Our ultrasound last Wednesday showed a super cute belly bean with a heartbeat, flickering away at 177 bpm! The baby is measuring perfect in terms of dating. The overall appointment was worry-free. On August 6 we go in for an NT Scan and will hopefully have more cute pictures to share!
At 10 weeks now, the morning sickness seems to be letting up a bit. I was actually able to do a little bit around the house yesterday. With Mike's help in the kitchen this week, it's looking less like a bomb went off in our apartment. Reagan's bedroom is an entirely different story, however. Ha!

Well, there was no wishing for warmer weather this year up in New England. We have definitely had our fair share, or more. The majority of this month we have had temps in the 90s. With it being so hot, it actually helps me to feel less guilty about feeling so rotten that I can't take the kids to the park and the beach like I had planned. Morning Sickness has a full hold on me with this pregnancy and I'm miserable about 90% of the time.
We had an unplanned last minute trip home to GA over the 4th of July weekend and were pleasantly surprised at how mild the weather was! We had a really great week with the exception of Reagan and Mike being sick part of the time and Caleb repeatedly bumping his head! We were all able to go to Nash Farm and watch the 4th of July fireworks show, which was a lot of fun. Caleb was mesmerized by the fireworks and seemed to really love it. The day before we left to come back to MA, Mike and I took the kids to the Georgia Aquarium and had a really wonderful day. It was my first trip there and I was really impressed. It is always sad to leave and I miss everyone but it sure is nice to be sleeping in my own bed again!
School is winding down for me and I have mostly online theory hours left to complete. This comes just at the time when Summer is really ramping up for Reagan, who completed her first week of Art Camp last Friday. She is having a blast making new friends and doing all kinds of arts and crafts projects, while enjoying lots of outdoor play as well. They put on a play Friday in which Reagan had the lead part for her group. They put on a mini production of 101 Dalmatians and Reagan was Pongo. She also had a solo during the singing portion of the presentation. I have no idea where she gets her courage from but she showed no signs of stage fright whatsoever. She has one more week to go and will then, hopefully, be starting swimming lessons and ballet/jazz lessons at the YMCA!
Caleb is doing pretty much what he always does. He has learned a few more tricks such as blowing kisses and throwing his arms up to let us know he's "done" but he still only has one word (uh-oh) and I'm not sure if he's in any hurry to learn new ones.
I am very excited for our first ultrasound of our new belly bean this coming Wednesday! I will be sure to post the ultrasound photos as soon as I get them. In the meantime, here are some photos from our trip to Georgia and the Aquarium.

And just for fun!
