It's been a while since I've posted. I tried when I got home from London, but it wasn't working so I got frustrated and gave up. Yes, that would be what I inherited from my Dad.

Some big things have happened the past few weeks. Matt went to Vegas to watch the UFC fight. He didn't win any money, but he didn't lose either so I consider it a win. Matt thought of me when he was there, and brought me home a present. He bought me a Hooter's T-shirt!! Not only is it a Hooter's t-shirt, it's 2 sizes too small. Isn't' that what every woman wants ??

I had a lot of fun in London and it was great to see family and friends in Wisconsin. The only downfall was the news I received upon landing in the U.S. Pat, my Mom's husband, passed away while I was in London. He was very young, but very sick. I know he is no longer in pain, but it is very hard to see everyone else missing him. R.I.P. Pat

On a much happier note, we had another doctor's appointment today. Everything is fine, and we heard the baby's heartbeat. It took a while to find the heartbeat, but once she found it, the heartbeat was nice and strong. The baby's heartbeat is 155 beats per minute. The old wives' tale says that a high pre-natal heartbeat is a girl, since the first heartbeat was 167 and now 155 I may be in luck and get my baby girl!! Matt is dead certian it's a boy. He has been having a reccuring dream that we have a boy, and the boy has the same name every time. He likes the name so we are going to stick with it, which is very good since we were at a loss for a boy's name. If we have a boy it will be Parker James, a little girl will be Payton Rhys. I love both names and I think they sound good together when we have our second child.

We also went shopping last week and bought a new crib and dresser. I know that we had a used crib and dresser from my Mom, but I decided I wanted a matching one. Our new crib is a convertible crib so we will be able to use it for a long time. Matt has also made it clear the baby is NOT going to be sharing our bed so the baby will definitely use the crib. Both the crib and dresser are very sturdy which make me feel safer that they won't tip if we have a climber.

Well, the rest of June should be a relatively quiet month. We will be spending a lot of time working on our house and getting the baby's room ready. We are also re-organizing the garage and having the back yard landscaped. Our next doctor's appointment is on July 11th (Maddox's 1st birthday), and our next ultrasound will be the week of July 20th.

Hope you are all enjoying the summer!!
