Jack's Stats!!

Jack weighed 7lbs. 6oz. at birth but we had to go back to the pediatrician's office the day after we were discharged to have his jaundice levels checked. At that appointment he weighed 6lbs. 15 oz.


We went to the pediatrician yesterday for his (almost) 2 week check-up and he weighed 8lbs. 3oz. He is eating well and growing!! We are truly blessed with our boys!! :)

What's a girl got to do...

What's a girl got to do to be admitted to the hospital these days?!?! I went to my weekly dr. appointment today at almost 38 weeks and let's just say I am progressing VERY nicely!! At the point I am at in my "progress" some women would already be admitted and have an epidural!!! (Sorry I am not releasing my "progress" status - I didn't know if that was appropriate to do on the internet :-)

So I was sent home - hopefully the baby won't fall out!! My biggest fear is not making it in time for the wonderful epidural! I am about an hour from the hospital...and Charlie is still working in Dallas. Maybe my next post will be of the baby! One can only hope!!!

Which is better?? You decide!!

Miller's hair was in desperate need of a haircut. It was cute but WAY too long so I decided to go get it cut. Here is a before and after. I can't decide which is better!! :) The lady cut it a bit too short for my liking but at least he won't have bedhead anymore!! :)

Before: After a nap - check out my bedhead!!

After: A little too short but doesn't he look like a BIG BOY!!!

Hurry Up October!!!

The face says it all!! I am SO READY for October to be here. I never thought I would post a picture of my prego belly but this was priceless (and my mom talked me into it!!) I am so tired of being pregnant. I am hot and miserable, especially in the Houston humidity. I don't remember being this miserable with Miller. I guess it has to do with being 35 weeks pregnant and chasing after an almost 2 year old. My official due date is still about 5 weeks off but maybe baby boy will be early. One can only hope!! So enjoy this picture in my misery!! On a more positive note--we are so blessed and excited to meet our little guy. (I just don't know how much more my belly can actually stretch!!)

Quick Pregnancy Update

I had another ultrasound done last Monday to check for placenta previa. Luckily, I don't have it!! The doctor said everything looks good. She said at 32 weeks and 3 days the baby is already weighing 4 lbs 8 oz. She said that he is in the 59 percentile and is right on track but he sounds REALLY BIG to me with about 7 weeks to go!! What is it with me and big babies!! :) Our due date it still October 16th but Miller was early so we will have to wait and see! If I can figure out my mom's scanner I will try to post a picture from the ultrasound!

If you are wondering why I am still calling him Baby rather than by his name it is because we still have not picked one yet!! We have 2 names we are trying to decide between. We have decided after all the opinions we have received from people/family we are going to keep the name a secret until he actually gets here! So it will be a surprise!!
