She is even cute when she cries.A sheep got a little to close to her when we were at the Fair.She only cried for a minute though. And then was back to her usual happy self. The packing continues. I am anxious for Friday to come, so we can get some of the stuff loaded into it. And out of the way.It is a maze of boxes around here.;-)It's getting quite crowded.

Fair fun
We took Sydney to the Evergreeen State Fair today. And here she is seeing ducks for the first time. Well, at least upclose anyway. She seemed to have a good time. She was asleep before we even left.It sure was alot of walking for me at 7 1/2 months pregnant. Good for me though. The weather cooperated nicely. Just as I went to lay down for my nap after we got home, a serious rainstorm hit. Complete with thunder even. Nothing like what those poor people in the Gulf are facing. At least Hurrican Katrina didn't end being quite as strong as predicted.Bye for now.

Shirts? Who needs shirts?
It is pretty well known that most small children don't like wearing clothes. Sydney has decided she just doesn't like wearing shirts. So here she is shirtless.At least I got her to keep her pants on.

Meghan Update
We had another Dr's Appt this morning. And things couldn't be better. Her heart sounded great at about 145-150 beats a minute. The size is great , with my uterus at about 29 inches long. My weight is fine. Just 1 pound over what I was when I first got pregnant.As well as okay blood work. No gestional diabetes to worry about. So we go back in 3 weeks, then 2 visits 2 weeks apart, then going every week after that. So all is good with her and me.

28 weeks today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a photo of Syd practicing with Daddy. He was out in the backyard with his various sword type objects and Syd just had to join him. Hitting the wood/target with a chopstick. It was very cute and this doesn't do it justice.But the best shot I got. It reached 96 degrees here today. Way to hot for most of us, but Syd she doesn't seem to mind and loves running around in just a diaper. Meghan and I have reached another milestone. The 3rd and last trimester. Only 11 more weeks and we will get to see our precious, little Meghan. I am anxious to see how Sydney reacts to her little sister. I saw another new baby at church today, little Ethan only 2 weeks old. And it gets me very excited to know that I won't have to wait too much longer. Less than 3 months at least.We have another doctor visit and I am excited to see how things are going. Due to Jason's recent job change( no job yet, but some promising prospects) he gets to go with me tomorrow. So he can here the heartbeat for the first time. It always chokes me up.;-)I hope to have a picture of my ever growing babyness on here soon. Once I can get Jason to take it. As you may have noticed I do most of the picture taking, since I am not in any of the photos. Thanks again to Robin,Ken and Grandma and Grandpa Rivers for the digital camera. It gets a lot of use. That of course will only increase once Meghan arrives. She is very active now. Kicking a lot. A sort of "Mommy I am still here thing". Already keeping me up at night.As if I need to be reminded of how our lives will change yet again. I will write after our visit tomorrow, to give a Meghan update. Love to all of you, Jess,Jason,Sydney and Meghan.

Jolly Green Girl
Thia is what happens when Syd gets ahold of a pen. She breaks it and covers herself in ink.At least it was another one of our hot days when she gets to run around in a diaper. Or I think we would have had ruined clothes.Note to self: Don't give in to the cuteness and let her have a pen.

The Columbia
Here is Jason and Sydney in the Columbia River. When we went to over to stay with my Grandpa Bob.I think Sydney was a bit scared, but seem to do alright. It was her first time in a river. And the swimsuit her Grandpa and Grandma Rivers neighbors gave her still fits. It worked great. Especially in the pool there. Can you tell I am having fun with posting pictures now?
Slide Action
Sydney's favorite thing to do at the park is the slide. Forget the toddler swings. Slides are where it's at. Unless there is a sandbox around. We are hoping to get one of those covered plastic ones soon for her. I think it would be a bit cleaner then the dirt and rocks , she plays with now. As well as more fun of course.
Miss Hailey
Here is a sleeping Miss Hailey. Who is now 4 months old. For those who don't know, she is my best friend Sara's baby girl. I can't wait till Meghan makes her debut and they can play together.Just under 3 months now. We have another check-up Monday morning. So we will see how we both are doing. How far we have come. Sara and I have been best buds since 6th grade and now we are both married and have little girls.Wow. It still seems so amazing some times. I love being a Mom. Even though it is really hard work.

We Have Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see we are finally starting to get some things fiqured out on Blogging. So here is a picture that shows just how much Sydney likes baths.Someone had accidently left some water in the tub and Syd decided she wanted another bath.Clothes and all. It's hard to believe that on Saturday Syd will be 22 months old. I can still remember what it was like being pregnant with her.Heck, my best friend's daughter Hailey is turning 4 months old already. The countdown countinues with Miss Meghan, as we are just under 3 months to go. This week marks the last week of the 2nd trimester.Very Exciting. That's all for tonight. Now that we have pictures I hope to be writing alot more often.

Another Blood Draw & Anniversary #3
Well, Today along with Meghan of course I went in for another blood test. This makes I think number 6 for this pregnancy. Needless to say it's getting a bit old. This test was for gestional diabetes. Which is a necessary test performed on all pregnancies between 25 and 28 weeks.I didn't have it with Sydney and I hope not to with Meghan either.Meghan and I are half way through week 26 now.2 more weeks and we will be in the home stretch also known as the 3rd trimester.It has been a hot few weeks here. Alot of days in the mid eighties. With the temp suppose to be reaching 90 tomorrow. Sydney has discovered climbing and is climbing everything she can.Today is also the 3rd anniversary of our marriage.It's hard to believe .Time has gone by so fast.
