Hudson Parker

Yesterday, Brad, Avery Reese, Mama Judy, and I went to see Hudson's sweet face via 4D ultrasound. We did this ultrasound with Avery Reese and were so excited to do it again with Hudson Parker. He was not very cooperative during the first ultrasound, he was face down, so we didn't get any profile pictures of his face. Brad and I were just so ready to see our son's face, finally.

Well, we should have known better especially since Hudson Parker hasn't really been cooperative throughout this entire pregnancy....so why would he decide to behave now. He didn't! I don't know if it was truly all his fault, with Brad's genes it is just so dang hard to stay still and that was one of the main issues yesterday. The umbilical cord was also blocking our view of his face, as well as a foot and a hand, so we had several different obstacles to overcome. The one thing he was willing to show was that he indeed is still a boy!

Here are a few photos of our little man's face:

The Circus

This summer heat has been almost unbearable; temperatures in the 100's for several weeks in a row. So in order to beat the heat we have been taking Avery Reese to the pool as often as possible, but this week was just too hot. The high in LR on Wednesday was 114.....that wasn't even the heat index, that was the actual temperature! Remember I am 7 months pregnant, which makes it even more fun.

So when we heard the Circus was coming to town we jumped on the opportunity to take Avery Reese to an all air conditioned event (plus this girl LOVES her animals). Brad and I were excited as well, to see her reaction to all the fun.

We went to the circus with two other couples who have daughters the same age as Avery Reese. The girls were so cute, they kept getting the circus and the zoo mixed up. They wanted to see the monkeys, the giraffes and the tigers.

Avery Reese and Caroline shared a seat for most of the show, it was so sweet. They really enjoyed the elephants, the cats (not tigers and lions, but kitty cats), dogs, camels and horses. The acrobatics were more entertaining for the adults than the girls, so we all had a great time. And somehow we got out of there without having to purchase a $20 light spinner or any other souvenir. Did I mention how much I love Avery Reese?
