38 Weeks and Counting!!

This week brought some crazy weather to Colorado! We actually had 4 tornadoes touch down here in Castle Rock, which is rare!

Here is a photo I took from our window with my cell phone!! A few people asked me why I wasn't hiding in the bath tub, but taking a picture was far more exciting.



We also had another ultrasound today to check on the growth of the baby. He is already 8 pounds!! Eeeek!! I'm praying he arrives next week, but the Dr. said if I go until my due date (September 5th) he will be approximately 9 pounds. Ouch??

Here are some photo's from the ultrasound. The tech kept saying "How cute!" but I find the pictures a tad creepy~ haha... I hope you all enjoy them!




It's a boy for sure!! haha- that's a definite picture!



This is his face. I turned the picture to the side so you can see his cheeks. His eyes are the dark spots. I think that's his hand over his nose. It's hard to tell!

Okay! Please pray for us this week! Our next appointment is Friday and we are hoping to talk to the Dr about possibly inducing to get things moving! As soon as we do go into labor or know more, you will know- I promise.

We Are Ready!!

We spent most of this week finishing the baby room~ I can't believe he's going to be here soon! The Dr. said we can expect him anytime within the next few weeks. Here are the pictures of his room all finished!! Thank you to all the Parents/Grandparents for your help in putting his room together. The large items were expensive, and we appreciate you making that happen for us!!

As you can see, the room is ready and as you know so am I!!!! :) I had a massage today and she worked on my pressure points to help move things along!! I am crossing my fingers to have him soon!

This last week also brought sadness- we lost our favorite pet, Pig. Many of you knew him and he was in fact THE cutest Guinea Pig that ever existed. Mike bought Pig for me shortly before we were engaged and we are so lucky we were able to have him this long.

It was hard to say good bye, but he was obviously not well. We buried him by a creek on a trail Mike and I walk often.

Thank you so much for your continued love and prayers!
