10 weeks

Where is the time going?!? Spencer is already 10 weeks old. I look at pictures of his first weeks and wonder if I still have the same baby! He changes everyday! This past week he started using his hands (see video)



We thought the first time was a coincidence, but he was hitting those animals for about 30 minutes. It was really cool to see him figure it out.

He has also been sleeping through the night for a week straight and seems to really like his crib. He is smiling, laughing cooing and squeeling a ton! He loves the morning time. We've been having a little trouble at night with him being fussy, but seems like a lot of babies have that same issue in the earlier months of life. We took him to the doctor this past week and he weighs 13.2 and is 24 inches long. Here are some pics from the week

Sushi night, mommy really missed this during those looooooong 9 months! ;)

Life back on the East Coast

Well, we have been home for almost a month now...time is flying by! We have settled in nice and I think Spencer really likes his new home! Other than a one week trip to New Mexico, Clayton has been here with us and has had a pretty undemanding work schedule. We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, it couldn't have been any better. I am so thankful for my family and the time God has provided for us all to be together.

Here are some recent pics.







Spencer is growing so fast, he weighed 12.5 at the doctor two weeks ago! Can't wait to see where he is at when we go for his next appointment. He has grown out all of his newborn clothes and some of his 0-3. I can't believe it. He is also holding his head up so well and smiling like crazy. I love when he smiles, it's so precious. Bath time and gliding are his favorite things to do, we always get a smile out of him in the bath.
my favorite bath time pic :)


We will be traveling back to Texas on the 15th for Haley and Billy's big day and for Christmas! We hope everyone is doing great and can't wait to see you all back in TX very soon! Love to all

Baby Spencer is here!

We have been so blessed with this precious baby boy! Thank you for all the prayers and support through this special time! Spencer and I will be flying home to Virginia to see Daddy this Saturday. We sure will miss Texas and all our family and friends but cannot wait to be back home!

38 weeks

Mom and I went to my 38 week appointment today. Midwife says everything looks good and that I am almost 1 cm dialated and 25% effaced. Not much but atleast it's a little progress! I go back next week for another check up. Clayton will be here on Saturday afternoon! I am pretty excited I get to keep him for a while, 3 weeks! :-) :-) :-) We haven't spent that much time together in a longgggg time!!!

38 weeks 3 days

37 weeks!

I am officially FULL TERM! 37 weeks. This makes me really excited, only 20 more days until due date!

Clayton, Billy and Haley were all in town this past weekend, it was a great weekend! We ate some amazing BBQ & watched football. Clayton and I went and got a 3d scan of Smitty thanks to H&B! He hid his face the whole time so we had to leave and come back. It's not really his fault, he is so squished in there you can't blame him for not turning over and smiling for the camera. haha! When we came back I drank some cold OJ and he turned just in time for us to be able to see his face. Here are a couple of the pics we got. Looks like he's got some cheeks on him!





I have our bags packed and ready to go! Hopefully it will be sooner than later.

Hope everyone is well.

Baby Shower Weekend!

This past weekend was so much fun....I had two awesome baby showers and received some wonderful gifts for little Smitty. I am so thankful to everyone who was a part of this weekend and helped make it such a fun and memorable time! We truly cannot thank you enough!

Here are some pics from the Showers..


















................................................................................................

Today is 36 weeks. Doctor says everything is looking great and smitty is looking like a good size baby! :-/ Hope that means he will come sooner than later???? ;-)

Clayton is coming in town this Friday! Billy and Haley will also be coming, it should be a really fun weekend! As for this week, I am organizing gifts, getting my hospital bag ready! :-) Can't wait for the big day to arrive!! Love to all!

Weekend in Houston

I got back from Houston on Sunday evening. It was so good to see my sis and Billy....and of course little Tripp was SO adorable and funny!
He is such a cute little guy.








He is so short that he can stand up under Owen without touching him. LOL

Anyway, Houston was a lot of fun, we went swimming, found Haley's bridesmaid dresses, went to Kristi's going away party and just hung out and had a good time! I don't think I'll be making it back down there anytime soon but Hay is coming to Pville soon so I'm happy about that!

Clayton is also going to come in town soon! We didn't think he was going to make it back for another trip before baby comes but thankfully he is!! I miss him so much.

As for now, I have 34 days until my due date and I am taking it easy and trying to get organized and get my bags packed for the hospital. I feel so unprepared! :-/ I know everything will work out, just getting nervous!!!!

Love to all!
