So I took some pictures yesterday (and would have loved to have gotten some video of this evening) but the batteries died in my camera and I have no batteries currently charged up so I can't upload my pictures yet or take more. I will add them as soon as I can, though.
I have been trying to make a more conscious effort to not have the television on around Lauren (actually haven't been watching it much myself either) and so we've been spending a lot of time outside. Last night, we went out and turned the cement in front of the stairs to the front door into art with our sidewalk chalk. Lauren enjoyed yelling "BYE!" to every car that passed by the house and saying "HI!" to all the people who walked by who were out enjoying the sun. She also had fun shouting out to all the "puppies" that walked by and blowing them kisses. We also talked about the sky, clouds and trees and she is able to say and point to all of those things. She also learned the word empty which was kind of funny to me. Tonight we had a dance party in the backyard. We took the cd player out and I took some of Lauren's cd's out and let her pick what she wanted to listen to (she picked Hannah Montana, go figure). We danced and laughed and had a great time. Lauren loves music so much and loves to clap and dance. Wish I could find a little dance class for kids her age! Lauren also has been working on her colors and can say blue, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, pink and white and can identify blue, yellow and green. We're working on it! She also got to play in the sand at the babysitter's today and had great fun. We have a great sitter and Lauren loves being over there and spending time with their family.
Like I said, I will try to get the pictures uploaded soon. I've been feeling pretty tired and still really sick to my stomach. I've been having trouble making it through the days at work, but keep trying to tell myself that school is almost over! Nathaniel is doing well and working hard as usual. He is hoping to have this weekend off (Lauren and I are hoping that too!). Hopefully we will get to have a couple of good "family" days together.

Ahh, I love little Skywalker's picture! I'm hoping I'll get to see our little one, looking more like a little person soon. That's so nice to create those memories outdoors, watching them in their own little niche. Have you tried the half unisom/b6 at night. It really, really has helped me to wake up less gross feeling. (except my breath, I really gross myself out.) Pregnancy. It's worth it, but wow. We got out yesterday too. It was so nice to feel the warmth and today we're even going to get out in the rain. Any opportunity to wear puddle jumpers is worth it to Ainsleigh. Take care! How many more weeks do you have?
