Brody's First Doctors Visit

Here is a picture of Brody going to the doctor for the first time. This was last week when he went for his weigh in. He weighed 8lbs 8ozs at this weigh in. We go back Thursday for his first official doctors appointment. Things have been going really well. Just getting used to everything. It is a wonderful journey.

My first superbowl

Brody came home just in time to watch his first superbowl.

35 seconds left..I can't watch


Touchdown...Giants Win!!!!!!!!!

I'm Here

Brody Andrew was born on January 31, 2008 at 8:09pm. He weighed in at 9lbs 3ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. Thank you all so much for your prayers. I will post more later when I can think straight. :) I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

Brody's Room is Finished!!!

I can't believe it but, Brody's room is finished. I guess that is a good thing since he is coming in 5 days. I can't wait!!!

Gleason Methodist Church Tea

Here are a couple of pictures from the Gleason Tea. Thank you again.

Thank you

I just wanted to send a thank you out to the ladies at the Gleason Methodist Church. They gave me a wonderful baby tea on Sunday, even though I was not able to be there. Thank you also to my mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and niece for filling in for me.
Friday night (1-18) the doctor had me come to the hospital because my blood pressure just wouldn't cooperate. By the time we got all the way to Memphis, it had come down some. They ran all the tests, and I was fine. Thank goodness. They sent me home but said that I couldn't do anything or go anywhere. So, pretty much I was on house arrest until my doctor's appointment this past Monday the 21st. Dr. Tinker said that everything looked good, and that at this stage of the game, my bp was going to be up. He doesn't want to see me again until I go in Thursday the 31st to be induced.
I can't believe that in 7 days I am going to be a mom. I can't wait.

Baby Coming in Two Weeks

I can't believe it, but Brody will making his grand arrival on January 31st. Dr. Tinker is going to induce that day. Just wanted to keep everyone updated, and thank you all for your prayers.

Funny Daddy Moment

I love this picture of Bryan, so I had to post it. He has a look on his face like, what is this? Things are going pretty well in the baby department. I have a doctors appointment today. Hopefully, we will be able to nail down a date if he is going to induce.

McKenzie Baby Tea

This weekend was jam packed with wonderful events. My mom, aunts and cousins came up for our baby tea at the McKenzie Church of Christ. They came up Saturday and stayed through Sunday. We played games and had a great time. We haven't gotten together like that in a long time.
Sunday, the McKenzie Church of Christ gave us a wonderful shower. Bryan and I are so blessed to be apart of such a wonderful church. The pictures above are from this wonderful weekend.
If my doctor induces the 39th week, we only have 2 1/2 weeks left until Brody is here. I can't believe it.

3 weeks and counting

I just had to share this picture with you. My mom's friend Tara is doing these paintings for me. This is the first one that she has done for Brody's nursery. I love it. Thanks Tara.
Just 3 weeks left. I have a doctor's appoitment Wed., so we will see if I am doing anything then. As of now, nothing is happening. We went to our birthing class Saturday, so I feel a little more prepared. :)

Nursery in Progress

Hello Everyone,

Here is the nursery in progress. We are almost finished. My mom painted the nursery, and the granddads and Bryan put the crib together. Ms. Val and Jen and Kenady came over also and helped out.
We are at T minus 29 days and counting. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, and I will hopefully be able to nail down a date from my doctor. Thanks for all of your prayers.

Merry Christmas

I hope that you all had a great Christmas. I know we sure did. It started Saturday, December 22 at my cousin Shana's house.
My cousin Kayla and I wore the same outfit. This was not planned.



On Christmas Eve we went to Bryan's Aunt Deb's for breakfast. We then went to Mr. Ken and Ms. Val's to have Christmas with Bryan's parents and sisters.




We then spent Christmas Eve at Bryan's Aunt Kay's house for supper.

We spent Christmas Day with my mom and dad. Here a couple of very pregnant shots. Only one month to go. Woo-hoo.

Oops

Ok, so I just read my blog, and realized that in the last post about my baby shower I already mentioned being induced. I have no memory left. The other day I told my boss that I am going to start walking around with post its on my forehead, so that they can just read the note and let me know why I needed to see them or be in their office. Oh-well. It will all be worth it.

Christmas Time is Here

Ok. So, most everyone knows that I am a huge fan of the fall. But, I also love Christmas, and this year I have really gotten into it. I think it is because I haven't seen my decorations for the past two years. That could be one reason. It is still a little odd to me that this time next year I will have a 10 month old running well crawling around.
The latest with Brody is that Dr. Tinker plans on inducing at 39 weeks. Because I am two hours from the hospital, he does not want to take any chances. That is all fine by me, so the last week in January we will be having a baby boy. I have my 32 week appointment tomorrow. Only one more appointment before he starts seeing me every week. It is going to fly by.
