Baseball and a quick update















Above is a couple of pictures taken at some of Taylor's baseball games. He is having a good time at them. It's funny to watch boys his age play baseball- most of the time they are out there digging holes, dancing around, chewing on their gloves... ha ha. Once and a while, somebody hits a ball and the whole team runs for it. Taylor has hit one ball without the tee but most of the time, ends up using the tee. About half of the games and practices have been canceled, because of the rain. So goes sports in Washington!


The computer that we usually use crashed a couple weeks ago. All of my recent pictures are on it. So, as you can guess, the future posts will not have pictures. It crashed in the most inopportune time, for Sonny mostly. He was just about to give a powerpoint presentation at work to some of the general surgeons and residents. Yikes! So it was a rough day for him. Anyways, just know that Taylor has grown a little bit older, Jane has grown a whole lot longer, Sonny has gotten a little more tired, and I have gotten a lot more fat. I think you get the picture.


I am now 24 weeks along and feeling ok. I've been having some acid reflux, at night mostly, and am still trying to fit into my jeans. Some days it works, others, not so much. I found some cute stretch pants at Target and wear those most of the time. I get to have another ultrasound in about a month (the one and only good thing about being a high risk patient). I haven't even started getting the nursery ready- it's still the dog's room/office/weight room/library... I have a feeling I'm going to go early, like last time. I'm trying for a v-back and the doctors said that I have a good chance of succeeding, since I had the c-section as an emergency and didn't really even experience the labor process. It'll be nice to deliver in the same hospital too that Sonny will be working at. The Ob-gyn department is delivering 250 babies a month! Because of the way the deployments work, it kind of works out that way. Hopefully I won't be giving birth in some hallway somewhere in the hospital.


Taylor and I made a trip to Utah last month for my brother Kyle's graduation at BYU. My parents flew in from California and made the long drive with us. We brought Jane along too and surprisingly, she did really well. Well, not really a surprise really- in reality, she did better than I did. I hate road trips! But we made it there and back without going crazy and had a fun time visiting with lots of family there. We spent a nice easter with my aunt and uncle and cousins there. It was really great to get out of Washington for a bit. Sonny unfortunately had to stay behind and work. Bummer. But we are looking forward to heading to Boise next month for a family reunion with his side of the family. Sonny is counting down the days until he is done with his first year of residency. He has worked so hard, especially in this last general surgery rotation, and really deserves a nice vacation.


Well, that's what we've been up to the last month or so. We are looking forward to the rainy season being over and seeing some sun already! The summer's are really nice here though- just wish it would last longer than like 2 months.

BOY!

It's official... we're having another boy! We were all very surprised- we all thought for sure it was going to be a girl. But I like surprises...
