I'm lovin bathtime!

I am figuring out that bathtime isn't so bad. I usually don't like it in the beginning but when mom starts rinsing me off with the warm water I get happy... and I'm always smiling after the bath when mom wraps me up in my towel!

I'M HERE!!

Hello Everyone! I made it :) Life was very busy when I first arrived, so many people wanted to see me and my daddy while he was in town plus mommy and daddy were trying to spend as much time together with me before mommy and I had to say goodbye to daddy. When we took daddy to the airport the USO had a reading room where daddy got to pick out books to read to me on dvd that we got to keep. It makes it a little easier with him gone since I get to watch the dvd everday and see and hear my daddy reading to me! My one month birthday is approaching and I have already changed so much. Last week I already weighed 9 pounds and had gained 2" in length :) Mommy says I am looking more and more like a little person since my face is getting longer and my "baby face" is going away. Mommy and I are still trying to catch up on sleep and most days I eat every 3-4-5 hours although one day I went 6 and 7 hours all day and all night! Make sure you check out the four albums of pictures mommy posted, she finally got around to it!! I'll see you all after my one month birthday!

37 Weeks and Counting...

I am SO ready for this baby to come out!!! This week I am 37 weeks and have ballooned out, so much it literally looks like I have a beach ball for a stomach! My mom and I took more maternity photos (see slideshow) since I grew so much and I hope to cast my stomach before she comes. Jonathan will be coming home soon and my pills to stop early contractions have run out so we'll see who makes it here first :) I had my last sonogram last week where we found out she is already 7 pounds, has lots of hair and has a head over 9 cm... OUCH! I have installed the car seat and am putting together my birth plan and packing my bags... not to mention getting very nervous :) but Jonathan and I are more anxious to meet our baby girl and start our family!

Maternity Photos

We started taking maternity photos then the holidays caught up with us as well as my bedrest. We hope to try to finish them this weekend before I get more and more tired and not wanting to do them. For now, you can see a few of them in the new slideshow!

Table

So at 34 weeks I am now finally able to use my belly as a table like everyone talks about, but only if I slump way down in my chair :) Just thought I would share with everyone! At 34 weeks, that's about all that is amusing, I am so ready for this baby to come :)

Texas Baby Shower

Hi Everyone! This past Saturday was my baby shower here in Texas. It was a great turnout! I had all my sisters and moms there including high school friends and long time family friends :) (By the way, this is a picture of me shaking my belly like a hula girl with the boppy on my belly!)

My girlfriend Tammy did an OUTSTANDING job on everything. She made the invitations, my thank you cards, my gift list, even my diaper cake :)



Among many adorable outfits, we also received all kinds of nursery essentials. You can see everything in the slide show. After the shower I went to Target to combine all the gift cards I received between my two showers then came home and was able to almost purchase both my stroller and car seat in full :) I still am freaking out though, I know, I'm a worry wart! I still need my bassinet as well as other items but I'm sure it will start to come together now :) Won't be much longer now! Less than two months but I don't think she's going to wait that long :)

Later this week we hope to get a 3D/4D image of our baby girl, IF she cooperates this time :) Last week she stayed balled up and turned toward my back so we couldn't do anything but check her heartbeat and confirm she's still a girl :) If I get any pictures at the sonogram I'll be sure to upload them for everyone to see!

26th Birthday

Well you haven't had an update in a while and even though I am closer to family now I still have some friends spread out across the states and some other family I'm not near so I thought I would give you an update. This past Sunday was my 26th birthday which turned out pretty nice even though I was missing my honey :) Saturday night I spent with the Murphy's and had Babe's Chicken which is the best chicken place in town and Sunday lunch I spent with my Mom and DJ and two of my sisters (Jo is still at school). Jonathan started my day off by calling before church and singing to me, my Aunt MB and Grandma and Grandpa Beck called throughout the day and my Dad finished up the night by calling me from Canada. I am now 30 weeks along and am REALLY starting to feel pregnant :) Hard to imagine I only have 10 weeks left but other days it's hard to imagine I STILL have 10 weeks left :) Jonathan is working on his plans to get here on Jan. 28th and the doc says we can induce if baby murphy hasn't made her appearance yet so Jonathan doesn't come all this way and still miss it! Look for more birthday pics in the slide show (click the picture of me and Jessica) and will send another update as the holidays approach. Watch out for my last sonogram sometime next month!
