Weeks 28 and 29
28 Weeks
29 Weeks
A quick update:
We’re narrowing down the living situation and may have found the right place. We’ll know by next week, I’m sure.
Nursery projects are still underway and are not yet to the picture stage. Coming soon!
James just got hired at Grainger and he will be working there along with UPS. Praise God! We are so happy for this opportunity!

Well, thankfully I got over my cold and am now feeling much better. I’m planning on posting about the nursery soon…I’ll show you the fabric etc for the bedding b/c we’re making it (and when I saw “we” I really mean my mom but I’m going to try to help, does that count?) I’ve also started on a little art project for the wall. Funny thing is…we don’t know exactly WHERE his nursery will be! We’re going to be looking at places this next week and hopefully find something and then I’ve got some MAJOR nesting to do and with a bit of a time crunch! However, I’m sure that we can get it all done. This is one of the HUGE benefits of living near family…lots and lots of help! So-more on that to come.
Weeks 24 and 25 (and year 29…again)
24 Weeks
25 Weeks
I’m feeling like I’ve really grown in the past couple of weeks. Parker is constantly moving and now when I’m laying in bed sometimes I can actually WATCH him moving in my belly. It is an amazing (and rather funny) thing to see!
Texas was fabulous…as it always is but it was nice to come back home to cooler weather (even though it was pretty mild by Texas standards). I did a lot of driving and by the end of the trip I was just about ready to surrender my license! Speaking of which-I have to go get my Arkansas license ASAP so I can vote come November! That’s on my to-do list for tomorrow.
And, not only does today mark week 25 but it is also my 29th birthday! Well, I had a 29th last year so technically I guess that it isn’t correct to tell you that but…”it’s my birthday and I’ll LIE if I want to!” 😀 In all reality, it’s hard to believe I’m 30. Time just flies by the older you get, doesn’t it? I’m going to have to lay down the law with Baby Parker-he is NOT allowed to grow up!!! Good luck with that one, I know.
23 Weeks and a Few Words
23 Weeks
Okay, okay…I know I’ve been bad. I haven’t been writing but simply posting the pics. What can I say? It’s easier!!! Actually, the reason behind the lack of writing is just that I’ve been so tired! I am thoroughly enjoying being pregnant but it is just utterly exhausting for me. I’ve been waiting (and waiting and waiting) on my endocrinologist’s office in Dallas to send some lab sheets to check my growth hormone level. I have a feeling it’s low and that is probably what is contributing to the fatigue. Most women get a renewed sense of energy during the 2nd trimester but I haven’t at all. Parker may just be “using up” all of my growth hormone-we’ll find out if the office would ever send me the paperwork to get my blood drawn! I’ve only called them several hundred times about it. Ugh.
Actually on Monday I’m headed to Dallas anyway so I’ll probably just run by the place. I’m going to be in Allen for a couple of days catching up with friends and then I’m taking a trip with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law. We’re going to Bay City (down by Houston) to visit some family and just spend some quality time together. It should be a blast! I’m excited to see everyone in Allen and Bay City but I’ll be missing James something fierce!
So, there’s a very brief update. When I’m this tired I am really just uninspired to write anything. But…at least I did something, huh?!?

It’s hard to believe that we’re already over half-way through the pregnancy! That said…I am still getting impatient for little Parker’s arrival! Everything is going great and Parker is now moving around like a wild man! He loves to wake me in the early morning while doing some kickboxing! I love feeling him move and kick-it’s such a strange and wonderful sensation. I’m still really tired but other than that I feel wonderful. Being pregnant is simply amazing!!!
Oh. My. Word.
