Belly Shots...

We had pictures taken by a wonderful mom of a child in my classroom. She did such a fabulous job, I can't wait for her to take some of Parker. The latest update is he is 6 1/2 lbs. and head down ready to go. I'll keep you posted on the progress...enjoy the belly!!

Couple's Shower

We had a wonderful couple's shower hosted by some of our dear friends. I wasn't sure how the boys would respond to being at a baby shower...but they all seemed to enjoy themselves. I was very excited Lucas was able to be a part of the "baby shower" experience. Thank you to all who made this such a special time for us!!

Belly pics and more of Parker's room...

Well, we have hit 30 weeks!! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. He is moving around like crazy!! Sometimes I think he is making knots in my stomach. We can watch my belly move around, it is pretty neat!! We just wish we could see what he is up to.

Here is a picture of my belly-

30 weeks

The baby doll in the background is one of my sister's when she was little. We put a onesie on her and started calling her Parker to try and get Sambo used to a baby. He will lick the baby but doesn't seem to interested in it. I am sure he will love the real Parker!!

The rocking chair was given to us by Mimi and Papa (Lucas' grandparents). It was built in 1897 for Papa's father and then Papa used it as a child. Now it has been passed down the family and Parker will be able to share in the tradition!!


Finally found baskets to fit on and under the table. I bought several sizes to see which ones would fit. Lucas doesn't seem to understand why we need so many baskets. I told him we will have plenty to fill them with!!

I made these signs using "Once Upon a Wall"

After a little frustration with hanging the shelves, I think Lucas has hung all he will need to hang (for a while).

Kappa Baby Shower

There are 6 girls from our pledge class who are pregnant within a few months of each other. The rest of the girls threw a wonderful baby shower for all of us. It was so good to see everyone!! Thanks girls for a wonderful shower!!

What a cute diaper cake!!

5 out of 6 of us are having boys!! Poor Jennifer's little girl is going to have lots of crazy boys running around chasing her!!

Updated baby room

Since we had the shower, I was very excited to come home and set up everything. I washed his bedding and got it all put on and Lucas hung up the pictures we have so far. Check out the progress...

Baby Shower

What a wonderful first baby shower!! My sister, Amy, and best friend from growing up, Anna, did a great job. We received so many things I know Parker will get good use out of. We got his bedding and my mom made a rag quilt to match. I was very surprised when I opened it up, I thought maybe she bought it. She did a great job, we love it!!
