18 days?? Or maybe next week...please...next week...

So, our doctor's appointment last week didn't tell us too much. We have started the labor process, but we weren't fair enough along to set a date for when we are going to be "helped" along. We go back this Thursday to check again. It could still be next week...or the next...ugg. Stay tuned. Little Beebop and I are pretty ready to go!! My back is SUPER sore from holding up this little guy. I wish he would just get out and walk every now and then...

Here is our picture for this week.

That's all I have for now!

25 more days to go...maybe...

According to our due date, our bundle of joy has 25 days left. However, our bundle of joy may be coming (with some help) two weeks early. So, it is conceivable to say that we could have a little person in our lives in as little as 13 days! We have a doctors appointment this Friday which will hopefully give us a better idea of when to expect our little guy!

I finally have pictures of little Baby Joe Ewing! Joseph Henry Ewing, who was born October 4th and weighed in at 7 pounds 13 ounces, is as precious as his older brother. Congratulations Sarah and Matt!!

Rick is out of town on business this week. He is attending a Licensing Executive Society meeting and is having a ball learning new stuff! When he found out that he would be heading to this meeting in our 8th month, he arranged for a babysitter to come and stay with me...just in case. That babysitter (my daddy) and I have been doing lots of shopping and eating this week! I don't think my mom is ever going to let him come and play with me again! :) We are very fortunate that my dad, as an airline pilot, is able to work his schedule around us a little bit! Thanks Daddy!!

Here are our latest pictures. They are 35 and 36 weeks, respectively. I can't believe that we are already in the home stretch! This pregnancy has FLOWN by!! Yea!!

240 days down...40 to go!!

I realized today that we found out we were expecting when we were just 5 weeks pregnant and now...we have just over 5 weeks to go...craziness!

A very special delivery came this weekend! Joseph Henry Ewing was born on October 4 at 7:something in the morning (West Coast time). My BFF, Sarah called me at 5:30 Central time (3:30 her time) to tell me that her water had broken and that she and her husband, Matt were on their way to the hospital!! A very unfair 4 and a half hours later...including a whooping 20 or so minutes of pushing...Joe was born! When I get a picture from her, I will put it up here!

Tis the season for everyone to get sick...so the baby and I have been attempting to hold our breath. But then I realized...oxygen is pretty important to a growing fetus. So, I am taking my chances and breathing again. Everyone...GET WELL!!

We hit 33 weeks not so long ago. Here is our picture:

This past weekend was the Alabama v. Kentucky game. It was a doozie. I'm sure ole Nick had a lot to say to the boys in the locker room. But, alas, we did win the game. We are 6-0, we are still number 2 in the nation and we are...bowl eligible! Woohoo! :) We had some family join us for the game. My grandmother, Juanita; my Aunt Laurie and her husband Randall; and my cousin Karie and her sweet brand new baby girl Maerrick (aka Meri, Lulu, Peanut) all came up. Laurie and Randall went to the game with Rick and my dad and Grandmother, Karie, Lulu, mom and I stayed home. 85 degrees is pretty hot when you are nearly 8 months pregnant. So, we thought the comfort of our air conditioned living room was a great place to tune in to the game. Plus, mom is one of the sickies I mentioned earlier. She has been diagnosed with Pneumonia and spend Thursday night in the ER with a severely pulled muscle in her back from coughing. We're wondering if she has broken a rib as well. GET WELL MOM!!!

Here is a sweet shot of Little Lulu and her mommy at Newk's. The picture is dark because I didn't want to blind little Meri with the flash:

This weekend was also our fourth baby shower. This one was given by the ladies in our Wednesday night Bible study. It was very sweet of them to think of us! Here is a shot of a few of them:

And finally, we have our 34th week photo taken the morning of my shower. This time I got the Daddy in the shot!

We have a doctor's appointment this coming Thursday. After this one, we start going every week. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?! You go every week when you only have a month left...holy cow.
