31 weeks and counting down!


9 More weeks to go! I can't believe it! Belly is continuously expanding!


We finished our child birth class this week and we learned basic concepts like how to bathe a newborn, swaddle a newborn, and basic diaper changing. It was informative and very helpful for Tim. We asked a lot of questions! So I think we are as ready as we are going to be!


Last weekend Tim put together the crib and my brother put together the changing table! So the furniture is ready, I am patiently waiting for the room to get finished. It is about 1/4 done and it looks great! Hopefully the end of the weekend, I will have an adorable baby boys room!

We are so excited to meet this little guy and can't wait to see what he looks like, what his personality is like, and watch him grow up! We can't wait! Now if we could only agree on a name for our baby!

29 weeks!




So I am a little early in posting my blog, but I guess I missed it! I was on vacation in the Bahama's for my friends wedding with all my girlfriends! It was a lot of fun, very humid and warm, but a lot of fun.

Baby Marco was especially active this weekend, I am not sure why if it was because we were out of routine or what, but he was moving around like crazy. All the girls got a chance to feel him move around. He is starting to keep me up a little now because he is so active at night. The plane rides were fine, I have extremly bad heartburn on the way home last night which made it difficult to sit there for 3 hours, all the crap airport food did not help the situation.

Being in a tropical place and not being able to enjoy a tropical drink or 10 was hard, but I have enjoyed being pregnant so I tried to think of what the outcome is going to be which made it a little easier. And feeling great in the morning was pretty nice as well!

It was a beautiful wedding! 71 people from the states traveled to the Bahama's for Darcy and Joel's Wedding. It was crazy how many people came. Darcy and Joel's family are all wonderful people and made us all feel like family.

Congrats to Joe and Melissa Biller! Tim and I would personally like to welcome, Cameron Edwin Biller to the world! We can't wait to see pictures and meet the little guy!

I have appointments every two weeks now, so we are counting down, 11 more weeks to go. The crib comes this week and so does the changing table. The room is not done yet, but Tim has until the end of October before I start panicking! I will be sure to post photos when it is finished!

28 weeks!!!


28 weeks today! Time is really flying now! Belly is growing in what seem like feet these days. It is really getting in the way, making it more and more diffcult to manuever my body.

We had what Tim and I call a flash into the future last night. We were woken up this morning at 3:00 in the morning to Payton having a seizure, which was followed by another 10 minutes later, then followed by a 3rd two minutes later. We gave him diazapam as directed by the doctor, which took a few minutes to kick in and thank god he was in the car on the way to the vet when it had reached it's full effect or I don't think Tim would have been able to get him in the car. We were at the vet until 5:30 in the morning trying to figure out the next plan for our current baby! We ended up taking him home which saved us probably $300 and tried to get some sleep. Until.. I went upstairs and realized our entire bedroom smelled like urine (which is a side effect of the seizures) So it wasn't quite time to sleep. It was quite an eventful night and all 3.5 of us are exhausted! Payton is fine and back to normal other then a little weak in the hind legs but no seizures since this morning!

Our flash into the future that I was referring to is being woke in the middle of a beautiful sleep, all cuddled up under the covers sleeping soundly in mid dream. Those nights will probably be few and far between come about 12 weeks or so! We are going to try to enjoy them for the next few months, until our little bundle of joy is waking us up at night because he is hungry, wet, or just really wants to make some noise!

Being up at 3:00 in the morning, and when I finally laid down about 6:00, that little man marco, was movin and groovin the entire morning, I think he knew we were a little off routine!

FYI, next week, Tim and I are headed to our last vacation destination before the baby comes and we are looking forward to it, so there will not be a post next week. We are going to the Bahamas for my friend from College's wedding! Relaxation is about all we are going to be doing with all of my best girlfriends in the world! Congrats Darcy! We love you and Joel and can't wait to share your special day with you.


See you at 30 weeks!
