Mommy Moments

I just noticed that I haven't posted any pics of our summer fun recently, I really haven't taken many pictures lately - I know, a real shock! So I thought I would post some of my proud Mommy Moments.
***
I am now 14 weeks along and had another appointment last week and we got to hear the heartbeat. It was about 155/160 - so, does anyone have any predictions? We like to be surprised, so we won't find out until February, but it's always fun to guess. I had a dream last night that it was a girl and I was a little relieved - we have everything we need for a girl and we'd have to start all over if it is a boy - but as long as it's healthy and happy, we'll be thrilled. I have still been feeling great, as long as I can stay stress free. I've been getting some killer headaches, which is just not like me. But between my headaches and Brailee having a mysterious fever last weekend, I have finished reading Breaking Dawn - LOVE those books - I highly recommend them if you haven't read them yet!
***
Brailee was such a big girl yesterday - she woke up with a dry diaper in the morning and went potty for the first time - we were all so excited for her. So far it's been the ONLY time, too, but I still thought it was pretty cool - she likes to try, but I don't push it too much with her, I don't want to scare her off!
***
Brianna has been going to a 'Getting Ready for Kindergarten' program at school since last week. She gets to go for two hours every day for two weeks to start to get used to things. She is really enjoying herself and keeps asking when she gets to go ALL day! School officially starts in less than 2 weeks, so not long, at all!
***
School is close enough that we ride bikes every day - they wish they could ride their bikes everywhere! Anytime we are going somewhere, the first thing they ask is, 'Can we ride our bikes?' Here we are on the bike path - I wish I knew how many miles we go when we go this route, but we're usually gone for at least an hour and a half, it's a fun ride, and uphill on the way home, but the kids love it. On our short route, it's just over a mile, and only takes us 20 minutes, so I would guess this way is at least 2 or 3 times that distance.

I hope you are all having a fun summer - take care!

I love how Riverton has the Rails to Trails through town. We only have one bike path here and it is next to a busy, busy road.

I want to ride my bike everywhere too! Our path has been closed for a while now-you can only go up to Bridal Veil Park - boo hoo. We love to ride to Vivian Park, play Skip-Bo, have a diet coke and ride back home.

Love you all!!! XOXOXOXO

So glad you're feeling well, but isn't each pregnancy a little different? Maybe that's why the headaches... I'm ready for school to start and maybe a little more "me" time, how bout you? Have a wonderful day!!!

Hope those headaches go away soon! Love the pictures of the bike riding. I want trails like that here! :-)
Way to go, Brailee! She is such a cutie. I bet you are a little excited (and a bit sad) that school will be in session soon. My son starts 2day a week 3 yo preschool in two weeks. He is so excited.
Take care!
