Well I looked and searched and called everywhere I could think of and I can't find our digital camera anywhere :( I am quite upset. Just about everytime I've talked to anyone about it today I've ended up in tears. I think I lost it outside the local coldstone ice cream shop. The best I can figure I set it on the table, accidentally left it there, and someone decided they would like to have a new camera.
I'm super bummed because the card inside the camera not only had one of the best pictures of Rowan and me that I've ever taken but it also had the before and after shots of Rowan's first salon haircut :( The worst part is that it wasn't even OUR camera, we were borrowing it from my sister and her husband!
Sorry Cherise and Kiel, we'll get you a new one.

going public!
Many friends and family already know and some have cleverly deduced and now we're officially announcing it, we're pregnant again!!
I'm nearing the end of my first trimester. One that has been full of nausea as well as fantastic mood swings that have left poor Logan confused and dazed. One time staring straight ahead as I sobbed uncontrollably in the passenger seat. Oh yeah, it got that bad, but there's hope. This is my 12th week of pregnancy which means next week will be the start of the second trimester and that means less nausea, more appetite, hopefully a few less tears, and I'll begin to show!!
So that's the real reason that I haven't been blogging much. I really haven't had much on my mind except the baby but I wanted to wait until the second trimester to announce the news. I know we're not quite there yet but I'm impatient and recently found out that a certain brother already knew about it which is the other reason I was waiting to go "public".
I was initially unsure of my due date so I had an early ultrasound done last month. It's pretty hard to distinguish body parts so I included a reference to help :)
At the time the ultrasound photo was taken the baby's arms and legs were quite short. The doctor actually referred to them as "buds" which made me think of a gummy bear. The baby and gummy bear are in the same position and if you're good at reading these things you can probably see the head on the right there. It's just the roundish bit that's a tad lighter than the rest. Everyone else will just have to take my word for it ;) The baby is due on or around it's uncle Ty's birthday (March 5th). I hope the end of this first crazy trimester will mean that I'll feel more up to blogging our activities and documenting this wonderful adventure!
Oh and in case you're wondering about Rowan I think he'll handle it alright... okay, I'm praying he handles it alright! He's recently discovered babies, that is he's learned to say "baby" and that they're those little squiggly things that are smaller than him and cry. I told him there was one in my tummy which confused him because I'm not really showing but he still gave my tummy a kiss. Then asked me for the next hour about a baby in his tummy and in the tummy of almost every toy animal he has. I suppose I probably should have waited to tell him about the baby in me.... I'm pretty optimistic about him accepting a new little sibling and I know he'll be a great big brother in the long run :)
Logan is in the background drawing a bath for this sticky mess who obviously enjoyed his dish of chocolate ice cream.

a smattering of photos
Last weekend we went to a ball, it was super fun but I didn't get very good pictures of us so this is what you get...
and my sparkly hair :)
On the way to bring #1 babysitter Aunty "Coco" back home we got a hot dog lunch for Rowan which he decided his fish would like to share. He's saying, "Aaaaaaaaaaah".
Hot weather in Portland means playing with the hose. At first Rowan just sat on the sidelines with Max (who is scared of getting wet). While the boys engaged in... um, cooling activities...
Pointing,
dancing,
A pretty good summary of how Rowan spends his time these days :)
So there you go! Pictures!

The morning after, we're happy because we did not stay for drinking and dancing.
I think we were asleep by 11 :)

Later one of Rowan's faaavorite people "me" (Cameron) let Rowan play with the hose too. He's a good uncle :)
These pictures are from earlier in July, I don't remember exactly when but they're good ones!
