The Countdown Begins

We had our 28-week appointment last week. Rock is cruising along just fine and boy is he growing! He weighed 2 lbs. 11 oz. He’s still sitting comfortably in a breach position, which explains the movements I feel. His butt is sitting on my bladder and that isn’t always so pleasant. And I always feel such strong kicks and jabs over on the sides of my belly. I’m constantly amazed by how much this baby moves, and by how strong some of those movements are. He’s much different than Landon was in the womb. Rock was moving so much that he literally bumped the sonogram lady’s hand off course a few times.
They did a 4D sonogram, which Bo and I weren’t expecting. She explained that this is the perfect time for one and he was in a good position. He has his hand in front of his face in 1 of the pictures. I know it’s probably hard for you guys to tell, but Bo and I agree that this baby looks just like his daddy! Since Landon is SO much like me, we just knew this one had to be Bo’s little clone. I guess we’ll see for sure soon enough!
Anyway, all is going well. I feel great and have managed on just a couple hours of sleep each night for the last couple of months. I don’t think that’s going to change, but I’m not so worried about it anymore. I’ll certainly be ready for baby Rock’s hours when he arrives.
And, as promised, I've included a few shots of the belly at 29 weeks. Enjoy!

29 weeks down.....11 to go!

The 2010/2011 School Year

This year Bo was off, so he had First Day duties. I was a little saddened to not be there, but knew it was for the best. I can be a bit emotional these days. Landon is in the 3's class this year, which means a different section of the building and new teachers. Landon was an absolute champ! He walked right in with no hesitation, and simply looked back at Dad and said "bye." Ms. Carol said he had a wonderful day. They talked about the letter A, the number 1, yellow, and the shape for the day was a circle. I'm excited that they're working on letters and numbers. He recognizes all the letters and most numbers, but we're working on writing them. Bo and I are hopeful for another good year at school!

On another note, I know I need to post some profile pictures to show Rock's growth. I've been very hesitant with pictures this time around. Although my husband adamantly disagrees, pregnancy hasn't been too kind to my body. I feel HUGE! However, I will post some pictures, mostly to please my most wonderful grandmother. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, which will include glucose testing and a sonogram. So, I'll get new pictures of baby Rock and will post those, along with a belly picture or 2.

Growing into the backpack!

A reminder of momma's love goes with him to school!


He was excited to wear his new Fort Worth Stockyards shirt that Mimi and Grandpa gave him.
