Lungs are ready!!!

Well, I had an amniocentesis this morning and baby Wes' lungs are ready to go! Now we are just waiting to hear from the Dr. to see what he would like to do. We're crossing our fingers he wants us to come in today! For now, we just have to be patient (which is very hard), and wait for the phone to ring. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock............

Baby Update...

Hi Everyone!

Just came from the DR. Here's an update on baby Wes and an ultrasound picture they took of him this morning. He's a big boy, already over 7 pounds they think. They'll do an amniocentesis on Wednesday to see if his lungs are mature. If they are, they'll have me go in for an induction Wednesday night. I'll keep you posted!

He looks grumpy, doesn't he? He wants a steak!!!

I guess I've been called worse...

For weeks now, I've been carefully studied by my boys and compared to other pregnant women we see in public. As always, I am told that I am bigger than whoever they are referring to at the time. They're kids...they're my kids...they don't mean any harm...I am thankful for their honesty, for they are sure to lose some of it as they get older. (These are the comforting little thoughts I tell myself in my head.) This morning, Logan came into our bathroom and looked at me with sparkling eyes and a smile that would resemble a child on Christmas morning. "BALLOON!" He shrieked.....pointing at my belly. Balloons are one of Logan's favorite things, and he couldn't understand why I wouldn't give 'mine' to him. Trust me, little man, if I could give you my balloon, I would in a heartbeat. Mommy appreciates your honesty.

One Year Ago...

Today I was looking at the boys and couldn't believe how much they've changed since last summer. I decided to open up the 'archives' on the computer and find out EXACTLY what we were up to one year ago today. We were busy, as usual, but enjoying time together!

At the gator Farm in Alamosa!
Visiting Pa John's ranch! Evan and Luke were casting their new fishing poles off of the deck. Can you believe it, not even one bite?!

Baby Logan meeting Grandma Hita for the first time! He was only 8 weeks old. As soon as baby Wes arrives, we plan to visit Alamosa as quickly as possible. We always have so much fun visiting with family and exploring Grandma's yard with the boys!

False Alarm...YEAH!!!

Well, we took Logan to see Dr. McKenzie (the best pediatrician in the world!), and she said no chicken pox for this boy! He had a severe allergic reaction to the Ammoxicillin he was prescribed for his ear infection last week. These pictures are from yesterday, but today he looks much worse! You can tell at first glance that it's not the pox. Today he has huge hives covering his entire body. If it continues to get worse, Dr. McKenzie will put him on steroids to help calm things down. The good news is, he's as feisty as ever! Nothing slows this boy down!!

BIGFOOT SIGHTING!!

We have proof for all of you naysayers that bigfoot really does exist! He ran right through our backyard, and even smiled as he passed us by. If you still don't believe us, just look at the picture below...

We're Back!!!

Our computer caught a nasty virus several weeks ago that Derek has been trying relentlessly to fix. I am happy to report that the Gang Of Seven is up and running again! I have missed sharing our stories with you. Here are some pictures taken over the last few weeks to show you what we've been up to......
