Update on The Hapgoods...

I thought of giving an update here on how we all are doing. 

Sean has been working so much in the yard before it gets super hot even though its already 85 degrees during the day but we really needed to fix up our backyard.  We spend our weekends out here 90% of the time and have turned it into a family friendly venue!  Here's the shed that finally arrived after 3 weeks of building it:

Sean pressure washed the outside area which looks a ton better than what it looked like before (sorry I didn't take a before photo but trust me it looked really bad!) We're also waiting on an order of our new patio furniture:

We don't have much of a side yard because the other side has the boat but we were able to till up all the weeds and old grass and start fresh (thanks to our wonderful neighbor!) and put sod down.  Sean has also started a garden for us and is surprising me of what he is growing.  I know he is definitely growing tomatoes because I've already had a few but we'll see what comes up! 

The day that they put the sod down.

Here's what it looks like a few weeks after.

We're looking into re-doing our guest bathroom (finally!) before baby #2 is here because I know that if we don't do it now it will be a hundred years until we do it.  Lucky for us we have a super handy neighbor that is going to help us do it.  We are going to replace everything including the bathtub! Yikes!

On to Hunter....

Let's just say that he has entered into what is known as the "Terrible Two's" or rather more like "Testy Two's".  He seems to do everything that he knows he is not allowed to do and on top of that he looks at me with a silly smirk on his face to buy himself some more time to keep doing what he is not allowed to do. Haha.  It's so hard to keep a straight face with him too because of that silly smirk he gives me but I have been a trooper and he abides by what I say after a couple times of telling him.  I even had to throw out the counting "1-2-3" deal.  Not that he had a clue what it really means but he got the point somehow. Ahhhh, what can I say?  He's exploring more things and learning more with them so I can't blame him.  

He's also been swimming pretty much everyday for the past 3 weeks between Sean and I teaching him.  He can now swim underwater to get to the steps.  I'm so proud of him.  He wants us to let him go and just swim on his own because he gets so excited but he's not THAT ready yet and I'm not sure I am either but I believe by the end of the summer he will be swimming around like a little fish  (I'll post a video at some time.  I'm having issues with our video camera not uploading to the computer).

Me, I'm 22 weeks along and I feel great.  At times, I am tired from chasing Hunter around but that of course, is normal.  My only complaint is heartburn. I've got it so much earlier this time around and have been drinking milk and a few Tums when it gets pretty bad (they're by BFF's right now).  I have been worrying about how I am going to be even at 30 weeks because it is just now starting to get a little tough.  I try not to think about it but just like everyone else, I'll manage. 



At work we celebrated, National Walk Day.

We have also decided (finally) on what we are naming the baby and its Tyler Aaron.  I'm so happy now to call him by a name rather than the "baby".  I wanted a name that ended in "e-r" like Hunter and had 2 syllables.  Nothing too long and nothing too popular even though Tyler is somewhat popular but not overly.  We've also been curious how this baby will be and how he will look.  Will he look more like me?  Or look just like Hunter?  Will this baby have by eyes or Sean's?  Guess we'll find out in September!
