Pictures!

35 Weeks Prego Today!

Bry liked this pictures because he thought it made my tummy look huge...

Thanks babe!

For those of you that have been keeping up with the blog... here are a couple pics of our new garage room.

We have since added a lovely couch and ottoman. We spare no expense for Ethan! Oh wait, this room has nothing to do with Ethan. woops!

I would like to point out my handy work with this custom built screen by Jen. Custom trim work and everything. We've got the Wii and the original Xbox in this room. I did find out that playing Tony Hawk Proskater will make you sick sitting a couple feet from a 6 ft. wide screen. (in case you were wondering). In fact, Bry came and sat with me for a few minutes and ended up leaving because he was getting sick watching. haha!

I suppose you really care about the baby's room. I'll post some pics of Ethan's room as soon as it's a little more situated ;-)

Oh crap! 35 Weeks...

Well, here we are... only 5 weeks to go. WOW! I still can't believe it. Baby Ethan's room is FULL of stuff. We've finally got his crib and changing table setup and we've got the last of his furniture and we're trying to figure out where Ethan is going to fit in his new room. ha!

I'm feeling pretty good most of the time. My hands and feet have been really sore and slightly swollen. Mostly my fingers have a hard time functioning. In the middle of the night they get so stiff and sore that I can barely bend them. It usually takes a couple hours in the morning for me to be able to make a full fist. You would think that I have these swollen, pudgy hands but it's more like arthritis... it's really weird. AND, playing guitar is certainly not helping (and I'm sure karate might play a small role). I'm determined to keep leading worship and keep teaching karate until the last week or so, much to Bryan's dismay. He's constantly encouraging me to "STOP!" "Slow down!" But, surprise... I don't know how to do that! So, instead he's been watching me crash every evening around 5 o'clock. I'll be totally "normal" and then, in a matter of seconds, turn into a zombie. It scared him the first couple times it happened (like on our date night). BUT, now he's just learning to expect it (even when I don't).

We had our tour of the hospital the other day... just part of the routine so we know where to go and what to expect when I go into labor. We're a little behind, so I was the "most pregnant" girl there... I was the one sitting down every-time we passed a chair. I think everybody was looking at me laughing. Anyways, the tour was yet another moment of realization... "OH CRAP, we're having a baby!" So, we keep saying 80% excited at 20% freaked out... and the numbers keep changing cause freaking out is taking on a larger %'age everyday. Anyways... I've posted a couple old pics... and I'm going to post a couple more shortly. So, check back later in the day for more pictures!

Sexy ladies in bikinis! 28 weeks & modeling with Missy ;-)

Me & my momma after church - I think around 30 weeks?

Holy Crap!

We’ve made it 32 weeks… Do you know what that means?!? YES, only 8 weeks to go. Hence, “Holy Crap!” I’m not sure if we’re really ready, I guess that’s why God lets us carry babies in our belly for 9 months… maybe He thinks that’ll give us the proper prep time ;-)

Well, it’s been a busy couple weeks. We’re still working on projects around the house. We’ve got a crib in Ethan’s room along with loads of clothes! It’s finally starting to sink in that we’re going to have a baby.

Ethan is going to be very well rounded musically. Not only has he been to hear Toby Keith, Trace Atkins, Rascal Flatts & Sugarland, but we gave him a little taste of old school music with an Alice Cooper concert. Oh yeah! Very entertaining! The best part is that I got to take my dad to the concert. We’ve never been to a concert together and he grew up listening to Alice Cooper, so a fun father daughter outing. I’m not sure Bryan appreciated the show as much as my dad, but it was certainly a memorable experience. A great opportunity for people watching (in case you were wondering ;-)

me and daddy-o before Alice Cooper took the stage ;-)
