update on baby boy...

He's growing and growing and kicking and kicking! I just had to share this picture...

I got these shoes yesterday at Holiday Happenings in Lubbock. I just couldn't pass them up! Every little boy needs some tennis shoes!

Still no name. I think he's going to be called 'baby boy ray' his entire life! I also got this yesterday...maybe it'll help.


The next appointment is Dec. 3rd.
For this child, I have prayed.....

when in doubt--take a nap!

So I'm sitting here typing with 3 less fingers on my right hand. Yeah.

Kirby and I were having a lazy Sunday morning, about to take a morning nap (yes, a morning nap!) when I decided to get up and actually do something. (Then I could take my afternoon nap.) So, I put the sheets in the washer, picked up some things, etc. I then decided to wrap a few Christmas gifts, so I went back there to look at everything. (yes, my tree is up and it needs something under it) This one way cute glass jar that I had done some things on 'was' a gift I was going to wrap. The lid wasn't on right, so I proceeded to try to get it on right. Little did I know my muscles were going to come bulging out! I guess I pushed a little too hard. The jar crumbled and broke into a million pieces....cutting 3 of my fingers right off. Ok, not all the way off, but it felt like it. Ok, so they were little gashes, but they wouldn't stop bleeding and throbbing! My sweet husband is off parading around Oklahoma (watching Tech get their hineys kicked), so I called the in-laws. They came rushing over and they couldn't get it to stop bleeding either. We decided to go to the ER, where I had a very expensive super glue job done! Now, I can't get my right hand wet for a week! How is a girl supposed to wash her hair or put mascara on with her left hand!?!?!

the once way cute "joy to the world" jar...

another piece of it that landed on the floor...

my nearly cut off fingers...


When in doubt, leave the laundry, leave the gift wrapping and just take a nap!

blue or pink!?!?!

This day could not have come soon enough! We were both so anxious all day long. It was so surreal laying there watching this baby move and wave to us! And then there it was....HE was proud to show off that HE is a HE! It was so funny!

Here are a few pictures from today....
I am a boy!

This is the leg that kicks mom all the time!

so precious all smushed up!

And the best part of the whole day was that everything looks healthy! Both the sonogram doctor and my doctor said that everything looked great. He is growing about a week ahead of time, so they might move the due date up one week. We got to see the four chambers of the heart, the kidneys, the spine, the brain, etc. It was awesome...there are no words to explain it other than awesome!
