actual activity.

and of course June is growing, growing, growing. 

me at 28 weeks. (it's a little late)

I'm getting really excited to meet our little girl! It's kind of scary to think she could be here in as short as 2 months! Feeling fairly well, just very big & always sweating. Thank goodness for cooler weather!

Christmas in September.

I love bargain shopping! Today I scored big at the "Just Between Friends," yard sale. Technically I didn't find anything I was actually looking for but I found some great stuff for Owen for Christmas. Now if I can just muster enough discipline to not let him play with them til Christmas!

Do you remember these? I had one when I was little and loved it. I've seen them brought back and Target and various flea markets but they're always close to $20! I picked up this little buddy for $4! I let Owen play with it for a few minutes and he LOVES it. I feel bad hiding it away until Christmas but he has to have something to open!

How cute is this?! Owen loves to play with spatulas, pots, pans, tupperware, etc. I have no doubts he will love it. An at only $8 I love it even more. :-)

Disney VHS! I know we are so old! We put up our SUPER old TV in Owen's room so he could have some quiet time and since Disney DVDs NEVER go on sale I figured $2 VHS tapes were the way to go. See those little hands snatching up Elmo's world? He obviously knows his Elmo. :-)

I also picked up a baby einstein bath book. I got one at the Twin's yard sale in March and Owen loves to read it in the tub. Hopefully that's not something he'll grow out of anytime so, otherwise his little sister will be inheriting it early.

I still have a few things I'm looking for but lucky for me the yard sales aren't over! The Twin's yard sale is next weekend and they are always LOADED with stuff. I'm crossing my fingers for a great deal on a double stroller. I love yard sales!

Chillaxin.

We've been hanging out by the pool a lot this summer.

Owen and I have worked up some pretty awesome tan lines. :-)

Owen LOVES the pool. He drags his floaty around the house all the time and tries to take it outside with him thinking I'll take him to the pool if he gets it through the door. It's made for some unsuccessful errand running but I think it's so cute that he loves it that much!

I'm almost 28 weeks now and my belly has taken over! It always amazes me how all of a sudden I hit my 3rd trimester and BAM! That belly becomes it's own body! I'm finally gaining a steady amount of weight because of swelling (and some double stuffed oreos!) so there's still a good chance she'll be just as big as Owen. 

Haircut.

Owen had his 2nd haircut about 3 weeks ago. We took him to a really cute place that is just for kids. He did so well! They had Toy Story 2 playing and as long as it was in front of him he didn't care about a thing!
