What we have been up to....

Well, since I don't do much these days I don't have much to report.
I did get to make my first outing to the grocery store last weekend.
Who knew that grocery shopping would become the highlight of my weekend.
This is how it worked:

Cy was so embarrassed and acted like he didn't even know me!! Every time I put the cart in reverse, it would start beeping.  I have to admit it was kinda embarrassing.  But, let me tell you, these carts have some power when you first get going!! By the end of the trip it was putting along and I was lucky to make it back to the charging station.

And--Cole is really into tents these days.  This weekend Cy got a big blanket and made him a tent in the den.  He was so proud!

Just for the record--I am now 31 weeks and 5 days pregnant!  The little guy is moving around like crazy!  

It is fun to feel him move, but also makes me worried sometimes.  Last time I didn't make it this far in my pregnancy, so I don't know what is "normal" or how it feels to have a 4 lb. baby moving inside.  The doctor monitored me for contractions this morning.  He assured me that my contractions are Braxton Hicks.  Also, some of what I am feeling is just normal movement and nothing to be alarmed about.

We are so thankful for each day of this pregnancy and we are praying that this sweet baby won't be born until April.

Cole's First Trip to the Lease!

Last weekend Cy took Cole to his lease in South Texas!  It was their first father/son hunting trip!
They went with 2 other dads and their sons.  So fun and I see lots of these trips in our future.
I was so excited for them to get out of town and have some fun.
Their trip started out a little rocky since the roads were icy and dangerous on Friday morning.
They left and got to Fulshear, only to turn around and come back.  After lunch and watching the news for hours, they decided to leave again.  They were able to make it without any problems.
I missed them like crazy and tried my best not to call, text or email every hour.
Cy was very good about sending me pictures to keep me posted on how things were going.
He did tell me that this was a guy's trip and he wasn't going to tell me every detail!!  He did admit that none of the kids had a bath the whole time they were gone!!

My dad was also out of town for the weekend.  So, my mom and I had a nice quiet weekend at home.
Not too much to report-just lots of Words with Friends.  We are total dorks.

I had an appt with my high risk doctor, Dr. Kirshon, today.
We got a great report!  Baby Boy is growing and weighs 3 lbs 2 oz.  My cerclage is holding and I am not dilated or effaced at all.  The bed rest is working.  Dr. Kirshon was very encouraged and said he is 95% sure that I will make it to at least 37 weeks.  Praise the Lord.  We are so thankful for a healthy pregnancy and baby.  Please keep us in your prayers.

Is this the cutest picture ever??

Love the outfit! Trying to convince Cole that it is cool to wear sunglasses and ear plugs!

Ready to go, Papa!

No News is Good News!

So, I don't have much to write about today.  I am really trying to keep up with this blog, so I thought I would just add some random thoughts.
-I am 28 weeks and 4 days pregnant today! I am so thankful for each day that this little guy continues to grow and develop in my womb.
-I ordered some Big Brother, Little Brother shirts yesterday.
-Cole's vocabulary is growing every day.  He now has learned that my other name is Allison, Papa's other name is Cy, Deana's other name is Donna and Duke's other name is Norman.  It is hilarious!!
-I love to listen to the conversations that he has with himself when he wakes up in the mornings.  He usually talks about the dogs and horses and calls them by slapping his leg and saying "Here, Come" or whistling.
-The weather is super cold and yucky here--at least that is what I hear--so it is kinda nice to stay inside all day.
-I am obsessed with Words with Friends.  It is a great way to pass my time and makes me feel like I am using my mind some too.
