Blog crazy!

Ok, I admit I haven't been very good lately about keeping the blog up to date! The last three days I have gone bloggin' crazy so don't miss out on any of them! Keep scrolling and don't forget those comments. We love to get them.

Wake Up!

Yesterday morning Zach and I over slept our alarm and Hunter saved both of us by waking me up. We both rushed to get ready and get out of the house. Later that day while Zach was at work he had his feet up by his desk. A guy that shares his office with Zach looked over at him a little confused and asked Zach, "Dude, are you wearing two different boots?" To Zach's amazement he looked down at his boots and realized that he grabbed two different pairs of shoes! The tread on the bottom of both are different and Rob was delighted to let him know.

Flippitee Floppin'

Two nights ago I was exhausted so I decided to go to bed a bit earlier than normal. Zach came to tuck me in and as soon as I got situated Hunter decided that was when he was going to show off for Dad. Zach watched in amazement at my belly jumping up and down. As soon as he put his hands on my belly Hunter knew it was Dad and he flipped again! We are still trying to catch him on video but he knows when I look at him. As soon as I start to watch my belly he'll stop and wait for me to look away to finally make his move.

Dr. Appt.

We had another check up on Monday with our Doc'. He said that everything was looking great and that Hunter is an average size, WOOHOO! :) We were able to get another ultra sound but sorry, no pictures this time. It seems as though that every time Hunter hears our doctors voice he stops moving and decides to sleep! What a little stink bug! So every US that we have had he just chill's and lays there. No flipping, no flopping, not even a wave of the hand. I am determined to catch him at least yawning one of these times! Our next appointment I will try and get actual pictures so we can show him off again. Also, our hospital out here just got the 3-D or 4-D US machines and they are just looking for guinea pigs to practice on. I am so that person for them! :) I will let you know if I get anywhere with that and hopefully I do! Then I can show off what his face will look like! It's crazy the pictures that those machines can get. We both just can't wait to see those fat little cheeks!

Missy's Bath

This was too cute not to blog about! Missy absolutely HATES bath time and it was that time again. She ran, she hid, we chased and Missy was thrown into the bath. Zach and I always have the debate of the bath water being to hot so we bought a rubber ducky that tells you if the water is too hot. Really it's Hunter's bath toy but Missy was just making sure it works, you know being a good big sister. :) I think I am going to have to her her own bath toys to make it a little bit more enticing for her.

Week 28 Belly Shot

Here it is as promised. It's not the greatest picture of myself by far but it is definitely in popular demand!(Momma!) My ever growing belly has developed a mind of its own!

Prayer Request

If you all could say an extra prayer for my back I would REALLY appreciate it. My back as you all know has always given me problems but now with a big 'ol belly to throw it off it's been acting up A LOT! It really doesn't help that I work 8 hours a day on my feet and with ten one year olds, they aren't the lightest little boogers! Not only is my back hurting my beautiful son has decided to sit/lay/what have you on my sciatic nerve. This leads to shooting pain from my hip area down my leg. The earliest I could get into the "chiropractor" out here is February 10th which isn't soon enough. I say "chiropractor" lucratively because our hospital facility doesn't have an actual chiropractor, we have a women that does body manipulations. I am really starting to wonder what she can do for me but at this point I don't care! I just want some of the pressure relieved. I really don't want to overdo anything with Hunter coming so soon. I hear back labor can be pretty painful. I am so thankful I can put this prayer request out there to all of you. I know He can do all things so my trust is in Him. Thank you all again!!!

The Home Stretch!

Today marks our third and final trimester! We are so excited to embark on the last three months of this amazing, and extremely easy might I add, pregnancy. Hunter has been such a great little boy for his mommy let's hope he continues to be kind to my belly! :) We are having our "end of trimester two" pictures done on Saturday and I can't wait to get them up and share how much my belly has changed! I'll get a little snapshot up tomorrow for the meantime. Everything is almost ready for our little guy to come home. We just need to put the room together and buy the rest of the necessities for him. Zach continually asks me to "give him his baby already!" so I know he is anxious as well. He has been such a great help during this. I really appreciate you honey and I love you so much! God bless you!

Flashlight fun!

The other week I read that Hunter's eyes were opening and if you put a flashlight up to your belly he would respond to the light. Respond indeed! Zach got a key chain flashlight in his stocking and we right away opened it and tested out our little man. Hunter went wild! Zach would move the light from one side of my belly to another and Hunter would follow it and kick it every time. It was so much fun and so amazing to play with him already! Now I am being chased by Zach and a key chain Mag-lite every chance he gets. We will try and video it so we can share it with all.

Christmas and New Year's

Happy New Year everyone! We hope that you all brought in your new year with a bang! We were able to spend it with the Bell's and played Taboo until the clock turned over into 2009. I realized that I hadn't posted anything in quite a while! My apologies. Our Christmas was full of adventure, good food, and love. We woke up to another beautiful cold morning put on our robes and went downstairs to see what Santa had left under the tree. Missy was the most excited I think. She opened her stocking first, Santa had left her A LOT, all on her own and jumped right into killing her first toy. Her new chicken and new frog have both gone to toy heaven, really it was within the first 20 minutes of playing they had passed on, however she still loves the froggie even though it doesn't croak anymore (no pun intended). Miss' went on to open her gigantic bag of treats the big man left her and right away got to pick out her first one. Zach and I opened our gifts from each other and are so thankful to everyone for them! We, I really mean I, opened my brand new pots and pans set from Zach and we cooked a delightful Christmas breakfast. I am pretty sure that Zach still had two different pairs of shoes on while we were cooking, he was so excited about them both when he opened them he had to put one of each on (gotta love him!).

We then went over to the Bell's in the afternoon and had some incredible food and wonderful fellowship. After the Bell's house we headed over to some other friends house for yet another great meal and a hilarious game of Taboo. After our second meal I thought Hunter was in a turkey and ham coma because he slept for so long! We got home and realized we still had another Christmas party to make an appearance at. We walked over and said hello and spread some cheer! When we finally got home after all of the fun we were all pooped! It was definitely a fun Christmas and we are hoping to spend the next one with all of you.

We pray your New Year is full of blessings and love! We can't wait to start ours and finish getting ready for our little Hunter to come! Happy New Year!
