Any Day Now...........

I am 38.5 weeks along. I am 2 cm dilated and having lots of labor signs and contractions. I went to my final doctor's appointment today and she said she would be surprised if I make it through the weekend. So we will see! I am scheduled for the c-section on Monday regardless. 6 more days....however, baby may decided to join the world sooner.
Stay tune for an email and pictures once he arrives..............

Our Stud Muffin

What a stud muffin sporting his new and cool summer shirt. Carter was all ready to go eat some Mexican food with mommy and daddy on Saturday night! I think he ate more chips and salsa than Darrell and I put together.

SLEEP

Sleep.....it is a functional requirement of all active little 2 year old boys and their very pregnant moms. We will take it whatever position we can get it!

Mother's Day

The best Mom's day gift of all.....Carty kisses XOXO

I have to say.....that I had an absolutely wonderful Mother's Day thanks to my boys (Darrell & Carter). For starters, Darrell suprised me with a very special gift. He actually had all of my blog entries converted into a book. It was so neat to see all of my work complied neatly into such a keepsake. It made me realize how important my "blogging" is to him and our family. I will continue to maintain the blog as best as I can in hopes that he in turn will continue to design these awesome books for me. They are so much better than any regular old photo album. The book consists of 165 pages of my writings and pictures. I would love to share the book with anyone that is interested in checking it out. The website Darrell used the template from to create the book was http://www.blurp.com/ . Carter, "baby" and Darrell also got me a silver tag necklace that had 2 disks on each. Each disk had my boys name on it and a birthstone attached to it. So I can always have my two babies close to my heart. It is a very beautiful necklace that I look forward to wearing. Lastly, Carter and Darrell took me out to my favorite breakfast spot Nookies for some yummy pancakes and freshly squeezed OJ. Carter gave me 2 other VERY NICE gifts.....1. He slept in till 7:45am! An all time record. 2. He ATE a GREAT breakfast. As many of you know, eating is not his thing and his lack there of always stresses me out. So, I was relieved and well rested. After breakfast the three of us headed over to the OZ Park to play while we waited for Noonie, Papa and Aunt Knee-Knee to arrive at our house. My family joined us in the afternoon for a nice walk, a little duck feeding and just a very relaxing visit and cook out at our place. Next Mother's Day will even be more special because I will have both my sons here to celebrate. Thanks Darrell~ I love you.
