Independence Day

It has been a while, again.  Pregnancy has really improved.  I feel like a normal human being, which I didn't think was possible while pregnant. This summer is hotter than ever.  We are now on day 437 of over 100 degree heat.  It feels like hot breath when I step outside.  I broke out our Montana pictures last night and remembered snowmobiling in West Yellowstone where it was so cold that my fingers were almost frozen solid.  It was painful at the time, but the memory makes me happy. 

Leighton has been kissing my belly goodnight every night.  It is so sweet.  She gets upset when she forgets.  I just want to freeze these moments so I don't forget them when she is 15 and thinks her parents are retarded.  Chris and Leighton have gone running the last couple nights and it is so incredibly cute.  They go out front and stretch, then they head out.  She runs around the entire block.  She is so proud of herself when she finishes.  Soon she will be running her first 5K.  I love it!!! 

The bite chew (pacifier) fairy came to get all of LP's pacifiers this week to give them to the little babies that need them.  LP is a "big girl" so she put them in the mailbox for the fairy to pick up.  So far so good.  :)

The new baby girl officially has a name now.  Elliot Claire Tracy is very active already and I can't wait to meet her.  Here is the last ultrasound pic:

Elliot Claire Tracy-supermodel or skeletor-only time will tell  :)

Here are some 4th of July pics.

I'm taking Leighton to see Winnie the Pooh tonight.  She just told me that she is ready to go see "shampoo." That's my cue to leave and introduce my child to Winnie the Pooh rather than "shampoo".  Yikes! 

XOXO
