Picture Update


So here is the latest picture of me... Still growing! I can't imagine that he is going to double in weight in the next month and a half. I could be HUGE by the end of all this! Oh well, it's all for the little one!

Kyle is so sweet - I came home yesterday and he had put together some of the baby furniture while I was at work! It sounds like it was quite a process and I really appreciate him doing that. He is such a great husband and is going to be an amazing dad!

Wordle Fun

Hello all! Well, we are on the downhill slope now to Parker's arrival - less than 2 months! I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. After a long day I get a pretty bad back ache, but nothing a Tylenol can't take care of! We are going to work on assembling the nursery furniture tonight and are excited about seeing it come together.

Today I found this great site - Wordle. You can enter in a bunch of words and it will spit out this great collage for you. You can then edit the color, font and layout before you print or copy and paste! See the example I made below:


It's such a fun thing to play around with! You can keep changing it and mixing it up. You can also enter a URL address and it will create a Wordle based on the words found on the site. Just wanted to share my new find - hope you all enjoy!

2010 Here We Come!

Happy New Year! I have several things to update on! First of all, we had a great Holiday season. We did Christmas with my family here in Dallas a couple nights before hand then headed down south to Austin to spend Christmas day with Kyle's family. We were certainly past due on a visit to Austin - no one had seen us since I had gotten so big! Both families got us some really great things for Parker (and us too!). We put together the stroller/car seat and the pack n play. I can proudly say I put them together all by myself! Not too bad...We also got a new video camera for capturing all those precious moments with Parker, so here is a video of the finished result of the new baby gear!

We also had a great New Year's Eve with our friends here in Dallas! I didn't get to partake in the champagne fun, but I still had a great time visiting with everyone. And of course, we had no worries getting home because I was a lock in for the designated driver position ;)

Today we received our first baby shower invitations in the mail! Two of my oldest BFF's, Ivy and Whitney, are throwing us a shower with their Moms... we are so excited and thankful for their generosity! The invitations are too cute and it should be a fun time.

I am now 31 weeks along and have just 9 more to go! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, but it should just be a regular check up, nothing too exciting. I am going every 2 wks now and then in February I should move to weekly visits. We are getting exciting as we get closer but there is still so much to do! We hope you all had a great start to the year and wish everyone the best in 2010!
