Melton Memories

Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!

Since I don't have any plans for traveling before the babies are born we have been hanging out around town a lot. My mom has been a jet setter for the past couple weekends which is nice because she deserves it! She never goes anywhere, just works works works, so it was good to see her excited about traveling to Seattle and Montana. We had a pretty nice weekend! Friday night we did taco night and watched a movie at home. Saturday I had to do a little work but Wayne came with me then we headed over to Babies R Us to check things out. I had Wayne test drive the stroller that I really want (and he really liked it too) then we headed over to the rocking chair area and stayed there forever testing out all the chairs. I think that we narrowed it down to 2 different ones (geez who knew those things could be so expensive! lol) We then decided to go home and relax for a bit before heading over to Wayne's brother Guys for an hour or so before going to dinner with Wayne's crew. ...

Ok by now it should be apparent that I am not to good with posting these photos, but at least I think you can get the general idea. First set is the little body profiles, second is a closer head shot and third is baby A (Shake) waving :)

You know when I hear that our weather is going to be 108 (although I have to admit that is better than 114 like it has been) I long for the summer days of Montana! I'm so bummed that we are going to miss our annual MT trip this year :( I guess I can sit and look at our pictures from last year and pretend I am there sipping coffee in the morning down by the lake, reading a book on the deck in the afternoon, wake surfing in the evening hours.... At least I can dream about next year bringing 2 little ones with to share in the fun! :)

Hemi: an internal combustion engine in which the combustion chambers are of hemispherical form. (Boils down to FAST!) Our Hemi was definitely fast... he would race around the house from room to room jumping over furniture and attacking unsuspecting toys! Hemi was one of the best kitties we have ever had. He was almost more like a dog than a cat. He bonded with us instantly! We loved this cat so much!! Last week we had to do one of the hardest things as an owner of a "furry kid". We had to make the decision to put our little 1 year old kitty to sleep. About 6 weeks ago we noticed that Hemi had what seemed like a kitty cold when we returned from vacation, so Wayne brought him in and got him on some antibiotics. He seemed to get a little better but did not seem to full recover like he should. About 2 1/2 weeks ago or so I noticed that his belly seemed to be very bloated. Wayne decided to take him back in to the vet in case he had a blockage and the news he was given wa...

Here are a few photos from our recent trip out to Oceanside, CA. The weather was pretty cold in the high 60's (well compared to Phx @ 114) Wayne with Hailey & Neveah. They loved that he would stay down in the water with them Wayne with Cassie & Madison on the Pier Cassie, Madison and I on the Pier Wayne and I on the pier

Heading out to California 'til Monday.... WooHoo! Hopefully it will be cooler out there than here! Geez it was 101 before 9:00 this morning!!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
