My first set of wheels

My little boy is sure growing up!

First batch of company

The first week home from the hospital we had Jim's parents and sister in town from Seattle. They drove their camper out to see the boys. It was a good visit and Bryce loved having Aunt Mary's undivided attention.

We gave them a tour of our little town of Nampa and showed them where Jim works in Boise. We also took them to the Boondocks which is a family fun center with putt putt golf, laser tag, arcade, and other things. This was Grant's first trip out in public that was not to the doctor. :) He did great although I had a melt down. I was still getting used to nursing him and was having trouble keeping him awake in the heat.

All in all it was a good visit. This week my sister and brother in law are in town for the weekend to help celebrate my mom's birthday (Aug. 18th). Their visit was a surprise to mom. :) I will post more pictures of the visit later on.

Here are pictures of Grandma and Grandpa's visit. (Aunt Mary too). They left him a new bike but were unable to see him ride it as he was napping when they left. (a much needed nap I must add too.)

Little Spud Arrives!

Jim, here posting for Cheryl while she feeds the new little guy. Grant Robert Lovett was born August the 7th, year of our Lord 2008. He was 6lbs 7oz and 20 inches long. Cheryl had a harder time with this labor and delivery. She was 17 hours from water breaking to delivery versus 8 the last time around. Plus there were a few challenges with being in a different hospital with a different doctor she had to overcome. She was very brave and did a great job. Here are some early photos.

Still Pregnant

After having Bryce at 37 weeks and 1 day I feel like this is the never ending pregnancy! I was so sure I would be early again, in fact the doctor seemed to agree. There are some women who really enjoy being pregnant...I am not one of them. I enjoy having the baby and all the after stuff but the pregnancy itself gets old at about 20 weeks for me.

At my last OB appointment this past yesterday I was 3.5 cm dilated and she said my cervix is ready to go. She said anytime this week. I'm hoping tonight is the night! I'm so done with the braxton hicks, not being able to sleep, unable to move, can't reach my feet, hungry all the time, and having to pee all the time! And I'm REALLY DONE with people touching my belly!!!! I can't stand that! or the nickname Prego. (I'm not spaghetti sauce!)

Can I be done now ... please???

Learning about chores

We decided to take advantage of Bryce's eagerness to help and copy. Here are a few of his "chores". So far he does it without complaining. Ah... I will enjoy it as long as possible.
