Nothing new. I am 4 weeks away from my due date. I’m getting excited to meet our little boy. Here are a few pictures that Chad took before Caleb and I left for work this morning. Caleb loves wearing hats!

Not much

This past weekend, Audrey and Donnie came down to help with my nesting instinct. They brought Caleb’s new bed (Chad’s bunkbeds that he used from the time he was out of the crib until we got married). Unfortunately we did not get them set up, but we got some other things done (bed in guest room set up). We always enjoy the visit, and Caleb especially loves the time with his Wheez and Pa.* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated ** WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *

5 more weeks to go as of tomorrow. I am getting anxious, but trying to be patients (especially since we are not all the way ready for this little one). My doctor’s appointment today went well. Nothing new. I definitely hit the 30# weight gain mark today. Oh well.

We finally got new phones. If you did not get and email and need our new phones numbers, please comment or email us. It is nice to have my own phone again (what a luxury).

The last 2 weeks

Not much has been going on. We are still debating on phone options after my cell phone died, but for now Chad and I just share his. It really isn’t that bad.

Here are just a few pictures around the house.

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * Caleb also loves to set the timer on the camera and pose for a picture. So, here we are!

We also had a wonderful visit on Wednesday with Stephanie (a friend and roommate from college) and Carson. Carson is almost 2 months old now. He is a sweet boy, and I love his hair. I am thankful Stephanie lives so close, we are definitely hoping to get together more often.

I work this weekend, we get to see the Cozarts (I am really excited…it has been too long), and I guess other than the normal activities that is about it. More pictures of our weekend to come, so check back next week!* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *

Weekend in RL

Filed under: General — admin @ 12:51 pm

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *A few weeks ago our hand me down laptop from Lori died. We had been postponing buying our own Mac for some time now (over a year), but we had no choice this time. Being without a computer for a week was definitely different. I do so much on the computer: pay bills, balance the checkbook, record expenses, keep up with friends and family. Then I dropped my phone in the toilet that same week. I was out of touch for a while. Now we have our new computer (yippee), but we are still working on the phone part. I will have a new number soon, hopefully. We are definitely procrastinators when it comes to this. We research forever trying to find the best fit. I am looking forward to not having to share a phone with Chad, but it really hasn’t been that bad.

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * Another buzz!

A few weekends ago we went to Robert Lee for Chad’s grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. Their 4 daughters planned a lunch in honor of them. We had a great time catching up with family. Unfortunately Chad was working, but Caleb and I always enjoy going to Wheez and Pa’s house.

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * Caleb loves stacking things!

The baby is doing good. I am now to the 2 week doctor appointment stage (I will be 33 weeks on Wednesday). Just 7 more weeks. I can’t believe it. Our little one definitely is a mover. Hopefully his late nights now don’t translate to late nights in a few months. I am definitely ready to have everything organized and set for our new baby. Time is going by too fast.

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * A little over 31 weeks (in this picture).

Potty training for Caleb is still going okay. Some days are definitely worse than other, but today we are off to a good start.

Chad still loves his job, and works a lot. I am thankful that he always has off on Sunday’s. My patient load has decreased dramatically, but I’m sure it is what I need right now.

We have skype now. It has been fun to talk to friends and family. If you have an account let us know, we would love to talk!

I guess that is it.

Have a great week.
