biggest gainer

last night at dinner, nathan was talking with his parents about the biggest loser. he decided that over the next few months, we can have a biggest loser between the four of us. and here i am 22 weeks pregnant.. RUDE!

mom and dad!

my mom and dad flew in for the weekend, and we have had such a wonderful time! we've shopped, had meals with friends, hung out with the shermans and deatons and welchs, and grandma and grandpa have gotten lots of good time with the grandson :) we've taken a few pictures, but theyre all on mom's camera. ill post them as soon as i steal them!

not much else to report. the baby in my belly is moving like a champ, and owen is doing great! he has officially changed his sleep time to 7pm-7am, and im loving it! he still takes two good naps during the day. iiiiim not complaining!

i attended my friend, codi guthrie's, wedding this weekend and it was beautiful! incredible flowers, beautiful dresses, and even dinner menus made out of chocolate! doesnt get much better than that! her wedding was very fun and a joy to be a part of!

im off to bed, but i promise pics soon!

results are in!

ITS A BOY!

hm

see, look at me, two posts in two days! i should probably change my profile picture, huh? owen had changed just a tad since that pic..

speaking of the child, he is in his crib "sleeping" right now. i currently hear him singing on the monitor. he'll crash eventually, and i may too!

in the mean time, here are a few recent pics.

um, i have no idea why the font is looking weird, and i cant seem to change it. o well. my parents are coming to denton on friday and i cant wait! YAY! shopping with mom, dinner with the deatons, lots of fun stuff in the future!

boooo

for me. for being a horrible blogger. so, ive decided, im going to start making lots of little blog entries. some of my friends do it, and i enjoy getting quick updates on whats going on in their lives. that will take a lot of the stress off of me, worrying about finding the time to sit and write a long entry! these days id much rather be napping when i get a free minute :)

nathan and i are officially in denton, settled in, getting into a normal routine. nathan will be working for his dad until he gets into the subbing system. we'll just be here for 6 months, and its already going by quickly.

i have a doctors appt today, my 20 week check up! hopefully theyll do a sono to confirm that i have a little boy in my belly. if they say im having a girl, its going to be SO weird. im completely mentally prepared for a second boy!

and finally, i leave you with this-

nathan got a bass guitar that looks a lot like this for christmas. this, my friends, is why my husband disappears for hours upon end. :)

o my son...

it was silent in our house for about 5 minutes, which is never good. when i went to find owen, this is what he was doing... :)

hummer

you know your baby is growing up when he hums with you. i used to rock him to sleep for naps/bed time and hum songs to him, but now he just starts humming along! what a big boy i have. a 1 year old! CAAARAZY!

i just went to target today and bought his big boy carseat. he is going to LOVE driving in it! he gets to face forward and be by the window. its a super nice carseat that will last until he doesnt need one anymore. thanks aunt marla, aunt margie, and nana and pop for the birthday $ to buy one! its fabulous! owen is more excited about the big box that it came in than the actual seat. im telling ya, this kid doesnt need toys. he needs boxes and spoons to play with.

nana and pop came this weekend. they helped us pack up a big trailer and drove it back to texas. 9 more days and ill be flying to texas too. i cant believe its getting so close! definitely bittersweet, but we are excited. here are a few pics from the weekend-




i love the Texas vs Texas Tech picture! who knows where this kiddo will end up going to school. uh oh, hes waking up from his nap...
