We made it through the week - thankfully! I got called out of work to pick Avi up Wednesday because she was coughing so bad and frequently she couldn't play or eat. The doc we saw thinks she possibly has "reactive airway disease" similar to asthma and using her inhaler 3 x/day since has helped the cough relax. She's back to her "terrible nearly 3". Just kidding! Brandon fixed our A/C on Wednesday night after having the correct part overnighted for us for <$100 vs paying the >$500 quoted to us by the repairman. That night he also had to help Steve pack up our camper so Steve and his gang could borrow it for the long weekend to go to Mt Rushmore. We were all pretty exhausted by Thursday.
Friday morning we headed to our town's parade and grabbed a spot along the route near the playground so Avi could keep busy until it started. We ran into our neighbors Linda,Dan,and Lucas and my friend Jessica was there with her husband Todd and their little boy Landon. The parade was a lot of fun. No high school band which would have been nice but I guess it is summer! A lot of political people so not sure what the parade will be like in a non-election year! Avi had fun and the Rockies coach - Clint Hurdle - even commented on what a great waver she is! Following the big parade was a decorated dog/bike parade for the little kids. They had a great time although I think a lot of the parents escorting their kids mis-read the downhil portion and we saw many kids go zooming by having a blast with worried parents racing after them.
We spent most of the rest of the day inside because it was so darn hot! That evening we headed to Brandon's bosses house after being invited to join in his block party. They had a large waterslide set up but it was too big for Avi to go down but she had fun watching the big kids. Most of the kids on the block had a motorized truck so she took her turn driving around too. We headed home around 7:30 and took a bath and went to bed.
Brandon went fishing today so I took Avi on a "mystery ride" - she likes to call it a "prize" instead of "surprise". She had a lot of fun finding all of the animals and there were about 10 peacocks that have the run of the place so we saw them everywhere. We rode the carousel and the train and did plenty of walking around. We were there for about 4 hours. She fell asleep on the way home but didn't take a full nap until later this evening.
Not sure what's on tap for tomorrow. Going to be another hot one but looks like more unsettled weather so we'll have to play it by ear. This weekend is kind of a big one for Brandon and I. We moved out here 8 years ago this weekend and got married in Cabo 6 years ago tomorrow (Sunday). It's amazing to think how fast time goes by when you look back at all you've done since the time you're thinking of!
I'm 17 weeks along tomorrow. I haven't had any nausea today - and just a little yesterday. I've been trying to hear the baby's heartbeat with my stethoscope but I think it's too early. We find out what sex the baby is on the 23rd. I can't wait to find out and to just see the little person again! We head back east August 5th and not sure if we can keep the secret for that long!
Happy and safe 4th to everyone!
