Happy Birthday, Tyler!


First, I want to wish my nephew Tyler a very HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY!! We love you and miss you so much.

We had our 40 week appointment on Friday, May 14th. I had been having mild contractions off and on the two nights prior, so Dr. Martin feels confident we could have this sweet baby this weekend! I was dilated to 2 cm and 75% effaced, so things are moving along. Call me crazy, but I think Hank (our Vizsla) knows it too! He's been acting strange...following me around and just staring at me more than normal. Hmm...

The house is all clean and ready, so hopefully I'll have some exciting news on my next blog posting!

Evan's Room!


Above is a photo of Evan's room...finally. It's definitely a brighter blue than I had originally pictured us doing, but once Brett got all the paint up there was no going back. We got several compliments on it so decided to just go with it. Our creative friend Leanna made the super cute letters above his crib - isn't she awesome!?!

I had a spurt of energy between the hours of 3 and 5 this morning, so I got more of his room organized and found more clothes to wash. Felt a few contractions throughout the night, but nothing that made us rush to the hospital. Who knows...this little guy could be making an appearance any day so stay tuned!

Weeks 38 & 39

Yes, I'm finally getting around to updating the blog...definitely not a good sign considering I don't even have a baby to keep me busy yet! We are 8 days out from our due date and I had my weekly appointment yesterday. Still 1 cm dilated (for 3 weeks now) and 75% effaced (2 weeks now), but Dr. Martin said that little Evan has definitely dropped a little since last week. Boy, do I feel it! Brett was a little bummed out that the news wasn't, "You're already in labor and you didn't even know it...let's get you to the hospital!" Ha - if only it were that easy.

Our next appointment is actually on the due date (May 14th), so we'll see if he makes an appearance before then.

In the meantime we've been keeping busy with daily life. We moved offices at work last week, and the new one is spectacular! I guess it will be a little something to look forward to after returning from maternity leave.


Brett is spending his free time helping me with miscellaneous projects, entertaining Hank and studying for the CPA exam (2 parts down and 2 to go). Below is a photo of the boys hanging out in Evan's room.


My Mom (Nonna) brought the triplets over last Sunday for a visit and what fun we had! Carter and Grant are crawling all over the place now and Blake is getting there but mostly goes backwards until he gets stuck. They are absolutely precious and it was so nice to spend time with them. Here they are playing with their Uncle Brett.



Finally, several of you have been asking for preggo pics. We haven't been doing a good job with those, but here's one from about almost a month ago. As you can imagine the belly is definitely a lot larger now!
