9 Weeks and counting....

Tomorrow will leave me with 9 weeks to go, that is if my due date is accurate. I can't believe we are in single digits already!! I'm still feeling great. I'm just tired and things are starting to get a bit more uncomfortable. I am definitely enjoying my two weeks off work.

We survived the Christmas ice storm. We made two trips to Sanger and back. One Christmas Eve and one Christmas morning. Of course, I was a nervous wreck and tried very hard to practice my "labor breathing" to stay calm. I only cried once and chewed off all of my nails, but we made it! We had a fabulous Christmas starting with the Becks the Sunday before and then my family on Christmas Eve and Day. Tyler is officially spoiled..already. He got lots of good gifts, including his first 3 Cowboy outfits. (Thank you Mimi, Grammy, and Jill)Our family knows us all too well.
Here are all of his goodies....

For those of you that don't know, I am a big Twilight fan. I enjoy the books and movies along with many of my family members and friends.(I'm throwing the friends and family in there so I don't sound like too big of a looser!) Believe it or not, Rusty absolutely hates it. He hates everything about it....the hype, the books, movies, Edward, everything. My sister bought Tyler a precious little onesie for Christmas. It's the light blue one in the very front. It says.....

I'm the next Edward Cullen

She found it online and I think it is greatness! Now, we just have to talk Rusty into letting him wear it!!

More Belly....

26 Weeks...



30 Weeks...

30 Week Appointment

Yesterday I went for my 30 week checkup. Everything sounded good with his heartbeat, it was in the 150's. I'm measuring a little over a week ahead. So, Dr. Popov wants me to have another sonogram to get a more accurate measurement. I'm so very happy about this!! We will get to see Tyler again on January 11th!! I'm thinking my due date will be bumped up a week or two, but who knows.

We...meaning Rusty, have gotten the crib and dresser put together. The bedding is on the crib and I have already started stocking his dresser with clothes. My dear friend Stefanie has given me some of Drew's old things! It was very fun to go through it all and wash it. Everything is soooo tiny!!

Rusty hard at work....

And very proud....

The finished products....



On another baby note, John and Stef had their precious baby girl.
Chloe Kate Day...


Rusty quite nervously held her. He's scared he is going to break her, but he did a very good job! She is so precious and I can't get enough of her. She is doing a good job of satisfying my baby need for the next few weeks!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Shower Number 1..

Yesterday was my school shower and my Hawk friends were amazing.The shower was for all three of us and we are all having boys!







My third grade team bought our bassinet and of course Rusty put it together last night....




With the help of Scooter....


We got lots of Target gift cards too, so Rusty and I did a little shopping this afternoon. My Hawk friends bought the dresser and Mimi and Boomer(Rusty's Parents) bought Tyler's crib!! I can't wait to get it all put together! I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

28 Week Appointment...

I went this afternoon for my 28 week check up. Everyone looks and sounds great. His heart rate was in the 150's, and I was measuring just a little past 28 weeks. I got my glucose levels back and they were normal so that means no gestational diabetes for me...one less thing to worry about. I also got my Swine Flu shot! Now, I start going every two weeks, how exciting!

I have my first official shower tomorrow afternoon. It's my school shower for me and two other teachers. We are all having boys! Mom and Barbara are coming too. It's a gift card shower so that means this weekend I will be doing some shopping!!

Two Down, One to go!

As of last Thursday, I'm officially in my last trimester! I'm feeling well, just a little tired. Ok, very tired! Tyler is still very active and I love feeling him move. I go to the Dr. on Wednesday and then I will start going every two weeks. I'm getting very excited, nervous, and anxious. It will be here before we know it!
