24 weeks :)

We have been growing and growing here in Chicago this past month. Baby is doing well, kicking up a storm and i'm feeling great even been making it to the gym lately. We had a check up at my mom's clinic out here and Turner got to hear the baby's heartbeat and likes to tell us he heard baby bike's heart!! We have been spending our days at the beach, pool, park and getting as much family time in as we can. Turner loves his cousin hannah and she sure looks up to him, trying to do what he does. He's still learning the whole sharing game but he's getting there and boy will he learn quickly when the baby arrives. I'm learning also how to handle two children as we watch hannah some days while aunt michelle gets some work done, it is a handful but the key is to getting them nap at the same time! And hannah is such a joy to be around, such a sweetie. I love that Turner has had so much time with his cousin, nan, jagi and aunts, we're so lucky to be out here for the month. We return home next Tuesday and then it's off to the Outer Banks for some more family fun! We'll keep you updated, Love, The Reuters

Half way there!

It is hard to believe that we are half way through the pregnancy already! 20 weeks and counting! I'm feeling the baby kick alot more and my belly as shown in the pictures continues to grow day by day. I've been seeing pregnancy specialists and got a second opinion about needing blood thinners because of my history, he ok's me to have a healthy normal pregnancy, no meds and no more high risk! That was very reassuring. We've been traveling for the past few weeks, we started with a very relaxing week in maine with Andy's parents it was foggy but still beautiful and Turner loved his first ferry ride. Then an unexpected trip to Virginia for my cousin Allen's funeral he was so young and will be truly missed by us all but always remembered. We are now in Chicago where we will stay until early August! Turner is loving riding his bike from jagi and nan, swimming in the pool and hanging out with his aunts and of course his favorite cousin hannah! He likes to talk to baby Alex and tells us he's gonna be a big brother, his favorite books right now are his "I'm a big brother" books. We'll attempt to potty train soon once i get motivated and we can be home for a good couple days. Hoep everyone is enjoying their summers!! See many of you at OBX in August! Love, The Reuters
