16 weeks

 
 
 
16 weeks and growing!  Had a dr. appt this week and finally got to hear the baby's heart beat.  It was 153, so who knows what that means?  I still have a boy feeling, but I also had a boy feeling with Sydney!  Next appt is our ultrasound, but we are not finding out if it is a boy or girl, saving it for a big surprise in January!

15 weeks

Today marks 15 weeks pregnant with baby #2.  The bump is definitely starting to happen!  Still not in maternity clothes yet, thank goodness!  The longer I can delay that, the better! 
 
 
Only 175 more days until we get to meet this little one! 
 
 
Sydney was having some troubles getting out of bed this morning.  She wouldn't let me pick her up out of her crib and when she finally would, she had to have her "bak" (blankie) and just laid on my shoulder.  I love it when she cuddles with me, but wish it wasn't in the mornings when I am trying to get going and she is trying to delay everything!  Finally got her going after showing her what her outfit for the day was going to be :)  She is a diva!

Summer Fun

Summer is the best time of the year!  Sometimes since it is so light out at night at bedtime, Sydney is hard to get up in the mornings.  So she'll hang in our bed if she feels the need. 
 
 














I think the most popular word in our house these days is "popicle"  She will stand in front of the freezer door and cry until she gets one.  Normally, Brian and I will eat one with her so she doesn't have to enjoy it alone. 




Sydney is a total beach baby!  She loves the water, the sand and wearing her sunglasses!  She is a good summer girl! 

She is also a good worker...LOVES to "wash" the cars. 


More swimming....just can't get enough!  one thing we did notice is that she doesn't really appreciate the baby pool at our house too much.  She needs to explore the deep end I guess! 

Enjoying the Children's museum in brookings with her cousins.  They all had a fun day and were wiped out on the drive home! 


Beach baby.  4th of July weekend this is where you could find Sydney.  digging a hold in the sand! 



I made her take a nap.  I got on the boat and told Brian to start driving.  I kind of had to hold her down so that she would fall asleep, but she took a good 45 minute nap this way.  I was so hot!  It was 95 degrees and she was so heavy!


Sydney isn't the only one in our family who likes to play in the water!


She loves to admire my flowers.  sometimes she will try and pull them, or pull the petals off but that doesn't bother me because she is so cute!


At the Brookings Arts Festival with Grandma, got a rainbow painted on her arm and was so proud of it!


This past weekend the 3 of us took the boat out on Wall Lake so Brian could teach me how to drive it.  I can drive the boat, I just don't like to go very fast.  Baby steps!  We did pull up to the beach so Sydney could play for a while. 



Brian teaching her how to swim.  She has a big smile on her face!


Not so sure about the back float.

Here we go...round 2!

 
Well, here we go again.  Baby Reimer # 2 is set to arrive January 14, 2015 and is looking to be the exact opposite of his or her older sister.  Everything about this time is different, from the way it was planned to the way I have been feeling.  But, I am 34% done with #2 and so if the rest of the pregnancy goes this fast the baby will be here in a blink! 





 
 
This is what I stared at for about 5 minutes before realizing it was actually true! 
 
Breaking the news to Sydney...
 
 
 
What mom?!  I thought I was going to be your one and only! 
 
 
 
Watching her with her babies gives me hope that she will be a great big sister.  She loves to give bottles and wrap them in blankies.
 
 
More practice.  The other day we put her baby in her crib and spent every 30 seconds going in her room to either "wake her baby up" or "put her baby nigh night"
 
 
I still can't believe that this is going to happen! 




This is me at 13 weeks, 5 days.  Starting to show some progress, I can still button most of my pants, but after mealtime I feel a lot better if I unbotton and hang out!
