38 Weeks and Waiting

I went back to the doctor today and not much has changed since my last visit. Jack has dropped a little more and is really low, but I still haven't dilated. He's still in position and ready to go, but it looks like he's taking his time. I talk to Jack everyday to let him know how ready we are for him to be here and for him to come at anytime...I guess he'll come when he's ready (sounds just like his daddy)!! This week is my last week to work at the office and next week I'll be working from home so I'm closer to the hospital. I'll keep everyone posted!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Instead of Larry sending me flowers to the office yesterday for Valentine's Day, he sent me a heart shaped pizza....I'm still cracking up! The pizza was actually very good and everyone got a kick out if it. No one is usually in the office, but when the pizza arrived everyone happened to be there and thought it was hilarious. He definitely knows how to make his pregnant wife happy...Jack and I LOVE pizza! He made my day and this is one Valentine's Day I will never forget!

Baby Shower #3 and #4

My close girlfriends, Jana, Lauren, Mandy and Tina, threw me a baby shower on Saturday, February 7, in The Woodlands. I had a blast and Jack got some great stuff! The shower was really nice and it was great to get all the girls together. Below are a few pictures from this shower.

The amazing hostesses!!


The cake was so awesome...I loved it!


Pee Pee Tee Pee's...thanks Aunt TT!


Jack is so lucky...he got some awesome gifts!


Rubbing the belly for good luck!


Larry's aunt (Tia Silvia) threw me a baby shower on Sunday, February 8, in Deer Park. It was so nice to get together with all of Larry's family and close friends. I had a wonderful time and Jack got lots of great goodies!

The wonderful hostess.


Love the cookies!


Adorable robe for Jack!


We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives who love and support us during this exciting time. Jack isn't even here yet, but he already has so many people who love him. I can't wait to introduce our little man to all these special people!!

No Change!

I went to the doctor today and nothing has changed since my last appointment...Jack is being stubborn! His head is down and he's in position but I still haven't dilated. I'm 37 weeks and Jack is considered full term so he is ready to come at anytime, but it looks like he'll be taking his time. His room is done, my bag is packed and we pretty much have everything we need for his arrival. We are so anxious and ready for our little guy to be here but I guess we'll have to wait a little longer. I know he will definitely be worth the wait! Here's a belly pic.

37 weeks

36 Weeks...Time Flies

I went to the doctor today for my weekly visit and nothing has changed but everything is right on track! I see my doctor next week and maybe something will change...waiting is driving me crazy! We did meet with our Pediatrician yesterday and we absolutely love her! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by. It feels like yesterday that I just found out I was pregnant. I can’t wait for Jack to be here but I’m really going to miss him tumbling around in my belly. I’ve absolutely loved being pregnant, even though it was a little rough in the beginning and is getting a little uncomfortable in the end. We have been so busy and having tons of fun with showers, getting Jack’s room ready and preparing for our little guy’s arrival that January flew by! I can’t believe Jack will be here in 4 weeks…unless he decides to come early.

Baby Shower #2

A few of my aunts and cousins threw me a baby shower in Gonzales on Sunday. It was so nice and great to see and catch up with everyone. Jack got tons of great stuff....he is one lucky boy!

The wonderful hostesses (missing two of my aunts)!


All the wonderful deserts...everything was so good!


One of many adorable outfits that Jack received.


Close friends and family!

Weekly Doctor Visits

It's finally starting to set in that we're about to be parents to a precious little boy! We're so ready for Jack to be here but a little nervous about being parents. We want to do everything right but we feel like we don't know everything yet. I know everything will be fine but it's still a little scary! I went to the doctor today and everything is great! The doctor said Jack has dropped quite a bit but I'm still not dilated. It kind of freaked me out when the doctor said "Whoa, he's really dropped" but I'm happy to know he's starting to make his way out. She wants to start seeing me every week and my next appointment is on February 4. We have about 5 weeks to go but my doctor said he could come at anytime....you just never know!

A Gift From Daddy!

Larry came home yesterday with a gift for Jack. He bought Jack his very first guitar...not a baby or toy guitar, a real adult guitar! He was so excited about it he immediately put it in Jack's room. Jack won't be able to play it for awhile, but Larry wants it to be in his room so he can play for him whenever he wants. Jack is going to love it and hopefully it will come in handy when he can't fall asleep! Here's a picture of Jack's guitar!

Jack's Room

Finishing Jack's room took a little longer than we thought but its finally done and we love it!!! We still have some work to do but all the big stuff is done. I'm still waiting on the letters I ordered for Jack's name. I found a lady who will hand paint each letter to match his bedding. Hopefully, they will be here before Jack arrives.







Our good friend Emily handmade this picture for Jack...so cute!!

Baby Shower #1

Our close friends Tiffany, Randy, Paige, Andy, Marlene, Matt, Rose and Mark threw us a Couple's Baby Shower on Saturday in Houston. We had a wonderful time and Jack got LOTS of great stuff! To get the guys involved, they played a game to see who could drink beer out of a bottle the fastest. It was hilarious! Larry got 2nd place...he was so close! Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Jack got some wonderful gifts! We are so fortunate to have such great friends!


The cake was so pretty, I didn't want them to cut it!
