37 more days!

Thursday my doc said I was 34 weeks. I thought I made 33 weeks last Monday but obviously I was wrong. So I'm 34 weeks as of Thursday. Good. That's taken care of. Let's move on . . .

This post is dedicated to Sis. Betsy and all you other readers who are constantly nagging me to update my blog. lol.

Kev and I were blessed to have two baby showers. One with my side of the family and our church family and the other with his side. I had fun at both and Dylan received plenty of gifts! Hopefully I will get some pics soon of the two showers so I can post a few.

We've been busy getting Dylan's room together and sorting and putting away all the great stuff we got at our showers. Kevin has been putting stuff together and hanging things on the wall. What a great guy! So, here are a couple of pics of what we've done to the nursery so far.

30 weeks

30 weeks. Wow. Time is zooming by, and before we know it, little Dylan will be here! We've been busy getting things ready for him.

Supplies used to put the border up. (Use whatya got! lol)

Close-up of the border.

D-Y-L-A-N!

The crib and dresser my parents bought!

I can honestly say I'm enjoying being pregnant. (at least so far. ask me again later and I'm sure it will change lol.) I can tell already that Dylan will be a very active little boy. I feel him constantly. It's an exciting feeling!

Turt loves Dylan already!

26 weeks.

30 weeks.

it's a boy!

ultrasound!

Kevin and I are super excited! We have an ultrasound scheduled for this Monday to determine the baby's gender! We have been waiting for what seemed liked forever for our doc to schedule one. When I finally asked her, she said she wasn't scheduling one until I was 31 weeks. However, she did say we could schedule one on our own. So that's what we did! So pray that this little bambino wants his or her gender known just as bad as we do!

july update

This month has been a very busy one and I finally have time to post about it. I don't know where to start! Let's see . . . our youth group had its annual car wash on the 11th. We washed 49 cars and a fire truck! (We counted it as 3 cars!) Everyone was excited to climb it and wash it.

We also went to Tulsa, Oklahoma the 22nd - 24th with our youth group for a youth conference. Everything was awesome, the services were awesome, the worship was awesome, the preaching was awesome, the fellowship and fun was awesome, and the bus ride there and back was ... interesting. lol.

On the 6th I had another doc visit. My doc moved my due date to December 1st and said I was 18 weeks. She also said I would start feeling the baby move. Since then, I still don't know if I've felt it move. I've felt little flutterings like everyone said I should feel, but it's hard to tell if it's the baby or gas. lol. Gross I know, but how am I suppose to know if it's the baby or just my stomach rumbling? So we'll just say it's the baby. On the other hand, just this Wednesday I felt it kick me! Seriously. I was leaning over to grab my drink and I felt a jab in my stomach. I leaned over again to see if I was bumping into something and I wasn't. So what else could it have been but the baby. Kevin and I were super excited! I love being pregnant. Sure it has its low times, but hey that's life. I love waking up in the morning forgetting that I'm pregnant and then remembering that I'm carrying a precious little gift. I can't wait to be a mommy. Ever since I was in highschool I knew that all I wanted to be when I grew up was a wife and a mommy. Maybe it sounds cheesy but it's true. I didn't really have a desire to pursue a career. Now, I'm battling over if I should be a stay at home mom like I really really desire to be or if I should continue to work but work part-time. It seems like an easy decision, but my little income helps out alot and now that we'll have all the expenses that come with having children, we'll need it. Anyways, please pray that Kevin and I make the right decision. We have been praying about it and your prayers would sure help. I know that if we do what God wants us to do that everything will work out. He will provide.

25 years old

This Monday, I turned 25 years old. I'm a quarter of a century old! Man. Seems like just the other day I was turning 16. lol. Time sure flies. I had a great b-day! My boss and 2 other employees took me to eat at a restaurant called Crawfish Paradise. The food was excellent and so was the cake! Fattening but delicious! By the time I got home from work, I didn't have much of an appetite. Kevin baked me a cake (it was very yummy!) and later that night our family came over to celebrate. I had a very enjoyable birthday!



The baker himself.


Very creative, Kevin.


Happy Birthday, me!


The flowers Kevin gave me. I love Gerber Daisies! They are a whole lot more fun than roses!

It's a . . .

Baby! A baby that weighs 5 ounces right now and is still growing. It's still to early to tell the gender, but hopefully in a month or so we will find out! I can't wait to know what it is. I'm ready to start painting and decorating the nursery!

This Monday was my third doc visit. According to her, I was on my 16th week. Wednesday was my first ultrasound and according to that, I was on my 15th week plus a few days. Doc said November 30th and ultrasound said December 6th. We'll let the baby decide! lol.

On Monday Kev got to hear the baby's heartbeat. He missed out last visit so this time he made sure he was in the room with me. Then there was the ultrasound Wednesday. . . Besides having to drink 32 ounces of water and not being able to release (lol), the ultrasound was exciting. Kevin asked the ultrasound tech tons of questions and we got to see our baby in action.

Time is flying so fast and we still have plenty to do before he or she makes its grand debut. We can't wait! I still have some morning sickness and if you ask Kevin he'll say all I do is sleep. lol. It will all be worth it soon!
