Life update & 37 weeks!

Last week P& I spent a couple hours each morning cooking while H was at school & W napped. We made 21 freezer meals! I feel very good about having these in our freezer for after baby girl arrives! P was a great sous chef and an excellent taste tester. We had a good time together!


This weekend we managed to finish getting a few things for baby girl & made our last stop at bass pro shop...H said more than once..."this is the best day ever!" :-)


Morning at our little playground. H was looking too big in his muscle shirt. I can't believe he's almost 5!


Wells is obsessed with his accessories! He turned 16 mo old last week!!!! He loves his backpack and hats and shoes :-).


I had my 36 week appt on Friday (I'm 37 weeks TODAY)! Baby girls HR stays consistently around 150, and she measured right at 37 weeks! All looks great and we are officially "full term" so it could officially be "go time" any time although I still think we have a couple weeks! I'll post a "guess when baby girl will arrive" post soon!!

Surprise Shower!

The little lady got quite a few cute things from the "surprise in the mail" shower!! Thank you again to Melinda & Kenlyn for setting it all up! We were surprised & are so blessed from family & friends!!! :)

36 weeks!!!

In some many ways I can not believe we are here already and in others I thought it'd never come!!

 I just wanted a picture of all these handsome boys. It's a 3 ring circus trying to get a picture...this is the best I could get!

Nursery for the Little Lady {Picture OVERLOAD}

The nursery took a lot of time but we are so happy to say it's finished! Well, still have some stuff to do like trim on the curtains and adding decor with her name and such but...I'll let the pictures do the talking!! :)

Porter's Birthday Week in pictures!

So last Thursday on Porter's Birthday he woke up to balloons!!! Something he'd been requesting for about a month....He was over the moon! 

Since we had to get Henry to preschool and were leaving for San Antonio in the afternoon, we let him open one present in the morning...a gift from Henry! 

 He has wanted binoculars FOREVER!! :) 

 After we dropped H off at school, we got a little birthday breakfast treat...donuts!! :) 

 After donuts he said he wanted to go on a little "adventure" (walk to the playground) so that's what we did!

Stopped at watched for turtles on our way! 

 When we got to San Antonio it was late and he was still just so excited to see his cousins that we let him open one other gift....the one from Wells. 

Then on Friday when all the cousins got home from school we had a "pool party" and then opened presents and had cake. He was OVER THE MOON when we sang to him. So so cute!!

Then, when we came back home on Sunday night he had cards waiting for him and has gotten a package every day. He is heaven getting a little something everyday. He says turning 3 is his favorite!! :) 

After getting back in town we still needed to give him our gift. Kit picked it up on the way home from work and the boys were SO excited to see what it was....

I think he definitely had a great 3rd birthday!! :) 

35 weeks!

Yesterday I had my 34 week appt (at 35 weeks). We got to have another ultrasound and the little lady is getting some cheeks on her!! HR was 150 and what else can I say? ultrasounds are amazing! I could just stare at her perfect 4 chambers of the heart beat all day! She kept her hands mostly up near her face the whole time except once when she reached down to grab her toes. Melt me!! :)



She weighed 4 pounds 13 ounces yesterday and is getting awfully squished! :). I can't believe we are getting so close and will now start weekly appointments! Here is a comparison of the 4. Henry & baby girl are at 35 weeks and Porter & Wells were at 28/29 weeks.



I have done a horrible job of taking pictures this pregnancy. Maybe it's because this has not been the easiest pregnancy for me? Either way...I am really trying to soak up these last few weeks!

I'm large & in charge :).

I will have to take pictures of the nursery and post them soon...it has turned out oh so sweet! This might be one of my favorite pieces in the nursery. It just turned out so sweet & girly.



I owe a HUGE thanks to my friend Lindsay for hooking me up with some baby girl clothes! I'm so excited and a LOT less stressed to have her drawers filled up :). YAY...thanks so much girl!!!! :) Here are a few pieces I've picked up too...so cute! There are WAY more choices for baby girls than baby boys...that is a fact!

Next post will have to be Porter's birthday fun & quick trip to San Antonio!
