Ty's Room!!!!

Ok so yall have been so patient on seeing pictures of his room.... well here they are!!!

Sara covered the pillows to match bedding and made the blanket on far left.

Love this!!! My parents got us the glider and I can't wait to use it!

The cutest little chalk board to write scriptures on!!!!!

This is where the dresser will go but it will not be finished until late Oct. o-well we love it, so it is worth waiting on. The mirror Sara painted to match the red in the strip on the bedding.

Just love "my area" of the room!!!!

We are still waiting on a few more things to add to the room and I will post more pictures when we get everything up.

We went to the doctor yesterday and Ty is 5.9 lbs. and 17 inches. They expect he will be just over 7lbs. and around 20 inches long! he was doing good and looked great!!!! So ready to meet him. Only 5 1/2 weeks left! YEAH!!!

Please pray for a completely healthy and whole baby and great pregnancy please!!

Baby update

So I have been really bad at baby updates....

Sorry!!!!!

I went to the doctor the 17th and everything was great!

Heart beat was around 130 and my weight gain is 15 pounds!

Yeah!!!!!!

I am now 6 1/2 weeks out and feeling good.

I am starting to feel really big, even though honestly

I am not that big. But when you have never had a belly

and then get one... WOW big change. So I am feeling it.

He is still moving all the time, but I can tell he is running

out of room. His bottom will stick out and I most of the time

have a huge lump on my right side. It is really funny looking.

I am still going to Doc every 2 weeks and they are checking

my cervix... and I must say it is really not fun these days.

WOW last time was so painful I almost had to tell her to stop,

I was not dilated.

I will go back on Monday and will also see the ultra sound

Doc!!!! YEah we love it. It might be our last time to see him,

not sure.

I am getting horrible pains down my right groin.

Anyone else experience this??

I have pains all day long but Doc says they are just pelvic pains.

They are not horrible, just no fun!

I have no clue if this is related to being pregnant,

but my joints in my hand hurt sooo bad... they have for

3 days now and I am not sure why. Let me know about

this too!

Ok on to Medical school update:

Dan got his first interview offer!!!! YEAH!!!!!

Please continue to pray for this process. We are confident

in the Lord and know He will lead us exactly where

we need to be. We are excited to see where it will be!!!

Sara update:

She is home and has been for a while. She is good and

platelets are up. Just still weak and will be for a while!

She is coming to Abilene Thursday and will stay for a few days.

Friday is Dan's 27th birthday so she will be here to celebrate him!

And also our church is having it's 25th reunion and she LOVES our

church so she is coming for that. Also he is putting her touch on Ty's room!!!

we have lots of stuff to hang and put up and she will know right

where to put it all!!!! I will post pictures after!!! We have added lots to his room!!!

We had two great showers and were sooo Blessed!!! I will post pictures later.

That's all for now... Peace out!!! Have a good week!!!

Arts and Crafts!!!

Had to put a WAY cute picture of my puppy!!!

She is just precious!! We love her sooo much.

She was playing with a squirrel in the back yard,

She waited and waited for it to come down the tree...

but that squirrel was not stupid!! hahah

HAHAHA yes you are reading my title correctly. I NEVER do arts and crafts but this week I did!!! And I must tell you I am sooo proud of my self!!

Yes I sure did make those bows!!!

Yes and this one below too!!!!

I made this bow holder for a cousin who is having

a little girl, Sawyer, in a few weeks.

Then I decided to get some old white shirts I

had and change the color!! Love the pink and Teal!

So pretty!!!

I also did some burp clothes in pink for Sawyer,

and some in Teal for Ty!!!

We have our last shower this weekend and then I will post

pictures from them all and show you how our friends

and family have blessed us!!!!

Things I will not miss

Ok So I have been thinking about things I am

not going to miss b/c of being pregnant:

Lack of SLEEP!!!!!

not being able to lay on my back and stomach

big waist line

lifting no more than 25 lbs.

heart burn

acid reflux

taking pills every night (pre natal, stool softeners)

taking fiber every night

(had one case of constipation and I will NEVER let that happen again... Lord willing!!!)

So guess I need to add constipation to the list

not being able to bend over and do daily things

praying I don't get stretch marks (so far so good!!!)

Peeing ALL THE TIME!!! every 2 hours at night

Baby feet wedged in my rib cage... not fun!!!

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

feeling him move in my belly

eating anything and not worrying about gaining weight

eating right before I swim (b/c your not trying to look good)

hearing his heart beat all the time

having an excuse for ANYTHING... "sorry I am pregnant!!" hahaha

(I really never use that one and wish I did more often)

having showers... Yep I said it!

Getting his room all ready.

I know I will think of more and will add as I think of them!!!

We are I guess in month 8 and having our first shower this weekend!!

YEAH!

About 2 months till we see him!!!

We are very busy these days!!!

Over the last couple of weeks we have had a doctor appointments,

been to FW for Brenna's wedding, gone camping @ Dinosaur Valley SP, (Yes,

I was 30 weeks pregnant!!! Go Me!!!!!), and visited my niece and nephew in Austin.

I am going to just post some photos instead of telling you everything.

We had a blast. It was Logan, Jordan, and Ty's first camping trip.

We all look forward to many many more just not in the month of July.

On to the baby update:

We are still seeing the high risk doctor b/c I am so special!!!

This month at 30 weeks Ty was 15 inches long and 3.8 lbs.

I have gained 14 lbs.

He predicts Ty will be about 7 lbs. when born. YEAH!!!!

Dan's whole family was around 9-10 lbs. and I did not want to push that out!

So I was soo happy to hear that!

Heart beat was in the 140's and everything looks great!

His bedding finally came in but I do not have a sheet yet,

so I am not posting pictures until it is perfect!! Sorry!

On to everyday life:

This weekend was going to be our only weekend free this month,

but Sara was put back into the hospital so we are headed to Dallas to see her.

Her platelets dropped from 78,000 to 2000. Not good at all!!!!

So she will be in for a few days to get that under control.

The 15th we have our first shower! YEAH!!! We are so pumped!

This shower is being thrown by some of my mom's good friends from the church I grew up at,

and a few of my friends.

Then the 22nd we are having another one thrown by some close family friends of ours.

Mostly Southwest Christian people. We are so pumped to get to see some many people we have not seen in years. We have been in Abilene for 2 years now and have missed our FW friends.

Dan's Medical School update:

Applications have been processed and sent to the schools.

We are now just waiting to hear about interviews.

God is taking great care of us and we know we will end up exactly where he wants us to be!

That's all for now!

PEACE!
