Movement

This weekend I've been feeling Carson move around a lot more. I sat on the couch and lifted my shirt over my belly and just watched it. It's pretty funny seeing it move every time he kicks. It also makes me feel better feeling him move around. I have my next doctors appointment Dec. 4th. We'll see what the doctor has to say. He says I'm measuring a little bigger than my weeks. At my ultrasound they said the baby is measuring about a week earlier than my due date. So I'm pretty sure Carson will be coming earlier than Feb. 16th. I also took my glucose test and they said my results are normal. :) So I was very happy to hear that. Things are going pretty good and I'm just excited for Carson to be here.

Doctor Visits

Here is a pic of our little Carson at 26 weeks. He looks upset. I think we woke him up. He gave us a wave and a thumbs up during the ultrasound which was cute.

Here is a profile pic of Carson.

Here is Carson and his two feet. He was in the middle of doing kicks.

Before going for the ultrasound today, I had to get the glucose test. I was expecting a little drink, but it was in a water bottle. It wasn't that bad, but not great. We had to wait an hour after drinking it for them to draw some blood. The lady that drew my blood had no clue what she was doing. She had to wiggle the needle in me to finally get the blood flowing. So now we're waiting to see what the results are.

Oh yea...Travis finally felt baby Carson kick. He said it feels like if I just did a hiccup. :)

Family

Here I am at Target. Travis and I went to visit my family out on the west side. I had my mom and sister come with me to look for baby stuff. Since this is my first and both of them have experience, I needed their expertise. I'm super glad that they came along. They showed me a lot of stuff I wouldn't have known on my own.


After church, we all went to Arby's for lunch. Here I am with my two neices. It's always fun seeing them.


Here I am with all 3 of them. Yesterday, we got to watch my nephew have his first practice fo t-ball. He was super at it. It was really cute watching him. He was very serious about it and did a great job.

The last two pics are of us before leaving to go back home. Here you can see my belly! I know some of you have been asking for belly pics. This is in front of my parents house. My nephew decided to join us in the other picture. He wanted to be near his cousin Carson. :)

Craziness in our neighborhood

So while at school today, I found out that craziness is happening in our neighborhood. Here is what I found out on the abc15news:

Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies have arrested three people involved in an East Valley pursuit.They are now searching for at least one other suspect in a Queen Creek neighborhood near Schnepf and Combs roads.Sheriff's office officials say one deputy has been injured as a result of the situation, however the deputies injuries are unknown at this time. They also say at least one school is on lockdown in the area, Jay O. Combs Middle School.It's unclear what sparked the pursuit. Air15 video showed the arrest of one man, caught hiding between two homes.Deputies continued the search of nearby homes and yards in the area before taking two other suspects into custody.

CRAZINESS! I didn't think anything like this would be happening in our neighborhood. When driving home in our neighborhood, I saw a lot of police cars and news people. I'm glad it didn't happen on our street. I'm just glad that they caught the people.

Carson's Room

After church today, Travis and I went to look for what bedding we want for Carson's room. We thought we would go with a sports theme, but didn't really like any that we saw. Then Travis spotted this Jungle bedding. We both like it and now I'm excited to get Carson's room going. Travis is almost done with the hallway, so he'll be getting to Carson's room soon. Here is a picture of the bedding. Isn't it cute! Once Carson's room is all done, I'll post what is looks like; but this will have to do for now.

Weekend Visit from Mom and Dad

My parents came down to our house to visit Travis and me. It was very nice to have them stay at our house. While with us they helped us with getting some things from Lowes. Travis and I don't have a truck, so it was nice that my parents have one for us to use. We got a grill and some piping stuff for Travis to set up a sprinkler system in our backyard. While the guys loaded the truck, my mom and I decorated the back with red flags. I think we went overboard! :) But we had fun doing it. We wanted to make sure everyone could see the pipes sticking out so that no one followed to closely. I think it worked.

Everyone, but I, chipped in and unloaded the truck. I took the pictures.
Here is Travis getting the grill out of the truck bed. My mom is back there trying to help Travis.
Just a little bit to go and we are finished unloading the truck.

Here is our lovely grill. I'm super excited to start grilling! I'd rather grill instead of cooking on the stove. :) Now that the weather is getting a little bit cooler, it will be nice to be outside grilling too.

The following day, we all decided to make their drive a little shorter by going to eat lunch and seeing a movie. That way some of the driving time was already shorten by 30 minutes. Travis and I have to drive about 30 minutes to go to a movie theater. So we went to TGIFridays. Here is my mom and dad...aren't they cute together. :)

Here is Travis and I on the other side of the booth. After lunch we went and saw Eagle Eye. That was a pretty good movie. After the movie we bid farewell to my parents. We look forward to another visit from them. My mom took some pictures of Travis blowing out his birthday candles, so I'll have to post those when my mom sends them to me.

It's a boy!!!

So we went for the ultrasound visit today and found out that we're having a boy! I was excited all day waiting for the appointment to come. I haven't told my students yet and I'm not sure how much longer I can go without saying anything.

Here is a profile shot of Carson.

We went out for dinner at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. We hadn't been there in SO long. It was yummy! After dinner we stopped by Target to get some clothes...now that we know we have a boy to shop for. Since we found out we're having a boy, I saw this onsie and had to get it. I can just picture Carson in it. He is going to be a cutie pie. I'm SO EXCITED! I'm halfway there and can't wait to hold him in my arms.
