36 Weeks

How far along: 36 Weeks

Size of the baby: Stalk of Swiss Chard - 6lbs, 19in

Maternity Clothes: So over it! I just started buying some close for my post baby body.

Cravings: Anything cold...ice cream, snow cones, popsicles...you get the idea. It's HOT!

Symptoms: Swelling

Movement: Still some movement but not as much. There is no room to move.

Name This Baby: We've narrowed it down but want to wait until we meet the little guy to make a final decision.

Update: I start my weekly Dr. appts this week and will get to see the little guy in 2 weeks! Cannot wait to see how big he is and who he looks like. The nursery is almost done! Just waiting on a few decor items to be delivered. Will post pictures soon! We are counting down the days until we meet Baby T. I think we have almost everything finished, just washing clothes, blankets, etc.... Maureen - Thank you so much for everything. All the outfits are adorable and just perfect! My mom came and stayed with us this past week and it was so good to have her here to help with the final things. It wont be long now!

Belly Business - 33 Weeks

How far along: 33+ weeks

Size of the baby: Pineapple 4lbs, 17 in

Maternity Clothes: Ready to be done with these and get back in shape!

Cravings: Meat...It's a good thing Austin has been using the smoker lately! Baby T. has filled up on a lot of protein.

Symptoms: Still working on getting a solid night of sleep. I got my hair done on Saturday and fell asleep in the chair!

Movement: I am definitely starting to notice some of Baby T.'s body parts...feet, elbows, knees, bottom.

Gender predictions: This section should be called Name This Baby. We are narrowing it down, but I want to start ordering some items with his name on it so we better decide soon!

We are almost finished with the nursery. Austin has been busy moving furniture around and putting all the baby equipment together. He has done a great job!

Austin putting the crib together. Belle is such a good helper!


Our little guy already has his first little hunting chair from Cabelas. Multi-use of course!

Only in Texas

I was on my way home for lunch lunch last week and saw several police officers crossing Preston Road on their horses?

The Valentine's

We had so much fun at the Valentine wedding this weekend at the Dallas Arboretum! It was so fun to see all of the Theta ladies and catch up and of course dance the night away...Although, I think we don't party quite like we used to, but we tried our best! I completely forgot to bring the camera in for most of the wedding festivities! Hopefully will add more photos soon!

The beautiful bride and me getting ready in the suite at the Magnolia hotel. Katie looked absolutely stunning! Me - barefoot and preggo. I waited until the last possible minute to put on my shoes...


Some of the Thetas at the wedding before the reception


Austin and me at the reception in Rosine Hall. Everything was absolutely beautiful. My favorite was the grilled cheese bar at the reception because that is Katie's go to meal with a Dr Pepper! You could really see her personality come through in all the details.


Congratulations Katie and Andy! KTB -> KTV! Love it!

Belly Business - 30 Weeks

How far along: 30 Weeks

Size of the baby: Head of Cabbage 3.5lbs, 15.7 in

Maternity Clothes: Ready to be done with these and get back in shape!

Cravings: I really dont have too much of an appetite these days. I don't think I have a whole lot of room to work with...

Symptoms: Getting a good night's rest is definitely a thing of the past. We have evolved to sleepless nights of tossing and turning and half-sleep walking to the bathroom. Other than lack of sleep, I am feeling pretty great!

Movement: Love that feeling when the babe has hiccups and it has been fun to watch him roll from one side of my body to the other. Like a wave....my stomach has a mind of its own.

Gender predictions: This section should be called Name This Baby. We are narrowing it down, but I want to start ordering some items with his name on it so we better decide soon!

We are busy working on the nursery and hope to have it finished in the next couple of weeks! Cant wait!

Typical...

S: Don't forget about the breastfeeding class on Thursday.
A: It's this Thursday?
S: Yes.
A: How long will it last?
S: 2.5 hours.
A: Seriously? That is cutting into Mavs game.
S: Priorities. It's called TiVo.
A: You're right. Boobs are cooler than Basketball.
S: Not these kind of boobs.
A: .....?

Belly Business - 28 Weeks

How far along: 28 Weeks

Size of the baby: Bag of flour 2.5lbs, 15 in

Maternity Clothes: Maternity swim suits are cool.

Cravings: Craving margaritas...not sure if it is the awesome patio weather or what....

Symptoms: Acid reflux has been fun, never had it before. Discomfort while sleeping, which is making for some long, long days at work and I'm getting around a little slower these days.

Movement: The kicks and punches have some power behind them now. Look out!

Gender predictions: Still working on a name. Austin loves joking around with people about the name to see what their reaction is....right now he is stuck on Mitch. We have gotten some great feedback about this one! Hahaha!
