If you haven’t heard, the Kelly family is expanding! Baby #2 will be here in late January and we couldn’t be more excited…especially little Miss Raegan who says she has a “big sister” in her belly! We’re 13 weeks along and things are going smoothly.
This pregnancy seems to be going along just like
the one with Raegan, so if that’s any indication as to the sex of the baby,
we’re thinking another girl. But, we’ll find out for sure at the end of August.
The only difference this go around is the rapid growth of this mama! Holy cow!
I didn’t show this much until almost 5 months last go around. Apparently, this
is normal, but this mama is not enjoying breaking out the maternity clothes
already. So not only is the word out, but my belly is out as well.
Along with the big news of baby #2, we’ve had a busy month! Summer has arrived and we’ve taken full advantage of the weather and have had lots of fun. Too much if you ask me since little Miss Raegan now thinks life is a vacation and going back to daycare is not an option, but she’s getting back into the swing of things. First, we headed off on our annual lake vacation with the family and endured the 108 degree weather. It was a lot of fun and Raegan enjoyed the boat (as always) and all the time she spent with family! She got to see her Uncle Frankie and Kassie, “Aunt” Beth, her Grandma and Papa Kelly and best of all her cousin Austen – who fully entertained her for the weekend. I considered taking him home with us to entertain her daily! Despite all the fun, the trip ended early with the boat breaking, but overall it was a great time. We always enjoy the trip!
Just a week later, we embarked on a road trip to San Diego!
Raegan absolutely loves road trips and for a minute, I couldn’t figure out why…until
I realized – duh - she gets her pacifier on the road trip! This is Raegan’s
drug of choice and she relishes every second she gets to have her pacifier,
which on a normal day is only at nighttime. So, now we get the obsession and
excitement around road trips. She asked about it weeks prior to us going and
now asks every once in a while when the next one is!
As usual, our trip to San Diego is jammed packed with plans
and people to see. Luckily our first day was super relaxing as our friends Kim
and EJ hosted a 4th of July BBQ at their house where we were
staying. It was so great to see all of our friends and relive the “old days”
with everyone. Raegan enjoyed all of the attention and especially the kitties!!
She was obsessed with Kim and EJs cats, which kept her plenty entertained.
Jammed into the next day was a trip to a few eateries we miss, a quick beach
trip and the USA soccer game.
I was very weary of how Raegan would hold up at the soccer
game since it started at 8pm, but she was a champ! She loved the tailgating
time and had a blast with the Cederwall boys! And we can’t forget how still she
sat to get her fingernails painted red, white and blue by Tiff. Raegan
definitely took it all in and showed her country pride – she even joined in the
chants during the game: “USA! USA! USA!” And I give her all the credit for the
big 6-0 win.
Last on the trip’s agenda was a visit to more family! The
best part about this time was seeing Raegan with her cousins playing and having
so much fun. She was definitely worn out by the few days of travel and all the
activities, but she hung in there and played so well with her cousins – bonding
quickly with Logan on the slip-n-slide!
Overall, this month has been full of even more fun and
excitement for little Miss Raegan. We’ll enjoy these times with just the three
of us, but look forward to baby #2 joining us in January and bringing even more
excitement to the fam-bam!
Enjoy this month’s photos and videos…more updates to come
soon!
