baby number two will be here in 7 days! We are excited but started to get a little bit of jitters! James is excited. He's been kissing my belly a lot and petting it.

Cutie
Just thought I would post some recent photos in an outfit we were suppose to get some good photos in at the beach. James got sick at the beach and we ended up not doing photos but I did stick him in this before they left for the tetons and got some shots of him in it.
Jim and James are in the Tetons with my family so I've got time to update the blog :)
Congrats to Lindsey and Jason on their recent engagement!! So excited for the two of you!
Much love,
Melissa

This is parenting...
Well,
We've been trying to stay mostly inside except for the past two days where the overcast weather has kept us in the 80s. Otherwise, however, we are mostly inside. Being nearly 7 months pregnant and having a toddler, I haven't done any triathalons or marathons :) I don't get to spend as much time with my phone as usual because James' new best friend is the puppy dog on my phone that repeats everything he says. James is such a talker even more now than ever. I am feeling good. I can't wait to meet this baby and I'm excited that we haven't found out the sex. Jim is taking James to the Tetons in about two weeks with my family and I will get to organize my thoughts on what steps to make once we find out the sex of this baby. We also get a visit from Aunt Lindsey very soon and I've been talking to James about this.. Maybe Aunt Lindsey and instill some cooking wisdom on me and I can make some dishes to freeze.
I did have a 32 week check up last week where the doctor said the heartbeat was "a little on the lower side" so she guessed boy but it wasn't much lower than 140 (I think it was closer to 135). The baby is moving and kicking. I have had heartburn and am entering back into a pretty tired zone. I'm glad I can rest when James does because that will all change again very soon.
Oh, I am 30 now! I actually had a nice birthday. I spent the first half of the day at work working on PALS and then came home andwe had Wick and Anna over (with their mama's and Anna's little sister of course). I just shot this about 10 minutes ago. It shows you how tall James has gotten and some of his language skills. He never seizes to amaze me and I've never felt so much love and protectiveness.. this is parenting.
Happy summer and stay cool,
Melissa

End of June
Hello again,
This time I promise to post something you will actually get a kick out of: photos. The first few are of James at the park the other morning where we met up with Wick Pfitzer and his mama, Marianne. It was a cool place with a breeze and lots to entertain the boys. Wick is about 2 months younger than James.
and here is my new bag that I made today! yay for my mother's day gift of the monogram machine! Thanks, honey~
This project took me a while. Once I get the hang of it, though, I think I'll be able to do these things a lot quicker :)
Love,
Melissa, Jim and James

Happy Father's Day (a tad late)
Happy Fathers Day, Jim! I am so proud of the father you are and developing to be!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to a wedding in Athens, GA (Anna and Andy Frame's) and were able to be with the whole Shelton side of the family all weekend. Jim, James and I met up with everyone Friday afternoon and James got to ride on a boat and a wave runner (very slowly, might I add). He's very excited about the boat but once it starts going, I can't tell what he's thinking. He is 20 months old now! He is putting many phrases together like "mommy socks" and "daddy's shruck" (daddy's truck). Some of his favorite things include the choo choo trains, reading books, singing songs, dancing, jumping.. I promise myself to get some good video uploaded soon. I do have this recent video of us at Lowe's where he was trying to jump :) It's on my phone.. I"ll post it maybe tomorrow or the next day.
If you ever want to see videos of James that I keep pretty recent (it's easy with an iPhone), you can go to my youtube account
www.youtube.com
search for lilsheltn, and there are the videos.
Mary Shelton!! I cannot end this post without talking about my precious niece! She is 10 weeks old and growing so quickly. Her smile will melt your heart and she LOVES her mamma and daddy. Every time Ellen spoke or laughed, I could see her straining to look for her mamma. It's really great to see them as a family unit and doing such an amazing job. I'm also very proud of my sister for getting all of her schooling in and learning all of the amazing things counseling has to teach you. I hope I can learn a lot from her! Keep up the wonderful work, Ellen and Richard! Richard, thanks again for the many boat rides you were willing to take baby J on. I know he will never forget them.
Kristen and Galen were so cute too! I love that he is so attentive to her and loves playing with James too. They will make wonderful parents. Boston is lucky to have them! Hopefully, the nausea of this pregnancy will subside soon! I think it will.
Mom and Dad, thanks again for all of your generosity and love. We are all blessed by it!
Time to call it a night! Maybe I'll post some fun photos and videos soon.
Love to you all,
Melissa, Jim, and James :)
