It's been a hectic couple of weeks around here!
*We've been getting the baby's room together! It's almost done. We're hoping to finish it up this weekend.
*Scott was in New Jersey on business from the 16th to the 19th. Ironically he was staying about a half hour from where we used to live! Josh and I spent a lot of time with our Playgroup friends while he was gone... trying to make the time pass quickly. We had Jill & Ella over for dinner one night, and met a few other moms at the mall another night. Keeping busy seemed to help a lot.
*We had the Rattay family picnic the following weekend.
*I had an OB appointment on the 24th. (All is well, as long as I take it easy.) Scott took the day off, and took Joshua to a playgroup in South Park. They went to the Game Preserve and fed the ducks. Josh showed his Daddy the ropes of participating in a playgroup. The Moms told me it was cute!
*We did a couple of story times, and walks in the park, and other groups as well. It's always best to keep Josh occupied!
*We went to camp over the weekend... had a great time. It will probably be the last trip of the year for us. I'm not comfortable being so far away from Magee Hospital at this point, and then I'm not sure I'll want to take a newborn up in the fall...but you never know! There's always next summer!

July 2 - July 15
We've had a busy couple of weeks, and I haven't been able to update until now. We've been getting ready for the new baby (only 8 wks to go at this point!), and trying to keep cool in the summer heat. Thank goodness for central air!
* Last Monday we went to the PA Trolley Museum with our playgroup. Joshua LOVED it! They let the kids crawl over all sorts of trolleys, and then we wrapped up the tour with a 20 minute ride on one. The whole time Joshua kept saying "ding ding". The conductor let the kids ding the bell, and they all seemed to have a great time.
*We went to the South Park Game preserve again with our friends Jill & Ella to feed the ducks last Tuesday. We were able to see the buffalo on the hill this time. Josh liked the ducks much better though.
*Wednesday was the 4th of July! We went to the Brentwood Parade. Josh loved chasing the candy that was thrown from the parade participants. He had his first taste of Tootsie Roll, and had a lollipop too. We weren't sure how Josh would do with all the noise, and having to sit there for two hours, but he really seemed to enjoy it! I think it's the first parade I've ever been to that I haven't actually been IN, so it was a new experience for me, too. It was a lot of fun.
*This Monday we did our usual walk in South Park, and after nap time we went to a playgroup in the afternoon.
*Tuesday I had an OB appointment. Things are still on track at this point. I've been having contractions for the past 2 months, but they don't seem too concerned, as long as they aren't timable. I still haven't gained any weight, either. I'm down about 45 lbs right now. Although, I think when I go back next week they're going to tell me I've gained a couple pounds - I'm feeling extra huge right now.
*Wednesday we did our favorite story time at Mt. Lebanon Library again. Josh will be too old for it pretty soon, so I'm hoping that the one for the next age group is as much fun for him as this one is.
*Saturday we went to the zoo! (Yes, again!) I'm loving this membership pass! I've taken Josh at least 3 times myself, and Scott has come with us an additional 2 or 3 times... The membership is going to pay for itself by the end of August at this rate... and it's good until March! We're definitely getting our moneys worth!
*Sunday we went to Trader Jacks, and Yu's International Buffet for supper. Scott tried fried frogs legs. He liked them. A lot. I almost puked. It was interesting hehe.
Scott left town for New Jersey this morning. (Ironically he'll be staying about 30 minutes from where we used to live.) He has meetings with some big shots from corporate this week. He'll be home Thursday night sometime. Then he leaves town again for Columbus, Oh and then Chicago the following week. It makes me a little nervous with the baby coming so soon - and my having contractions. Hopefully this will be the last of the trips for awhile!

June 25 - July 1
This week was pretty typical of the rest of this summer. BUSY! Joshua loves being outside, and we've been trying to get him out as much as possible.
*Monday we did our usual walk, and then met up with some other members of our playgroup at the Children's Playground. One of the moms is a photographer, and she's doing some professional shots of Josh for me. Just wait until you see them!
*Tuesday I had an OB appointment. I've only got 10 weeks to go (give or take).
*Wednesday our favorite story time started its next session. It was cute when Josh realized where we were... he said "Ooooohh!" really loudly... in a library, mind you! Thankfully the librarians understand those kinds of things. Hehe
* Sunday morning we went to the zoo, again. (Gotta love the membership passes!) We've found if you get there when the gates open at 9 AM, you'll have a much better time, than if you get there in the middle of the day! There were MAYBE 50 cars in the lot, so we had a great parking place. By the time we got the stroller and everything out of the van, and got to the gates, most of the people had gone through already. We were able to walk leisurely through, without having a ton of people crowding us out of the viewing areas. Most of the animals were up and moving around, too. I guess afternoon heat tires them out.
We were also able to let Joshua walk A LOT on his own. We were only 1 family of maybe 3 or 4 in the Kids Kingdom play area, so Joshua was actually able to use the big slide (although he wasn't too impressed.) Once we made it through, past the kangaroos, we went into the playground behind the snack booths, and he was the only one playing there, and I was able to get some great pictures hehe.
