Mom's here and I'm past 39 weeks!

Mom got here Monday. Went to doctor yesterday, of course had issues with my BP so I'm, on bed rest until Ryland arrives. Now we're just playing the waiting game.

Here are some more pictures that Monica shot that day...

38 weeks!

Today was my 38 week check up with my OB. Something going on down there but not much to get excited about. 1-2cm dialated and 50% effaced. He said he hoped that he'd see me this weekend b/c he's on-call but I hope not! Mom doesn't get here until Monday. Wait till then Ryland, wait till then!

37 Weeks

Recently a friend who is starting in photography took some pictures for us. They turned out great. This is only a sample, more to come soon.






I started back to Grad school this past week, but the Dixon family has been very sick with colds, so I can't say I've actually done any school work yet ;-) but will have to start very soon b/c I have a paper due next week already.
Mom will be here on the 19th, hopefully Ryland will stay inside until then.

OK I'm hungry and need to get ready for the day....

My little monkey

Yes I know Halloween is still over 8 weeks away, but I couldn't help buying Connor's costume and letting him wear it. I wish I could know if I should buy one for tiny baby or not. Oh well, I've never seen a costume that small anyways.

I can't believe it!

So Connor's has had his lovey, who he calls "baby" since he was born. The fur on it is kinda long and recently this became an issue. He would twirl his fingers in the fur like some kids do in their hair. Well, we've had MANY issue of having to cut Connor's finger out of "baby" b/c it was so tightly wound it was cutting off the circulation. Well this morning it happened again and Jeremy and I decided enough was enough. We don't want to risk him losing a finger, so no more "baby." He asked for it and I told him he got a new "baby" and pulled one out of the closet, along with a matching one off the floor and he was ECSTATIC! He didn't ask for the other baby and happily went to bed with the new ones. So hopefully no more issues with having to cut Connor's finger out of his "baby."
