OHH MY!!!

How much longer do I have to hang in here for...Brody is wondering...until Daddy gets home! August 15th, we are counting the days. I am at 35 1/2 weeks now and I feel like it should be anyday. There is no room for him to even move in there. You can see his feet kick out on my right side, getting painful, but enjoyable! I have Aubrey to help me get through my days. Believe me... I need her here. Reese is going through her toddler days and I am on breakdown mode realizing that there is going to be two of them. I will be okay, don't worry! I am truely blessed to be having another child. There are so many things I love about being a Mother, especially when my baby gives me random hugs and kisses for just being me. I love it! Brody has hiccups right now, & like I said there is no room, so I am literally bouncing with every hiccup. I think I am ready for bed, but I still have to go to the store for milk in the morning...

Fun with Aunt Aubrey!

Aubrey flew in on Wednesday to the San Diego Airport! Reese was excited to see her Aunt, I think she is getting tired of seeing me all day long. So far, we are having a good time! We went to the pool the other night to cool off after a long hot day, of course, we are in Californina. Today we went to JoAnn Fabrics to buy wooden letters to create wall hangings for Reese and Brodys name. We are excited to get started on those. I will post a photo of the finished project! Aubs is such a great help, even though I try not to ask much of her so she can enjoy her time here. Reese loves to play with her, they color, play with toys and Reese's babies. Reese has started her hitting and throwing stage, not fun. Even when she does the cutest facial expression while doing them. We are trying to kick it in the butt before it gets too bad. I bought a new sprayer for the hose, which is completely satisfying, I love having new little things! Reese played outside with it today and got us all a little wet! But, no worries, it felt great with the heat!

Super Duper Fabulous News!

Jake called today and to let me know the deal on when and how long he can take his leave for in August. By my surprise, and his too...his major man said that he is doing so well, and that there was no point in him leaving for 10 days and then to come back for like 8 days. So... they are going to push him forward and graduate him on August 14th or 15th! WOW, what a blessing! That is a month earlier than planned. That is soo wonderful! Anyways, wanted to share the great news. I am extremely excited, because that means I can try to have the baby on my own instead of getting induced! YEA!

Jakes Time Home!

Jake flew in on Wed. night at 10:30, a very long day for all of us! I was soo excited to see my husband who I have been missing like crazy. Reese was just about back to sleep when I saw Jake come down the stairs! I told Reese, "Look, Do you see Daddy?" She saw him, and looked, looked again, and looked away. It was soo sad for both Jake and I. I thought she would of ran up to him with a big hug, but being 18 months old, her memory didnt kick in asap. It was great to have Jake home. Once we got home Reese was ready to play and hang out with her Daddy. She didnt get into bed until 12:30, real late!

On Thursday, we just hung out for most of the day. Went to Babies R Us to do a little shopping for the lil guy. And, we hung out at the park for a little bit. Reese had soo much fun playing with Jake. It was great because I dont like to get on and off the playtoy to keep up with Reese. Its too much for me. On July 4th, we BBQ'd steaks! YUM, Jake makes the best marinades for his meats! I love his cooking, one thing I totally miss! It's funny that I dont realize sometimes just how much he does for me, until he is gone. With him back, I was so grateful for all that he did around the house! That night we went to the park, and played for two hours. Trying to stay till 9 to watch the fireworks. We made it, we took the blanket out to the field and hung out with all the junebugs. Flying buzzing beatles that always found the way to your head! Eww. Yuk. We all enjoyed the fireworks, and went home a few minutes early to get Reese into bed. The beach was calling us on Saturday for Jake to get some surfing in. It is always nicer at the beach, about 20 degrees cooler. Thats what we love! Then we hung out as a family for the rest of the day!

It really sucked taking Jake to the airport today. Something I didnt want to do. But, only a few more months and he'll be done. He will be back next month for the delivery of Brody. Which, we are very excited for. His room is ready and waiting! Reese loves to get his clothes out and play with them. I think that she will be a wonderful big sister! She has been helping me around the house alot, she loves to sweep, throw things in the garbage and wipe up the table. Excellent skills for those chore days to come! lol j/k Here are a few pics of our time with Jake! We already miss him so much!!!!
