36 Weeks - Melon

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a nice and relaxing Thanksgiving in Austin, and I ate way more than I had room for. Poor baby was probably squished because of all the stuffing, turkey, and mash potatoes (not to mention pie) that I feasted on. There's no holding back these days.

We spent Saturday and Sunday at home in Houston watching football, playing around the house and decorating for Christmas. This is the first year that we have put up a tree and it was oh-so-much fun! We're full of holiday spirit and want to bring baby home to a cozy house. Jeff and I are not big on exchanging presents so this year our gift to each other is a baby boy.

This week is a big one for baby and us. We have meet-and-greets scheduled with two pediatricians, and on Thursday we have a check-up with the doc. At this appointment the doctor will check to see if labor is progressing, and do an ultrasound to find out the position of baby and his weight. Lets hope he's not a record breaker! From now on our appointments are weekly. We also have tickets to a Cirque Du Soleil show Wednesday night and on Saturday we are going to a yummy "Thanksgiving Feast" party with some friends. It's going to be a super fun and busy week!

The best part of all about this week is that our new baby nephew should be arriving Thursday or Friday! Yippy! We can't wait to meet him and will be praying for a quick delivery for my sister Cristee and brother-in-law Brandon. It's going to be so much fun to have our boys grow up together. I have a feeling they will be little buddies :-)

33 Weeks - Pineapple

Oh baby! Our little pineapple has officially "dropped" - a pregnancy term meaning he has descended and is getting ready (for those of you not familiar). It has brought some comfort since I no longer feel him digging in my ribs. This also means we're getting closer to meeting our little guy! Words do not describe the excitement we feel about getting to finally meet him. We've felt and watched his movements, talked and read to him and daydreamed of what life will be like with a little boy joining our family. Pregnancy is an incredible journey.

A special thanks to the Grandmas for helping us prepare for the baby shower and getting our house ready for the baby! And thank you to our family and friends for a super fun party! We feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives, and have been telling baby how spoiled he is already. We are still in awe of the love and generosity! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
