Looking forward to: doing "fall" things this week...Calvin has a playdate at a pumpkin patch/corn maze and he's very excited to pick out his pumpkin!

Calvin started school this past Tuesday and had the best day! No tears at drop off, and was happy as can be when I picked him up (great reports from his teachers as well!). Sadly, he woke up the very next morning with a fever only to then find out he has strep throat (didn't take long, right?). Not that he would have gone to school Thursday, but schools were then canceled the rest of the week due to Hurricane Hermine. We just got a lot of rain and some gusty winds, nothing major. So hopefully next week will be a better week and Calvin can get back into the school groove!

I'm looking forward to the next two weeks of just me and Calvin, since school starts on the 30th. I was so nervous about an entire summer of no set structure, no school and lots of traveling, but I have to say that it has flown by! I can't believe summer is almost over :(.

Here are a few snapshots from our week in Longboat...


 



Happiest kid I know!

Looking forward to: Vacation at the beach next week! We're headed down to Longboat Key this weekend for some sun and fun. This summer has been far busier than I ever anticipated, so I'm looking forward to just hanging out together as a family for a week :).

I've also been feeling a bit emotional the last few days and I'm 100% blaming pregnancy hormones! Who would have thought that potty training and swimming lessons could get me feeling this way, but I just couldn't be prouder of Calvin. We locked ourselves in the house this past weekend to attempt potty training, and Calvin totally rocked it! It definitely started a little rocky, but by Sunday, he was telling me when he had to go, and we even ventured to Target with no accidents! He has been doing awesome ever since!
He also started taking swim lessons for the first time when school ended (beginning of June), and has progressed and learned so much very quickly. He graduated to level three yesterday! So between that, his potty training success, and now knowing another boy is on the way, my heart couldn't be fuller. I am looking forward to spending these last few months with just Calvin before the baby arrives, and very much looking forward to meeting our new little guy and beginning our lives as a family of four :)

Symptoms? Later in my pregnancy with Calvin, I experienced what was diagnosed as SI joint (sacro-iliac) pain due to all of the loosening ligaments. The same pain has returned, obviously much earlier this time. It can be pretty painful at times, so I just need to be careful. Other than that, I'm just tired. A lot.

Have you started to show yet? To me, yes. But in reality, I just look bloated, like I've had a few too many beers!
Gender: We find out in August!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Innie as of now
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Exercise? Calvin is out of school for summer, so his busy schedule gives me time for Stroller Strides twice per week. I'll take what I can get!
Looking forward to: a whole bunch of birthday parties coming up, the 4th of July, and finding out the baby's gender!!!
