12 days to go...

Yes, I have the countdown more than started. Tuesday we had our weekly Dr's appointment. She informed us that he has definitely "dropped." Monday we are having an ultrasound to measure his estimated weight and we will go from there. Basically could be any time :) We are anxiously awaiting!!

3 weeks to go!

My due date is 3 weeks from today. Hard to believe how time flies! Last night we had our Infant Care class at the hospital. It was quite entertaining to watch Adam "bathe" and change diapers on the baby dolls:) He did great, but of course added his own touches to make me laugh. Everyone around us was probably doubting our ability as parents.

Lish and Matt are visiting us right now and tonight we are headed to the Houston Rodeo. Should be a fun night out...as our child-less days are limited.

Here is the 37 week picture:

5 weeks to go!

The real countdown has begun. Really only 4 1/2 weeks until my due date :) We are so excited to finally meet our little boy. I start my weekly doctors appoinments this week, so hopefully we'll get some good info on if she thinks he will come early or on time. Yesterday, we had an awesome session with our photographer and had some maternity pics taken.

10 weeks to go!

I can't believe it has already been 30 weeks! Hard to believe only 10 (or less) weeks until this little boy comes into the world. I think we are as prepared as we can be. The nursery is finished, we have one more shower next weekend, and then 2 classes at the hospital the following week. We're trying to get the rest of the house clean and organized and little things fixed before we are consumed with loving and spoiling our baby :)

Holiday Fun

Well we had another great holiday season! Somehow I think we managed to see most of our family and friends up in Indiana. Adam made the drive on Christmas day (I had to work a few more days) with our dog and then on Tuesday night I flew up to meet them. We had Christmases, 2 Baby showers, lots of time with family and some very cold weather :)
Above is a picture of me at 27 weeks. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and am happy to report no gestational diabetes or anemia. Everything is still measuring/growing perfectly!

Weekend trip to San Antonio

This weekend we took a short trip to San Antonio for Adam's birthday. We had great food, saw the Alamo, toured some museums and walked the Riverwalk. Nice relaxing weekend before the busyness of the holidays.

Thanksgiving recap

So I'm a little late on this post, but we have been busy! We had a great Thanksgiving by ourselves here in Texas. Since we were in Indiana in mid-November, we just couldn't do the trip again. Adam was off most of the week as was I so we got a lot of things done around the house. Mainly, the nursery :) We have finished it except for any final touches, wall hangings, etc. We cooked a big meal with deep fried turkey...yummm! And we finished off Thanksgiving night by watching "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

Sunday we were lucky enough to get tickets through Adam's office to the Texans/Colts football game. I was sporting a very nice Peyton Manning jersey. We had a great time.

Adam and I have both had a long work week and tonight are going to his work Christmas party. There is even a forecast for snow today! As much as I like snow, not looking forward to it in Texas. These people just aren't able to handle this Indiana-style weather which means driving anywhere is going to be a chore.

We are so thankful for the many blessings in our lives, especially the new baby boy on the way!
