Weekend full of Work and Fun

Chris's parents were able to drive up this past weekend to help Chris and I spend some time

building and installing different items in the house.

They also brought a special treat for Nash from Aunite Divo and Cousin Leyton.

A little rocking horse!

It is a huge hit with Mr. Nash

I am so bummed that I did not get more pictures of Tom and Chris working.

It was quite the scene outside.

They had tools and wood everywhere.

Below they are building out our mudroom:)

I am so excited!

When it is all done, it will have a bench that you can sit on and cubby holes to put shoes in.

The wall will be covered in wainscoting.

There will be cubbies on the top with Cabinets.

It is going to look amazing

The pool has also been started.

 It is all dug

 and ready for the re bar and plumbing.

It was a crazy fun filled weekend and we were very sad when they left.

Symptoms: Headaches and sharp pains in my lower stomach

Best Moment This Week: Having my in laws in town and watching Nash roll around the floor. He has become quite the mover.

What I Am Looking Forward To: Taking Nash's 8 month pictures tomorrow....hopefully he is in a good mood

How Nash watches some movies

Nash has discovered he likes to sit on the couch by himself while watching his movies.

See Nash has to sit upright for 30 minutes after every time he eats.

It is all part of his reflux.

This ritual and his new medicine has seemed to stop the constant spit up.

Thank goodness he loves three movies: Princess and the Frog, Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me

Do not worry I am sitting on the ground in front of him to make sure no fast movements will happen and we end up having a Nasherson on the ground.

Baby #2 Update: 15 Weeks

How Far Along: 15 weeks 

Size of Baby: About 4 inches long 2.5 oz. He or she is about the size of a naval orange.

Total Weight Gain: >2 pounds but not sure how much

Maternity Clothes: Just Pants....I tend to wear a lot of sweats or Chris's shorts since I have Nash and we really do not venture out of the house much these days....I think I should buy some maternity clothes this time around so I can feel better about myself

Gender: Still have awhile until we find out.

Movement: None yet

Food Cravings: strawberries and cool whip, veggies with ranch dip

What I Miss: Working out....I hate the way I am looking....it shows in how I look in the picture.  My hair is not done, no makeup...just feel huge and not pretty...I know this stage will pass

Sleep: Sleep has been wonderful...I crash every night around 9pm

Symptoms: Headaches and tiredness some sharp pains in my back and stomach....however the stomach sickness has passed!!!!!!

Best Moment This Week: Moving into our house

What I Am Looking Forward To: Going to the doctors tomorrow and Nash turning 8 months old!

Difference between Nash and this pregnancy: I am not reading the books every week....I feel more comfortable with this baby and not as nervous...or it could be I just have so much more time that this pregnancy seems just part of the craziness

Baby#2                             Nash

Piano Man

Nash loves it when he gets to listen to his Daddy play the piano.

We have set up Chris's small piano in the piano room until we are able to get his piano from his parents house this fall.

Nash will sit on Chris's lap and just watch and listen to him play.

He does not move the whole time Chris plays.

Teeth

Nash's first tooth appeared on June 28th, 2011

The bottom right(if you are looking at him)

This has been a long time coming.

Nana found the tooth and since she was the first to find the tooth that means she gets to buy Nash a pair of shoes:)

His second tooth popped up two days later.

Now I think the top two are working their way down because we have had two sleepless nights.

At least I am hoping that is why.

4th of July

It was Nash's 1st Fourth of July!

He was so excited;)

The morning started off with one of the most American breakfast that you can have!

 The day consisted of more unpacking and organizing the new house.

Then around 7:30 Chris said we had to leave if we wanted to get up the hill for the fireworks.

So, Chris, Maddie, Micah, Mom and I all piled into the truck with a few blankets, a few drinks, and glow sticks.

When we arrived, it was perfect.

The fireworks were being set off in the middle of the driving range.

We were sitting on the top of the driving range where you could see all of Phoenix.

The sun was setting and we just ran around on the driving range greens and threw a frisbee.

 Almost firework time:)
