It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!


Mark did a great job at installing the lights.Over this Thanksgiving weekend, Mark had a few extra day off of work so we decided that we should put up our Christmas decorations before Wesley arrives. We had fun deciding where to place the Christmas decorations and the tree; next year it will be more fun with the help of Welsey!

35 weeks dr appointment


We only have one month to go!!! Mark and I went to the doctor today for our first weekly check-up. Baby Wesley is measuring right for his age. We thought that we would go to the dr this week and the dr would say that Wesley was still high and not dilated, but we received an eye opener. The doctor told us that I am measuring at 2 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced. Baby Wesley was very low and it seemed to surprise the doc. We are packing our bags and getting everything finalized. Keep watching the blog for updates.

Finished room

Wesley's room is finally finished!!! Mark and I have worked on it for several months.




We are all ready for baby Wesley's arrival. His carseat is installed in the car, his bag is packed and all his clothes are washed and ready. Stay tuned for more information.

Happy Halloween

After Hurricane Ike Mark went fly fishing everyday and Max went along a few times. He decided that he wanted to be a fly fisherman for this Halloween. Mark and I did not dress up this Halloween, we stayed home and passed out candy to all the little trick-or-treaters. This time next year we will have Wesley to dress up and take to a fall festival.
Max was watching tv which is what he likes to do now.
4 minutes later he was ready for the hat to come off of his head.

Assembling baby items

We received our last big registery gifts at Mark's work baby shower (pictures to come). We decided to assemble the pack n play one night when Mark got home from work. This took a lot longer than I anticipated (directions are the key when assembling something). Mark decided that he did not need the directions because this was going to be very easy. Well 30 minutes later I was getting worried because this is where Wesley is going to sleep the first month or so of his life and I needed to make sure it was assembled correctly. After reading the instructions we finished putting it together and rolled it into the bedroom.
Yea, step 1: get out directions. The next night Mark, Max and I decided to put the swing together. We read the instruction step by step and the swing was put together in no time! Max decided to help Mark put the seat cover on.


This is a very cool swing, not only does it swing three different ways but you can hook your ipod up to the swing and the baby can listen to music. Mark decided to try this out, so he hooked the ipod up and began to find music for Wesley. Mark searched through the ipod and found music that I don't think Wesley would find very soothing, but we had a good time playing with it.

Finishing touches

Mark and I were in Midland for the baby shower and we found a quote to stencil on Wesley's wall. Mark decided that he was ready to tackle this task and we found that it was very easy to do.
Well if Katie knew the difference between a"u" and a "n" she would not have to work hard to get the letter off.! oops



Max was exhausted after working a few hours on the wall. It was all worth it in the end.

Houston Baby Shower








Emily, Becky and Lauren hosted a baby shower for Mark and I in Houston a few weeks ago. We had yummy breakfast food to snack on. It was nice getting to see our friends and family. Katie's mom and dad came down to visit that weekend as well. During the shower Mark and Katie's dad went and played golf. We are very thankful that we have good friends and family. Thanks Emily, Becky and Lauren for hosting such a fun and cute party.

33 week sonogram cont...

Okay we finally got our computer back!! Here are a few more pictures of baby Wesley. Wesley cooperated with the tech during the first few minutes of his photoshot and looked directly at her. This is a picture of his face.

Here is a picture of Wesley's foot pushing up against, okay maybe not pushing, but kicking my side.


We found out that Welsey does have hair, yea!! So we will have to see if he has blonde or brown hair.





Here is a video of Wesley opening and closing his mouth. He must be hungry.
