The newest addition to our family is the main reason for no blog updates. This one is giving me a run for my money and testing all of my will power to make it through. I was extremely sick from about when I found out at week 6 until last week (week 10). It got so bad that I was put on medication and that still didn't help stop the nausea and vomiting! So I didn't really feel like doing much of anything after I made it through a day of work and got Brody to bed.
Brody is very excited about being Big Brother and we were lucky enough to get to tell both of our families about the new baby in person. We made a trip to Pennsylvania at the beginning of June to surprise Jim's youngest sister, Chrissy, by attending her Medical School Graduation Party. We had such a great time and it was exciting to get to surprise the whole family with our news.
A few weekends ago Rockford had their annual Summer Celebration festival. They bring in some carnival rides and have games for the kids. Brody had a great time on the rides and fishing for ducks! They even had a parade on Saturday where he was able to see the fire trucks (one of his favorites).
Last weekend we spent Father's Day camping at Pentwater State Park. It was just the three of us and we had a great time. The Park is located about 2 blocks from town and less than 1 block from Lake Michigan. This year Brody was so excited about the water and on our first night was jumping in the lake with his clothes on. We will definitely have to keep our eyes on him now - he seems to be a daredevil!
