How Time Flies!

Well here we are in November already! Times flies so fast when you are just enjoying your life! Our little man is so wonderful! He does so many things each day that make us smile and laugh and sometimes cry cuz he is growing up so fast! The pictures below are everything from halloween to yesterday walking in the cold! We have so much fun each day! I am so blessed to have such a GREAT husband and AMAZING baby! Life is GOOD!!!!!!!!!! We CANT wait till christmas! It will be the greatest christmas EVER!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

Ok, so Matt and I always go to the pumpkin patch that is at the church were we got married ad this year we got to take Jude for his first time! It was awesome! So here are a few pics!

Baby Boy!

well things are going great on this end! We are enjoying every second. It is AMAZING how fast they grow! I sit back everyday and look at him in disbelief of how much he changes from day to day...I have plenty of pics to post here soon! I have to sync my phone and transfer my pics so I don't have them yet, but i will! I really should be better about posting this! I still don't know how to add people to my blog and if you can tell me...anybody...please post it in my comments! :) I guess I am not as savvy as i thought! ;) More to come soon!

Update

Well I KNOW i have to get better about updating the blog with pics and things.
So to catch you up, he is growing like a weed! I feel like he was born yesterday but he is SO big and his feet are HUGE! Its nuts to think that my little man is well on his way to being a little man, My favorite things right now are one he is much more playful, but he is cooing and talking and blowing bubbles and laughing! :) It is WONDERFUL! This is such a blessing I am so lucky to have a great son and wonderful husband and a great home! Things are so great and we have things in the works that i will be back to talk more about but they are uber exciting and good stuff! Now for pics of my boy!

Two Months Old!

Well it is very very very hard to believe that my beautiful little boy is 2 moths old! Things are going great! He is very very long 2 feet 1 inch to be exact and he now weighs 11lbs! HE is doing great and eating great! Breast feeding has been wonderful! He was born a pro and made it very easy on me and now that he is on a schedule it is even better! He has started to talk back to us and laugh and smile all the time! We are so lucky to have such a happy baby! Our friends just had their amazing little boy August Matthew! He is so sweet and little! It is sooooo hard to believe that only two months ago Jude Foster was that little they were born about the same size, so when i held August i just cried! It is GOds cruel trick into making you want more! :) Well i am going to post some pics of our little man that are current! And yes i know he is the cutest baby EVER! ;)

MORE PICS ~ current

More pics. some are from the hospital but most are recent!
We love our froggy so much!!!!

JUDE!!

He is here! born 6/7/08
7lbs 4oz 20inches
Matt and i are SO in love!!!!!
i will just put pics cuz words can't explain, and my time is limited right now! I am a busy mommy! :)
i am putting the pics in order from first day to current!

SO much to talk about and show!

Ok so i figure i will start with doing a post of pics! To give you an update: went to the Dr yesterday and well... HE TURNED!!!! So NO c-section!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! So I am gearing up for a drug free natural delivery! I am very set on this and very excited to have the opportunity to birth our boy the way God intended! So with that said we are getting closer every day! I have already begun to dilate as well as already being 50% effaced! So we are just sitting tight and waiting! The pictures I am posting are all from the last two weeks. So you can see what my ready to blow belly looks like! The little boy has officially filled up every corner of my tummy as well as made my "belly button" non existent! :) I LOVE IT!!!!! Also there is a random photo in there of his bedding that we got and love! :)

HUGE!!!!! Million weeks preggo! :)

So we are really in he home stretch! We are now over 8 months pregnant with about 5 or 6 weeks left to go! Time is flying SO fast its nuts! I know i promised belly cast pics as well my belly pics, but frankly i have been lazy! The pics here are from the shower we just had on Sunday. It was a lot of fun! You can sort of get an idea of my GIGANTIC size by the pics, but until I have the really belly pics up you really cant get the idea of just how large I am! We have everything ready for him! I had to go out the other day and buy all the little things I almost forgot I needed... everything from baby wipes to baby wash to well, just about everything to keep him clean and dry! :) So i had been so focused on all the big things and getting all that in gear that i totally forgot the little things! HAHAHAHA, well have no fear he is ready now! He has a rad room rad clothes rad toiletries and well a rad family! So he is set!

On another note I have officially retired from the corporate world as of last thursday, that is an adjustment for me, but it will be great in the long run! I have so many things to keep me busy even before he arrives that time will still fly! Matt is starting to realize that sleep is going to be a thing of the past for a while! Which is a VERY hard thing for my hubby to give up! So it will be interesting to see how he handles that all teh way around... I am already used to no sleep! These days sleep is well pretty hard. Between my wonderful littles ones waking me everyday at 6:30 and demanding food and well not being able to sleep till about 4 or 5am due to baby and the WORST heartburn on the planet and my wonderful hubby coming in late (which I am used to given his job) but when you haven't slept in days it is hard, but I guess I look at it as preperation for when he arrives!

Now I SWEAR i will post pics of my belly soon so everybody can see just how HUGE i am! I feel liek he is trying to get out through my belly button on a daily basis! (if you can still call it a belly button)

32 weeks and counting!

Well we are 32 weeks pregnant. Things are going great! We have had so much fun getting ready for him. Anybody that knows me, knows I have a shoe problem... well its official, that problem continues but with little shoes for him! I have a nice little collection going! It is so much fun looking for tiny little shoes! I cant even tell you. I had my first Baby shower on Sunday. It was thrown by my best friend Crissy and my Mom! It was fun, we got some really GREAT stuff!!! We hung up all his clothes last night and just had too much fun going WOW he is going to be so stylin' and also going WOW we are so close it's crazy. It really doesn't seem like time could have gone by any faster. 9 months is so close to a year that it just doesn't seem like it could have flown so darn fast! I am so in love with this little boy I cant wait to meet him and give him a name! As far as my weight goes I have no idea i am so not paying attention anymore. I still fit in a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes... i mean jeans cant zip up but i guess if i can get em' over my big ol butt then i don't have too much to worry about after he comes... But really the ONLY thing that matters is to see him and hold him! I cant wait!!!! We think he may have turned but we are not sure and wont be until the next and hopefully last sonogram and then we can find out if he really did turn? I sure hope he did cuz i really would like to have a natural child birth. I am hoping to be able to do it with no needle in my back, just something about a huge foreign object in your freaking spine that doesn't really yell safe to me?! I don't know... I will post pics soon! I need to do new belly pics as well as room and shower pics. It really was fun seeing everybody and just talking baby! Last night Matt and I did a belly cast of my tummy. It is really neat! I am going to do a little art project with it and that way we will have my first belly immortalized! Now I will tell you that the package makes it sound really easy and oh you can do it in 30 minutes... ummm NO YOU CANT! it is a messy messy project and i recommend doing outside in the sun!!! They do furnish you with a drop cloth and there is good reason for that! And yo also need to be in a very comfortable position prior to starting the project, cuz that stuff gets heavy on your tummy. when it started to get heavy while drying little man started rustling around like... hey what is going on move that! it was funny. Shortly there after we removed it and it is currently sitting on our coffee table with a fan on it to dry it faster. its a pretty cool thing! So all in all things are going GREAT! I feel good I am popping iron pills and feeling better each day! I am about to stop working all together to get the house in order and well frankly keep my feet up and wait! :) So pictures to come (i swear!!!) till next time...

Things...

Well the baby's room is complete. I have my first baby shower this weekend, looking forward to seeing everybody. I have decided I want it held at our home cuz I wanna be comfy! It should be fun! :) The animals seem to be adjusting well to the baby room. Abby loves the new rug in there and sneaks in at night to sleep on it! And Beany... well she is nosey, but can't be bothered. She is kind of under the weather we are taking a vet trip today that mommy is NOT very excited about. But we will just take a deep breath and hope for the best! As far as me and the baby go. We are doing great, I am still kicking a nasty cold/flu bug but feeling much better and the baby is feeling better too I am sure he is ready for me to stop coughing. But i can tell he is glad i am feeling better. In the middle of being sick he became very lazy, he hardly moved, and now he is back to his jumping jack self! :) We are just counting down the days till he gets here, we should only have about 10 or less weeks to go. It is amazing how fast this has all gone! It doesn't seem like nine months could be coming to an end. It is a little sad because you do only get a first time once and once it is gone its gone... but then it will be time to focus on all the firsts he will bring to our lives. Smiles, words, steps, and so many more! Really awesome! I will touch back soon.

His newest pics!

**click to enlarge
These are the newest! My favorite is it profile of him sleeping! He wouldnt wake at all, but he did roll and look at us! :) :) :)
Our big ol little boy!

Pics

Well here you can see just how much I have gained in my face now. I have definitely be feeling it coming on... Oh well i am still below average on weight gain, and really does it matter since it is all about him right now. But these are also a better shot of what the tummy is looking like these days at almost 8 months! :)

Garganchababy!

Well Matt and I had a follow up sonogram yesterday to see how things were coming with my placenta! And GOOD NEWS!!!! No C-section as of now! WOO HOO!!!! The placenta has finally shifted! Now we just want Baby Bean to shift his body. He should be doing it soon. I am sure I will be able to feel his big ol self moving into position! He is so low as it is! Just crazy! I will be posting his new photo today! :) Come to find out my husband was a LONG baby at 22 inches and my brother was also very long at 21 1/2 inches! Well it is no surprise that our little man is already proving to be VERY long! Not only long but he is about 3 1/2 lbs! So ya, he is on par to be a big long 8 1/2 pounder!!! He is very much like his daddy already, he sleeps all day and we can't wake him up! The doctors were shaking him to wake him and he just kicked back at them once and passed back out, but at night he is non-stop go go go! We just laughed yesterday at how hard it was to get him to wake even for a second. But the doctors also got tickled at his chubby lil cheeks. He does have chubby cheeks and they are so cute! you cant really see them in the pics that we have but trust me they are there! We did get to see him "yawn" not sure if it was a yawn or a "STOP POKING ME" yell. LOL :) He is going to be great! We are so excited!!! We go to the OBGYN tomorrow to follow up with the sonogram and get a belly check and some test results, so we will get to hear his little heart again! WOO HOO!!!! I will post some family Easter pics and then once i get his photos scanned i will post those too! YAY BABY!!!!! :) So fun! Tomorrow we start month 8!!!!!!!!!! TIME FLIES!!!!!!!

28 wks and counting...

Well, things are moving right along. My energy is coming and going. My hormones are coming and going! It becomes more and more surreal by the day that this little boy inside of me now looks like a human and does everything normal! He is looking around the womb now, he hears everything! He moves ALL the time! he is already over TWO POUNDS!!!! I have a feeling he is super long! He is supposed to be about 15 inches, but i swear he is already like 20 and growing and using every little nook of the womb! :) This is defiantly the most amazing part as I have been saying the last few posts. To feel him move and react to things is wild! It is so crazy! What a little miracle I have inside! I truly am going to miss this part, but i know there are so many neat things to come!!! A dear friend of mine just told me recently. "just think soon you will have a little friend that wont want to EVER leave your side for at least 4 years!" How cool is that!?He is going to be so dependant on me and his dad that as much as it is scary it is also pretty darn amazing too! I often feel bad for Matt not being able to know what it feels like to grow this little man! but he feels it in a different way i guess... I know he deals with his own pregnancy issues, and of course none which include my crazy hormones I am sure! ;) I really hope I am enjoying this to the fullest cuz number 1 only comes once! And it is kinda like when you get married people say enjoy it so you don't look back and go man what was that whirlwind? I know it is nine months, but after the first three months of HELL it seems to fly SO fast!!!! It seems like yesterday i wasn't even showing. And now I feel like a barn!!! (belly pics coming soon) As far as overall weight it has been minimal but still feels like a TON! LOL :) Next week we get to see our little boy again! WOO HOO!!!! So pics of that will be next week as well! So stayed tuned!

YUCK!

All I can say is... HAVE TO VOMIT!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! NOT again! :(

26 week belly & silly hubby
