It’s been raining off and on since late Friday night. Yesterday was our Sunday School’s annual picnic, and it had to be held indoors for the most part due to the weather. But, Jordan still had a blast and it was nice seeing a lot of people that I haven’t in a while.

Afterwards Ross and I drove way out to a secluded little beach and attempted to go swimming. But, the mosquitoes/blackflies were out in full force and I’m surprised that we don’t have chunks taken out of our limbs from them attacking during the 10 minutes we were out of the car. We left shortly after being eaten alive, went grocery shopping and then came home to relax.

Jordan is in here right now, showing me how she can skip with a skipping rope. Some older girls taught her yesterday, and she caught on pretty quickly! I’m going to buy her a proper rope with wooden handles, better to skip with, methinks.

Ross and I have been talking about taking a family vacation some time next year when the baby is older. We’ve never been anywhere that far as a family, and it would be nice to get away. Maybe to one of the gorgeous Laughlin hotels, perhaps?

Absolutely nothing to do today except tidy up here and there. Our bedroom is where I need to concentrate, but every time I come in here I look at the ‘mess’ and don’t want to clean it.

Ross put the baby’s change table together on Sunday, and so far it has been a holding area for the clean laundry I’ve been neglecting to put away.

Speaking of baby, I re-washed all of Jordan’s receiving blankets and infant onesies/sleepers for this one to use. She had a lot of white/yellow/green items that were purchased before her birth, so it’ll be good if I’m having a boy this time around. I’m not too worried about the ‘girly’ receiving blankets though… they’re pretty much just used for lying the baby on wiping up drool/puke, lol.

Anyhoo… changed the boy name AGAIN! It was going to be Alex… then Roman… now I’m going to keep it a secret until the baby is actually here. And if it’s a boy, then you’ll know the name, if it’s a girl… well, we’re sticking with Marley

I meet with the surgeon soon… I’m so excited. Then, the next big ‘event’ is our 5th anniversary… we were split up for a while, but meh why start over counting?… five years already. I’m not sure what to get him, maybe some air tools? Who knows, he’s a guy, he’ll be happy with whatever.

I had a checkup today, everything went well. I actually have lost 3lbs. since my last appointment two weeks ago. My blood pressure is perfect, baby sounds great (140bpm), and it is resting high in my uterus.

Also, I registered Jordan for Junior Kindergarten today! *sniffles*
We went to the school this afternoon, met the principal and filled out all the needed paperwork.

It’s hard to believe that in September I’ll have a child going to school, and a newborn at home.

Jordan is so excited too, she wanted to stay the rest of the day and play outside; and was severely disappointed when it was time to leave. I know she’ll love it when it’s time for her to attend regularly.

That’s about it for now!

Ross and I sure have had our share of troubles… but that has never made him one ounce less of an amazing father to our daughter. From Jordan and I, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
