One more week and baby Riley will be here! The fact that Blaine and I will be the parents of TWO children that soon is quickly setting in. I, personally, am both excited and terrified at the same time! I am already dreading the grocery shopping and errand running days ahead. How do other moms do it? I have a hard enough time with one kid! Oh well, I guess I will learn how to juggle everything soon enough.
Because Cannon's "only" child days are quickly coming to a close, Blaine and I have tried to have as much fun with him as my pregnant self will allow. :) For starters, Blaine joined Life Time Fitness again, an AMAZING gym close by our house. Joining the gym means that Blaine and Cannon can go swimming whenever they want, which over the last few weeks they have taken advantage of! Cannon loves to swim and splash around in the pool. This will also be a fun activity for Blaine and Cannon to do together when the new baby gets here and things get super busy around here. This is Cannon in his little swim suit get-up that has a floating device in the upper body area to help him learn to float:
Over the last week our little town of Draper, UT had its "Draper Days", consisting of a fun filled week of activities, mostly held in the park. We chose to participate on the last day of Draper Days, which was on Saturday. Cannon had fun riding a pony, seeing reptiles at the reptile exhibit, and eating his first sno-cone. Since it was so hot outside, we didn't stay too long. However, an hour worth of Draper Days is really all ya need! Here are some pictures:
Last Friday night Blaine and Cannon slept outside on our air mattress on the deck, since we don't have a tent. I chose to not participate in this little fun activity, but the boys had fun! Here they are sleeping outside:
Along with sleeping outside, riding ponies, and swimming a TON, Cannon also had fun watching "Rio" at the dollar theater a few weeks ago. He was actually pretty good for the first hour of the movie, but then had to step out once or twice for a break. Once the M&M's and popcorn were gone, so was he!
Well, that about sums up the last few fun things Cannon has enjoyed so far this summer. Once the baby is here, we hope to make a couple trips home to Washington and Oregon while I am on my maternity leave. So, hopefully there will still be some fun things to look forward to this summer after Riley arrives. :)
Even though I have just realized how long this post already is, I wanted to post one last picture of my tummy before the baby gets here. The first one is when I was 38 weeks pregnant with Cannon, and the second one is of me currently at 38 weeks. I thought it would be fun to compare them both. Take a look:
