Wow, It is hot!

Hi all, so I am 11 weeks pregnant now and the time seems to be going by faster than with Lola.  That would be because Lola is keeping me really busy, and I am working at home writing the blog for Little Urbanites.  It is so much fun to write the blog and it means I actually have a job that uses my English degree :) 

It has been so hot in Portland this week...98 degrees the other day and we don't have air conditioning.  So our focus this week has been staying cool.  We went to Jameson Square a couple of times so that Lola could play in the fountain, which you can see in the picture!  She loves the water, but spent the whole time saying "ball" and trying to play with the other children's toys.  We have to work on the sharing thing since that will become important really soon.

I am still feeling pretty well, other than a bit hot...I hope that lasts.  Lola is saying so many words and acting more and more like a toddler (fun and hard at the same time).  Daniel has been working on getting our front yard together, we will show the pics when it is all done since currently we have no plants at all.  He is taking great care of Lola and I, I wish he never had to go into work!

We all have to get ready because Lola has a photo shoot for the Little Urbanites website, we will see if she will cooperate with the camera.  If she does and gets on the website I will let you all know so that you can see the pictures.

We love you all and will post again soon.

Introducing the new addition to our Oregon family...

As you can tell from the ultrasound picture... we are pregnant again!  I am 10 weeks pregnant to date and feeling much better than I did last time around.  There will be a new baby brother or sister for Lola expected to arrive January 19th.  Well we know that Lola decided to come 4 weeks early last time, so lets hope this one stays in a little longer so that they don't have the exact same birthday:)

We had our first doctor's appointment today!  This baby was being stubborn and wouldn't let us hear the heartbeat with the doppler, so we ended up having an ultrasound done.  Now we have the first picture of our 1 inch little one and know that everything is perfectly on track!

I had a lot of nausea from about weeks 5-9, but things have been looking up and I have been feeling really hungry lately and less nausea.  Lola is as excited as she can be about the baby coming, of course she doesn't completely get the concept yet.  Daniel has been told by Lola that he has a baby in his stomach too... maybe she knows something that we don't! 

We will keep everyone updated on the process as it goes along and can't wait to have another addition to our wonderful family! 

Love from all of us, 

Jennifer, Daniel, and Lola :)
