Pregnancy Update

For those members of my family who enjoy updates on this whole pregnancy thing, here it is:

I'm 32 weeks along. I am only measuring 30, the same as my last visit two weeks ago, but this could be becuase the baby has dropped so my doctor isn't really concerned at this point. If I still haven't grown by my next visit in 2 more weeks then she'll have me get another ultrasound to check the progress. Hopefully it's just because she's dropped and everything will be fine. That is what I'm expecting. If not, we'll see what they say.

I will post a recent photo later. Love you all!

Batman... AHHH!!!

We were taking a family walk one evening this week in the mall (It was too hot for an outside walk at the time) We were in JC Penney's looking at baby clothes (greg humors me) and there suddenly appearing a 3-4 year old little boy in full Batman attire, the jumpsuit, the chest shield with the fake muscles and the plastic mask. He just stood there next to us. I could hear his mom calling for him. Jeremiah turned and took one look at him and screamed like a little girl, scampering to be closer to me and farther from the masked monster. He screamed for about 30 seconds before the little boy took his mask off. Jeremiah looked again and almost instantly settled down as if he was thinking "oh, it's just a little boy". It was pretty funny. Just thought I'd share that little story with you. It was hillarious.

Pregnancy comparison

This is me back in 06' pregnant with Jeremiah at about 6 1/2 months

Here I am this time around at about 6 1/2 months. My shirt isn't as form fitting, but you get the picture.
I can't really tell if I look any different or not... hmmm. We'll have to take another picture on the way to the hospital and see if I look any less miserable this time than last time. :)

Goodbye my Little Surfer Dude

Many of you have commented on my little surfer baby. Yes, his hair was SO cute at times, but unfortunately he was in need of a haircut. I could comb his hair in the morning but in 5 minutes he would look like a little homeless child whose mother took no thought for his hygiene.

So, Introducing my little preppy boy, whom I love just as much. Maybe we'll let it grow out again and maybe some day I'll figure out what to do with it! He wouldn't let me turn on the clippers, so I had to do it by hand... it's not perfect, but it's pretty darn good for a wiggly boy!

Birthday and fourth of July

Jeremiah's favorite sleep position, butt as high in the air as he can get it! This is him taking his Sunday afternoon nap after church. Lets just say that I wake up happier than he does most days.

On our first trip out of town WITHOUT the pack-n-play you'll see we made a nice little bed for Jeremiah in the corner next to me... but in the middle of the night he woke up and was climbing all over me. It wasn't that he didn't want to go back to sleep, but he wanted to sleep at the end of our bed instead. Greg, I guess, thought this moment was photo-worthy.

We were able to enjoy a great day at the park with the entire Curzon Family.... yes, even Curzon's that I have never met before, if that's possible. It was my great grandma Curzon's family. Jordan and Becca were able to come up with Addy and Addy and Jerem had a GREAT time staying cool in the two kiddy pools that were intended for water gun refilling for the water fight. Jordan (in the background) didn't spend much time chatting with the grown ups, but more time squirting the little kids with the water guns! They loved it and it kept them cool in 105 degree weather.

Enough of just playing with the water. Both Jeremiah and Addy decided it would be a lot easier if they just sat IN the pools... with all their clothes on of course. Good thing I brought an extra pair of clothes just in case.

Here are a few more pictures from Jeremiah's birthday party. Angela became is 2nd favorite Hirschi relative.... 2nd to Bryan of course.

Back at our house for the 4th of July weekend Angela was still his favorite. Even with an entire week with Grandma Hirschi he still didn't exactly run to her, but it's okay. He has many years of sugar bribing to come to feel more comfortable with Grandma.

On the 4th we went to Ann Morrison Park for the big fireworks show and had a great time. Sorry we didn't get any pictures of it, we got video, but I haven't uploaded it yet. Jeremiah had a great time playing with a large beach ball we brought and with all the other little kids who were on neighbooring picnic blankets.
On the 5th, however, we decided to do our own fireworks. We went to the dentist office parking lot next door and did Jeremiah friendly "fireworks", which means snakes, flowers, sparklers, and pop-its. Jeremiah was scared of the sparklers and he wouldn't hold them in his hands until I helped him. He LOVED the pop-it's. Grandma kept the stash as incentive to come stand next to her. When he didn't throw them hard enough to pop he would walk over and stomp on them, when he missed them with his foot he would push them with his fingers until they popped.... we tried to discourage that. He didn't really care about the flowers or the snakes until after we had finished and Grandpa showed him how to break the snakes apart with the old sparkler sticks. That entertained him for about 1/2 hour, but got him VERY dirty.

I love this picture of his face. I took the picture JUST before he turned and ran in the opposite direction. He was kind of scared of the sparklers.

This is my first and only "pregnant" picture this time around. I realized that that shirt isn't very flattering... wow, neither are those pants!!! Well, here's to only 2 more months of maternity clothes!!

This is Jeremiah smashing the old snakes with Uncle Shaun and Grandpa.

Jeremiah's Birthday Party

These are pictures from Jeremiah's 2nd birthday party. Thanks to Mom & Dad Hirschi for hosting the party at their house, and thanks to all our family and friends who were able to come and party hard with us. Mother Teresa made a farmhouse cake with a barn, silo, haystack, pond and cow. It was very creative and perfect for Jeremiah. We would have had more pictures, but I was totally lame and didn't get the camera out, but thanks to Kristina for all the great photos she took. Jeremiah had a great time playing with his 3 cousins, Trevin and Braden and Addy, and Hannah and Julia (his honorary cousins). Jeremiah LOVED the cake and ice cream, but didn't eat near as much as he did on his first birthday (thank goodness).

Earlier in the day we were able to go to Hogle Zoo as well as going to the Curzon Family reunion up in Kaysville. It was so much fun and Jeremiah had a great time playing with Addy in the little wading pool they had set up. I will post pictures later. We hope you enjoy the birthday party photos.

2 years

Here is a look back at the past two years. It is amazing how much Jerem has grown and blossomed since he was born. I hope you enjoy our trip down memory lane. Happy Birthday Jeremiah!
