Loving my Little Boy

How does one person get so lucky in life? I have no idea how it can happen, but I seriously feel so lucky! Gavin is going to come into this world with so many amazing people surrounding him. I just hope he realizes how much he is already loved by these people!

We had our first baby shower yesterday, and the time and effort put into it made me so excited! My sisters, Lyndsie, Laura, Meg and Liz made it so nice and put a lot of thought into the day! Gavin got so much great stuff, even though he doesn't know he needs it! There were so many cute outfits, lots of bath stuff and bottles, and so much comfy, cuddly stuff that I don't think I"ll ever quit wrapping him up in them and snuggling! Thank you to everyone who was there, b/c you made it very special for Eric, Gavin and I!

Shower sign! So cute

My awesome wreath that Christina Baker made

Kristi, Karen and Jhett (who was so happy & precious) We have big plans for Jhett and Gavin to be partners in crime at the lake...and I guess Reagan can hang out too!

So much STUFF!

Dana is great at presentation!

Great Grandma Rose and I before the shower! We missed you Rose!

Now I have to get back to organizing Gavin's room! Lots to do!

A few Maternity pics

Amy wanted to test out some maternity pictures this past week! We only got a few good ones b/c we had "bad lighting." Those were Amy's words, not mine! Here are a few cute ones that we got. We plan to do a few more, so I hope she's happier with the next ones. For now, here's Gavin and I at 32 weeks!

Speaking of 32 weeks, I am now officially in the home stretch! I start going to see Dr. Kallenberger every 2 weeks from here on out, until 36, then I go once a week. Gavin is doing great, and definitely growing! His kicks are getting stronger, and sometimes he knocks whatever Ive set on my stomach all the way OFF! It's pretty funny, and when Eric sees it, he cracks up at me! Gavin is definitely taking all my energy from me, but somehow I balance that out with some insane cleaning and organizing. If I dont sit down, I could go for hours of cleaning and organizing. But once I hit the couch for a rest, Im DONE! Eric has to move the coffee table close to me so I can reach my chocolate milk without moving!! Oh and by the way, I drink a chocolate milk a day...yes that's correct! It's amazing, and Eric makes it the BEST! At least Im giving Gavin tons of Calcium...we'll just forget about the chocolate part!

More Football Fun

I guess I should say we've been lucky this year, no 100 degree games. But I still think 90 degrees is a little much for me and Gavin! We are powering through though, and it's because we love OU Football so much! We've had 3 home games in a row, so I feel like our entire week revolves around recovering from last week, preparing for this weekend, and then Saturday game day again. It's a blast, but Im looking forward to a weekend of being COOL!

The boys are ready for the Florida State Game!

Sister pic at the tailgate! We don't take enough of these

My favorite person to tailgate with...we're on the same level!

Go Sooners!

So happy with my personal fan

Hailey and her new sunnies! She's ready to "see the Sooners!"

Waiting to get on the elevator!

Ryan wanted us to have a family pic too!

Oh there we are!

I was so excited for the OU/Air Force game, b/c I LOVE flyovers! They had the most amazing flyover of F-15s before the game, and it gave me chills! Gavin you have already experienced your first FLYOVER! Wow! Sadly, we didn't make it much further than the beginning of the game. I was so hot and sweaty, and the humidity was killing me. So I decided that it would be smarter of us to go home and watch the game so I could cool off. I wouldn't wanna upset Gavin again. :)

We're 3-0, let's keep it going Sooners!

Fall is here! (at least in my mind)

Yay for Football! This is absolutely the best time of the year! I love Fall...and I think my true appreciation for Fall comes from my Mom! She makes us stop and take time to watch the trees change, and she loves to decorate for fall!

I love the pretty leaves, and they should start changing soon!

I love that Thanksgiving is coming up, and we can start making delicious things like Pumpkin Cheesecake Rolls, and Sweet potatoes, and Pumpkin Bread...yummy!



Last weekend, Sept 4th, was the first OU Football game! We played Utah State and of course we won. Overall, the Sooners didn't look that great, but at least they won. The weather was pretty perfect, low 90s at the start of the game. I was pumped about the weather cooperating for me and Gavin. I get so hot and so uncomfortable, and I wouldn't have made it very long if we weren't in the shade.

All the girls at the tailgating. We missed Amy this week, and where was Kristi?

30 weeks!

I took this picture about a week ago, right around 30 weeks. I put on my clothes and decided that I literally have a bowling ball in my tummy! More than anything, it just made me laugh b/c Im sooo not used to seeing my side profile like this! I know that there is more growing to come though, so Im prepared!

Clothes are becoming a bit of an ordeal, and I have mini, depressing fashion shows every morning trying to find something that fits and doesn't accentuate anything negative! Im just ready for winter so that I can wear tights every day, which are way more comfy than any of my capris.



I am soooo looking forward to this weekend, when we have my first of two baby showers for Gavin. Im ready to organize his room and really get things going in there! Ive ordered some really cute stuff for the walls, and very soon I plan to update everyone on the room. In the mean time, I just walk in his room all the time and think about how much our lives are about to change! I can't wait for there to be a lil baby boy making noise in our house and messing up the place! But maybe not messing it up too much since I'm kind of a clean freak!

Fair warning Gavin: "You WILL have chores and your room WILL be clean every day before you get to play outside!" (There, that was my best shot at being a disciplinary)

We have another Drs appt this week, and I think this will be my last time to go 4 weeks in between appts. It's crazy how fast this time is flying! Gavin you will be here in just a few short months!
