Touch a truck day

So what do you do on Touch a Truck Day?  You touch trucks, climb on trucks, pretend to steer trucks and honk the horns of course.  Carter loved it.  The fire truck was his favorite.  He made sure we got back in line multiple times.  He was star struck with the firemen and the police men.  Ryan was a good sport.  It was a hot day and past her nap time.  She didn't "touch any trucks" but she enjoyed being out in the crowd.

20 Weeks and it's a girl!!

We've hit the halfway mark, ladies and gentlemen!  I just looked back at my 20 week pictures with Carter and Ryan.  I had a sweet little baby bump with my first pregnancy.  The second pregnancy was definitely a full preggo belly.  Now with the third, well, lets just say the woman at Lowes today thought I was going to be giving birth at anytime.  She was floored then I told her I had until Thanksgiving!  I'll be sure to post a belly shot soon. 

We had an ultrasound over a week ago and it's another GIRL!  We would have been happy either way, but it's sweet to think Carter will have 2 little sisters to look after and Ryan will have someone to play house and barbies with.  Also, Ryan was such an easygoing baby.  We're crossing our fingers that it's a "girl trait" and we'll have another easy baby.  Ask me again what I think about have 2 girls close in age when we have two girls in high school!  My excitement might not be the same!

I'm feeling well.  I'm over the morning sickness, but that doesn't stop me from taking a nap nearly every afternoon.  My arthritis is acting up but it's more of an annoyance rather then an issue.  For being 20 weeks pregnant with 2 small kids, I think I'm doing well.  I have to admit, I'll be glad when my pregnancy days are officially over.  It's been a long 4 years!

I hope everyone had a great 4th.  We were at the lake and had a wonderful time.  It was a great way to say goodbye to the cottage. (parents are selling it a the end of the month).  Here are some highlights.
