the Belly

26 weeks and counting! Feeling like I'm as big as I can get but I know it's going to keep growing...looking forward to a long, hot and uncomfortable summer. It's a good thing it's so worth it!

Connor and Beans

Connor loves to play with Beans...and Beans loves to keep track of Connor at home. Beans runs in circles really fast and will run back up to Connor, which makes him laugh so hard. Connor loves to pet him and give him hugs. Beans has always been protective of Connor and it drives us crazy but it's pretty sweet.

Our little stinker also loves to get his picture taken, on his terms of course.

Fetal Echo

I had a fetal echo done on the baby's heart last week. Apparently because Connor was born with a congenital heart defect we have a slightly higher chance of this baby having something. Thankfully, everything has and continues to look great and we have a great doctor that has kept a close eye on things. I wasn't sure what to expect with the echo but it was just a regular ultrasound with some closer looks at the baby's heart. She was very active during the ultrasound and was rolling and kicking like crazy. These are some pictures the tech gave me to take home.

This shows the baby's mouth closed and then open.

She is breach right now and this picture is her leg and foot touching her forehead.

We were told that we will most likely have another echo done at the end of the pregnancy...so we will seee more cute pics I'm sure.

Summer is officially upon us here in Arizona and it has been hot so far. Even though we have lots of places to cool off we decided it would be cute for Connor to have his own pool. He thinks it's great and fell in love with it at the store when we went to buy it. He loves being outside and helping James water everything and to get wet. He even plays in it with no water with his trucks.

Tucson City Am Golf Champ!

A few weeks ago James won the Tucson City Am Golf tournament after two weekends, three courses and 4 rounds of golf. This was his second year playing in it and I was so proud of him taking the trophy even over his uncle Brian!

Connor LOVES this sport and him and daddy practice chipping in the backyard all the time. Connor likes to count to three before they hit and he is the best ball fetcher there is!

Baby girl Boyle Sonogram pictures!

We had our 20 week sonogram a few weeks ago...and got the official picture that it's a girl! It took until the end of the testing because she was not giving up the goods. Everything is looking great and she is a growing girl. I feel like she is far more active inside then Connor was, but how quickly we tend to forget so who knows.

Feet and some profile

First on the shopping list...bows!

More BIG news!

Think PINK! We had a sonogram and the doctor couldn't be 100% sure, but she said she's 90% sure IT'S A GIRL!!! We couldn't be happier about it! She's looking great and even measuring a little bit bigger. We've had a lot of questions about names and we do have a few picked out but suggestions are welcome. We have another sono coming up this week for all the measurements and hopefull we will have a cute profile pic to post.

BIG news at the Boyle house!

We've been so busy lately this blogging thing has been on the back burner. There have been lots of unpublished posts of cute pictures and storie that just didn't make it. But most exciting and recent our family is growning. We are expecting our second baby September 13th! I will put up a picture of the little thing as soon as I can, it might be born first though...working mommies get busy.

PooR Guy

James got his wisdom teeth taken out this morning. He's recovering great, but is it me, or does he look like a completely different person? He's pretty swollen and it's throwing me off! The second I saw him after the surgery he looked different and even sounded different. I was a little freaked out. His new look is growing on me and I know it will be gone after a day or two.

Coming out of the anestesia James was pretty funny! He would go from talking loud, to laughing to whimpering and then fall asleep. I was so scared he was going to say something inepropriate to the nurse, but luckily he kept it under control. He even tried to sing a little. This was his "pretty smile".
