I am playing catch up for not having updated my blog in a long time. Things have been so busy between work, chasing Owen around, and trying to take care of the house the little bit of time that we have been home. We have taken a few weekend trips in the past few months. One of which was going to St. Louis and we got to visit the zoo with Owen for the first time. It was so fun to see him react to the animals and be so interested in watching them move around in their surroundings.
Owen also enjoyed his Easter egg hunt. He got the sippy cup as a gift and would not put it down the entire day, until he found a Peep in one of the eggs and then he decided a sugary chick was tastier that a cup.
It was hilarious watching him devour the Peep. He was on a sugar high after that, falling all over and being goofy!
I have not been so good with keeping up with my bump pictures this time around. Here is the week 17 bump. I will try to keep up from here on out so this baby doesn't look back and feel too left out.
Owen definitely is "all boy"! He loves playing out in the garage with dad, playing with his tools, vacuuming with the shop vac and playing with the mower. We could run the shop vac or any vacuum all day and his little heart would be content.
Week 18 Bump. Definitely popping alot earlier this time around. I guess that is what happens when your body already knows how to stretch out to make room for the baby.
We are excited because the Grayslake Farmer's Market has begun and the Cavanaugh garden is under way. We loaded Owen up in the backpack carrier and headed to the market to get some tomato plants and veggies to cook for dinner tonight. I can't wait for the summer Farmer's Market when there will be so much more goodies to choose from. I love that Owen is an outdoors' boy and loves anything that we do outside, whether it be working in the garden, going for walks, or playing with his toys. We have been enjoying the nice weather every chance we get and we have to do everything to get him inside at night.
We planted arugula, some varieties of lettuce, spinach and carrots back in April. It is exciting to see our lettuce finally begin to sprout. For a while I was getting worried that we had planted it too deep.
It is Mother's Day weekend and all I wanted to do this weekend was get our garden planted. And that is just what we did. Saturday morning we got our garden planner, seeds, tools, and vegetable markers out and we headed to the back yard to begin our 3rd annual Cavanaugh garden. Owen was in heaven eating dirt, playing in the garden, helping us with the markers and watering the seeds.
Owen was very interested in figuring out what was under the umbrella. He is so inquisitive about everything, having to know everything we are doing.
This is the latest and greatest bump at Week 21. We had our ultrasound this past Thursday and everything looks normal and developing great. We had Owen in the ultrasound because his babysitter was heading that way and dropped him off. He lasted maybe 10 minutes and the final straw that made Ryan take him out was when he was on the table with me and rubbing his hands all over my belly and getting the gel all over himself. Needless to say, I do not think we will have him in the delivery room with us! And no, we did not fund out what we are having! It is a boy or girl
We did the crazy legs run in Madison in April. It was rainy and cold but we survived the 5 mile run. Next year we will do and hopefully enjoy the day in Mad town.
And Owen doing more of his usual boy things that he loves to do!
