25 days old

Weston went on his first mountain trip this past weekend with Nana, Granddaddy, Nette, and Tia. He had a great time and enjoyed all of the attention that he was getting the whole weekend!! He traveled so well and I was very proud of him. His daddy missed him terribly and I don't think that he will let me take him away again anytime soon without him tagging along. He is changing so much each day, and it more alert with each passing day. I enjoy watching him look around and see different things in the house. He enjoys riding in the car, and today we found out that he likes strolling down the road (it has been too hot to do it before now), and rocking on the front porch. That is what Anthony and I love to do so it is no surprise that he likes it too! We really hope that he loves the outside like we do. It is so awesome to be his parents!! Last Thursday, he was 19 days old and had his first "dinner" with Lawson, Aubrey, and Aliya. It was a short dinner at Chick fil a but fun to see all of the babies together.

our little firecracker

Weston arrived on july 3 at 1021 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and was 22 in long. After a long day odf labor, we had to eventually have a c-section. It was unbelievable when we were able to see him for the first tiMe. Anthony was able to help the nurses with his first bath. We stayed in the hospital until Tuesday. We were a bit neervous rto come home but have been adjusting well. We love him to pieces and could watch his facial expressions all day! He will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and it is amazing how slow weeks pass when you are pregnant and how fast they pass once he is here!! Can't wait to shaRe stories in tHe future. We have had wonderful visitors and a lot of special help!

40 and beyond....

well, last saturday was Weston's due date and he has decided to keep us waiting. We went back to the doctor on Monday and will be seen again on Friday. If things are looking favorable, we will be induced on Monday. I keep thinking that he could decide to do this on his own, so maybe he will be here between now and Monday. we are all ready for him to get here!! We did go for an ultrasound this morning, just to make sure that he has enough amniotic fluid around him. He does and they estimated that he weighs in the lower 7 pounds. That is good news to me!! I was almost 10 pounds so I was worried that he was going to take after me. I hope that my next post will be that he is here and all is well. Fingers crossed!!

40 weeks

Well, today is weston's due date! I can't believe that it is already here. These times have really flown by. I am having some minor pain so maybe that means he is getting ready. Anthony is really ready for him to come. I am nervous about delivery, but I have to think that we all got here this way and it will all be fine. As of tuesday, I was 1 cm. We go back on monday0 so maybe we will have progressed some since then if we have not had him by then!

36 weeks

today we are 36 weeks pregnant and getting very excited. i am feeling good, just a lot more tired than i was a few weeks ago. this is probably because i am not able to sleep as much! we took the eogs at school this week, so that was stressful, but now it is over! this weekend is memorial day weekend, and all of my family is in the mountains. this week at our dr appt we saw dr. flynn and he very nicely told me that it would not be a good idea for me to go to the mountains with them. I was disappointed, but had breakfast with christy this morning which was super nice! i love to see and spend time with friends. i know that time will be all booked up before too long. we have the nursery almost finished. i just have to put things in place and organize his clothes (which he has a ton of by the way!). he has moved ALOT today and is doing some severe punching from side to side. he is in position though, so i hope that he stays that way!

baby talk

we had Chris and Heather's wedding this weekend. It was a lot of fun and I was able to dance around for a bit, but boy it tired me out! It was fun seeing some old friends who are also pregnant. We talked about all the things going on with our pregnancies. Weston is still growing and moving around a lot. He hurts me sometimes!
We are so ready to hold him! Only 8 more weeks. We have a shower at Daniels shower this afternoon and can't wait to see everyone there!

baby showers and weddings....

this weekend was great! On Thursday, I had a shower at school and got some great gifts. The people that I work with are awesome! We left Friday for Scott and Gretchen's wedding in Wrightville Beach. We rented a house with some other couples and it was a great weekend! We had a great time at the rehearsal dinner and wedding and reception. I was able to dance a bit and that wore me out! With Weston doing a lot of moving this weekend, there were a lot of people who were amazed at my stomach bouncing around. We are 30 weeks along now, so getting closer and closer!

29 weeks

He has moved around a lot today! I love that feeling. It is absolutely a miracle. Ginny had Aubrey early Sunday morning. we went to visit yesterday afternoon and the baby and mommy were doing well. Aubrey was so pretty! I went back to school today for the first day since spring break. Anthony has been into turkey hunting since it came in season on Saturday. he has been "putting them in the truck" as the lingo goes. They have had some great luck so far. We have a busy week with Scott and Gretchen's wedding in wrightsville beach this weekend, a doctor's appt, and a baby shower at Fremont STARS on Thursday. We are excited about the wedding this weekend and look forward to spending time with friends.

First Shower

Today we had a great turn out at our first shower. It was a book shower given by Sarah Beth, Lauran, and Tia. Weston got some great books and other things that I know we will need. I loved having most of my closest friends there to help get ready for him. They are some experts that I will be calling on in the near future!
Today is 29 weeks. I can't believe that we only have 11 left to go! I am still feeling good, he moves around a lot! Weston will have some girlfriends born soon...Aubrey (Ginny) should be here within the week and Callaway (Amber) will be born in May. They were both at the shower today as well. Time is flying by and I know that he will be here before we know it!

28 weeks

This is the first post for our new family blog....and we are 28 weeks pregnant! We are very excited about welcoming our bundle of joy!

After seeing the 3d images of our little one, this all became real and even more exciting. I finally decided to start showing and now there is no mistaking that I am pregnant. Anthony is ready to take him hunting, fishing, etc. Things have been great so far, so sickness, the sugar test is passed, and we are getting the room ready.
