Belly pictures

This was taken on 4-14-09.

It's officially time for this baby to come out!! We had an appointment last Thursday and everything is looking good. The doctor even told us we could start walking to get the baby to move down. The appointment was cut short because he had to go deliver twins but I'm thinking he believes the baby is going to come early :)

Update

Since I'm not working anymore I really don't have any reason not to update the blog so here's the most recent update. I had an appointment last week and my doctor took me off of work because I'm starting to have some contractions and I get really swollen after working all day. The baby is already head down and growing perfectly. Since I've been home, I remember why I love being a stay at home wife/mom. I love having the house clean when Kyle comes home and having dinner on the table for him. Since everything is clean and done, we get to spend more time in the evening together. For about the last three weeks we have been trying to not be couch potatoes. We live in such a beautiful place with the best weather and we never take advantage of it. So far our tv has been turned off more the last 3 weeks than the whole time we've been married (it's sad to admit that). Jack enjoys it as well because he usually comes with us wherever we go. We've also been working on William's room. Everything is done EXCEPT the stupid dresser. We got the dresser at Walmart and when I opened it up, none of the hardware was in the box. So we had to wait for 7 business days for the hardware to be shipped to us. So I finally got it all put together and realize that I'm still missing the screws for the knobs and drawer guides (for the drawer to slide back and forth) are warped and the drawers don't work. So now we're waiting for more hardware but after that we're done with the room! Ok, this is a very long update but I also have recent bump pics. Enjoy!

Almost 34 weeks.

31 Weeks

Finally I have a new baby belly picture. There will be more thanks to my mom. Things with the baby are really starting to come together. We have all of our nursery furniture and we're going to set everything up next weekend. I'm still feeling good just starting to get a little uncomfortable . I've started having some hip pain and really bad swelling in my hands, feet, and my face but that's it. The countdown is officially on. 9 MORE WEEKS!

Baby Shower Pics

Yesterday I had my baby shower and it was awesome!! Heather and Chandra did an amazing job with everything. Thankfully my mom and Tati got to come down for the shower and it made it so much more special. The pictures are totally random order.

Week 24

BIG BABY UPDATE!!!

Today we had our "big" ultrasound appointment where they look at every single part of the baby to make sure everything is developing correctly and nothing is wrong. We found out we have a perfectly healthy baby. We also found out we are having a.......BOY!!! We are both very excited to be having a boy. Kyle chose the name William Alfred Parrish and I think it is the perfect name for our little boy. Mom and the kids got to come to the appointment with us which was pretty cool. I'm not quite sure the kids understood exactly what was going on. The ultrasound tech was very nice. She did all her measurements and then got the rest of the family so they could come in and find out the sex. After they all got there, she spent about 10 mins. showing them the whole baby and then telling us the sex. It was pretty cool that she took the extra time with the family. Here are all the pictures she printed off for us.
