We three are all partied out. This past weekend we celebrated Avery’s birthday with a “park party.” Dan and I were feeling a little un-inspired, so decided to have a casual birthday get-together at a park in Wheaton. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing our friends, and all their kids (which are almost outnumbering the adults!).
Picture: Avery munching on some candy, and giving her best “do I gotta go home now?” look.
Tomorrow marks Avery’s 2nd birthday, and we’ll top off the birthday festivities with a trip to Brookfield Zoo. This will be Avery’s first real-life encounter with elephants, lions, and such. We’re looking forward to seeing how she responds.
What else is new? I had my 15-week doctor’s appointment today, and it went well. The doctor got the baby’s heartbeat, and started doing his “heartbeat head-bob,” as I like to call it. Avery tagged along and did well --- all it took was some chips and three rolls of smarties ;) She shot the doctor a Dorito grin, and said “Hi!” If little Avery only knew what was coming down the pike, I doubt she’d be so cheerful.
And speaking of heartbeats, the baby’s clocked in at 160. Since Avery’s heartbeat always hovered around that number, we’re guessing that we’re having a girl. A totally un-scientific approach, but our best guess at this point. With luck, we’ll learn the baby’s sex at the July 23 ultrasound appointment.
Til the zoo!

She will LOVE the zoo.....cutie pie.
Your gift is on it's way with the other goodie I got for you this weekend.
Glad that the party was fun!
Say "hi" to the gang

I love that you're keeping a blog. Even if no one else reads it (and I plan to!), it will be a neat family history for Avery and future baby Nelsons to enjoy. Good job! Can't wait to see you soon!
