Hello Baby #5!

Yep!  You read that title right!  We are excited to announce that baby #5 of the Arizona Blatchford clan is on his or her way!  Baby is due to arrive Halloween 2014.  So most likely he/she will be a late October baby.  

We decided to do things a bit differently this time and wait to find out the gender until the baby is born.  We tried this with Roxy, but the ultrasound tech kinda ruined the surprise by showing us everything.  Not so much this time though!  Our tech was awesome & even turned off the monitor so we couldn't sneak a peek (which I totally would have done)!  

She also worked really hard to get us a profile picture.  Baby really didn't want to cooperate & was facing down so the angle was not ideal.  She worked for about 10min to get baby to turn it's head just enough to get this profile picture.  One of the best because it almost looks like he/she is sucking their thumb!  So cute!!  
The most important thing though, is that from all accounts, baby appears to be a healthy & happy 11oz & measuring right on time!  Only one measurement was at 18wks, but all of the rest were right on time within a couple of days of 19wks 5days, and the tech didn't seem concerned about the one smaller measurement.  I will be able to ask my doc what she thinks next week at my normal OB check-up appointment.  At this point though, all of our previous testing CVS/TSC/AFP and now this anatomy ultrasound, have all come back normal.



Happy Father's Day & Birthday Weekend!

Andy got some new & updated D-A-D pictures for Father's Day yesterday!  June also gave him a cute craft from school.  A picture of her holding a surf board, with a yellow popsicle stick frame saying "Surf's Up Dad".  

He also got a combined father's day/birthday gift from June & Roxy.  He got to go to the circus with them on Friday.  He said that the show was awesome!  June loved the lions & horses, and Roxy loved the popcorn!  ;)
And then from me, I got him a le cruset baking dish & made him a nice salmon dinner with a yummy Costco carrot cake.  I was also going to make him a nice breakfast on Father's Day, but it turned out that we didn't have enough eggs.  So I told him I owe him an omelet.  :)

I think it was a pretty good weekend for everyone!!

Summer Time

One of the best parts about summer time is pool time!  Andy, Cora & June decided to take a sunset dip this evening.  As the day was the hottest yet here in Tucson (108 degrees), it was still over 100 degrees as the sun went down.  

We have been in the pool almost everyday since the temperatures rose above 90 two weekends ago.  And Andy was so excited to show June "the coolest thing ever" -- going down the slide into the pool.  June is the only one who loves the slide at this point.  Lincoln is okay with the slide, he prefers to just jump in and splash around himself.  Roxy is scared of the pool, and barely gets in with us at all, so the slide is out of the question.  And Cora loves the pool, but is kinda scared of the slide right now.
