We're still here...

Caleb is very excited to share his summer with you! He's been very busy and there's good reason why I haven't blogged in so long...
Caleb is going to be a big brother! I'm 18 weeks pregnant right now, due at the end of February. I haven't blogged at all or done much of anything else this summer because this pregnancy was pretty rough for the first several months. I thought all the nausea etc was bad the first time around, but this one was even worse. So I mostly layed on the couch all day trying to take care of Caleb, which wasn't easy considering I was on some seriously strong meds and couldn't even drive for about 6 weeks. Anyhow, we had some really amazing people helping us out, taking Caleb, cooking meals, doing laundry etc. Thank you to each of you - you know who you are.

It was so much fun telling Marc - he was completely surprised! When Marc proposed he gave me a single red rose and said he hoped I'd grow even more fond of Roses, so I gave him a single red rose and told him I hoped he was still fond of roses, because we were adding another to the family. The look of shock on his face was priceless.
Caleb got to go to the farm a couple of times this summer. He loves riding the 4-wheelers
and especially loves playing in the water

Caleb also went to a Rough Riders game

and to the zoo a couple of times. He loved seeing the animals and making all the noises.

Caleb starting making this "oh" face any time he thinks something is really cool...

Hopefully I can post more pics, or even a video, soon. One of the best things that came out of me not feeling well all summer was that I sat and read to Caleb a lot. He knows about 20 body parts, 40 animal sounds and hand motions, and can say at least 15 words pretty clearly.

The animal sounds are hilarious...I'll try to get it on video and post soon!
