Unfortunately, we don't have a sonogram and shouldn't have another one done until we're ~37 weeks (8 more weeks)! :( I did go to the doctor last week and everything is checking out fine and I now go every 2 weeks for checkups.

Father's Day was a blast. I decided to plan a little date for Jason at Color Me Mine for us to each make something for Aidan's nursery. Jason painted him a Fire Truck Bank and I did a Dragon. I should have known this might have not been the best place to take someone with ADD, but we had a good time, nonetheless.


Jason also got some great gifts. I prepared him for Daddy Diaper Duty with a 5 Piece Set Florida State diaper bag custom-made for him. His mom got him a "Boy Maker" hat and t-shirt, since, well, he is the boy maker in his family... ;)


Jason and I have each made our first (non-nursery) purchases for Aidan. Can you tell which one Jason bought? I hope Aidan's feet can fit into those at birth, because if that can't be part of his leaving the hospital outfit, I think Jason might leave him there...


We seem to be getting everything wrapped up and ready to go. There is a lady that does daycare in-home who has cared for several babies of ladies that work at my office. We lucked out and she has an opening in September and is willing to hold the spot for us until November! We are going to meet with her and "interview" her next week. The rest of the furniture comes in this weekend and we got the glider ordered, so we hope to have the nursery all done by the end of July.

I started Prenatal Yoga this past week. I don't think I'll be making any best friends in the class. When we were asked to discuss our "birthing plans", they are all going on about natural births at the birthing center and looked a little bit shocked/disgusted when I said my birthing plan was to "just give me the drugs!"...in a hospital. Oh well, I seriously think it is doing magic for my backaches, so I'll survive the disappointed looks each week for the payoff.

Everyone has been asking if the dogs seem to have changed/know the baby is coming. Well Sumo and Roxie are completely oblivious (shocker), but Georgia seems to know. Her normal position here lately has been laying her head on top of my belly (below). She is also becoming a little protective of me and doesn't let me leave her sight very often. So sweet!


That's all for now...love you all!

We are at 27 weeks now and it's starting to get HOT! (This is my pathetic attempt for everyone to feel sorry for me this summer, because Jason doesn't have sympathy anymore.) :) Below is a picture at 26 weeks.


I went to the doctor last week and everything checked out good. The bump was measuring at 27 weeks which the doctor said was perfect. The nurse had a hard time reading Aidan's heartbeat because everytime she would get it, he would move away. (We definitely have a very active little man!)

We got our Cystic Fibrosis test back last week and it was negative. I also was lucky enough to do the glucose test (so gross). I got the results back today and I PASSED, so now I don't have to do the 3 hour glucose test!!! (J said we're having an Oreo party tonight to celebrate...dork.)

Daddy is having a hard time with the pregnancy. I got him a maternity pillow last week to try and help with his lack of sleep, but the part I'm struggling with is explaining to him that this is Aidan's room and these are Aidan's toys! ;)






The other weekend, we had a great time meeting my family in Galveston. The 26th Annual AIA Sandcastle Competition was going on. We watched the projects go up all day. It was incredible! Most of the participants were Architects or Engineers, so they had the skills.

Grace and I hanging out on the beach:


Sandcastles!!! (there were 60+, but these were some of our favorites):




Memorial Day weekend, Pleasure Pier re-opened since the 1900 Hurricane struck it. We ate at Fish Tales (yum!) across the street and then walked over afterwards:


That's all we've got for now.

Love you all!
