Layton's baby shower

My dear friends Karla, Christy (my sister), Jenny, Jennifer, Sandy and Michele threw me a sweet baby shower a few weekends ago for Layton. I had lots of fun and got some wonderful gifts for Layton. It is amazing to me how many things you need to have a baby. Layton's room was pretty much empty except for decortations when everyone got there and when they left his room was full. What a blessing!!! Of course I am so proud of all of his new Texas Tech gear...thank you Susan and Leslie!! Matt also sent an outfit to the shower to show his love for the Dallas Cowboys...it was a really cute little outfit and had LAYTON's name on the back of the outfit. I know that Matt can't wait to watch football with his little boy. Layton already has so many little sports outfits it is kinda funny.

Here is a picture of the cute cake....so yummy I might add.

The food was all so yummy and all of the girls worked so hard on everything....what sweet friends that I have. Thanks to everyone that came to the shower and showered us with gifts...Matt and I feel so blessed. We can't wait to meet our little boy and share him with all of you.

Pictures of Layton

Well friends I am still behind on my blogging...I just can't seem to get caught up! Working and being tired and pregnant leave me wanting to just sit and do nothing at the end of the day. I did want to show you 2 new pictures of Layton. I am 29 almost 30 weeks pregnant and I feel every bit of it. Everyone keeps telling me oh just wait...so I am waiting for it to get really uncomfortable but it is not a walk in the park right now either:) Here are two 4-D pictures they gave me from my appointment last Thursday. He is growing so fast...he actually is measuring big...he already weights 3.5 lbs...which scares me to death but at least he is healthy. Dr. Campbell predicts he will be at least 8lbs if not more.

They are hard to see but it is fun to look at them. I can't wait until I can actually see that sweet face and hold him in my arms. At least technology has advanced and it can give you a little sneak peek into the womb and see their sweet face. Coming soon...maybe today...pictures from the baby shower and his room.

2 of the best years of my life:)

Tomorrow, Nov. 3rd Matt and I will celebrate 2 wonderful years of marriage. I get so excited for special days but really every day that I spend with my sweet husband is a blessing. It is amazing to me that it has already been two wonderful years...they flew by so quickly but they were so much fun. Matt is such an amazing man of God and such a wonderful husband to me. I feel so blessed each day that the Lord brought Matt in my life....and what a gift he is. Matt and I have had a great year and it has been full of wonderful times and some tough times but all of our experiences make our marriage closer and stronger. I have tons of nicknames that I use for Matt so....BoBo, Bubbie and the many others names I have for you....I love you more and more each day. Thank you for always being there for me, always supporting me, always being my shoulder to cry on, always fixing things, all the late night chats, all the honey will you get me.....and most of all for loving me pregnant when I cry almost every day about something:) Matt I know you are going to be a wonderful father to Layton. I Love you!

Swine Flu!!

Well guess what fun friend is visiting at our house....you guessed it the Swine flu! Matt and I had a weekend "babymoon" planned to San Antonio to stay on the River Walk but the pigs had other things in mind for us this weekend that involved me doing tons of cleaning and him laying on the couch for hours.

It all started on Wednesday this week with 3 kids in my class getting diagnosed with the Swine flu...it freaked me out a little only because I am pregnant and there is not yet a vaccine available for me to take to keep from getting it. So Wed. I called my OB and she prescribed me Tamiful so that I would not catch the Swine flu from the kids. They had my room at school sanitized and then I carried hand sanitizer on my hip like a gun:) Well Thursday Matt woke up and said he did not feel well and he was going to stay home from work. Ok...I thought no big deal, he probably has a sinus infection or something. Then at lunch time on Thursday he calls me at school and tells me he has the Swine flu and needs to stay 6 feet away from me at all times:) I mean are you kidding???...I don't want to go to work and I don't want to go home now either. So the doctor said we are not to sleep in the same bed or use the same restroom for at least 6 days:(

So there went the "Babymoon" and there went any kid of weekend spent with my hubby. I have cleaned and sanitized EVERYTHING in this house...twice!! He is sleeping in our guest room and using the guest bath. So fun for all:) Today I did a lot of shopping to avoid the house as much as possible...so this Swine flu might be costing him a pretty penny:) JK!! Hopefully his days of being contagious are almost over. I have never washed my hands so much or used so many cleaners that "kill the flu" virus in my life. At home now and at school I carry a can of Lysol like it is my best friend.

Happy Friday to all and enjoy your weekend in your Swine free home:)

Ahh...finally a routine!

Umm this is a funny picture of Gray (my niece who I think it the cutest kiddo ever!!..of course till her cousin Layton comes into the picture). Gray's face in this picture pretty much sums up how I have felt over the past lets say 3 weeks. Going back to school has been fun but boy it has been a lot of work and I never thought I would work 12 hour days and be pregnant!! I am so glad that the first 2 weeks of school are over and things are slowing down and going back to my normal working hours. I feel more normal this week and not as stressed as I did those first few weeks.

I have a great class but I am sure looking forward to the day when Layton gets here and I can give this class over to someone else for good. I can only imagine that the bigger my tummy gets the harder teaching 1st graders is going to get. Already tying their shoes has become a problem..... I ask them to lift there leg up to me and hold on to me while I tie their shoe....they just look at me with this look like "what is wrong with you lady?"....lol...

Gray's 2nd birthday is this weekend and we are so excited. Matt has gotten roped into renting a Mickey Mouse costume from a local Costume store in Plano and he is going to be the star of the birthday party as your one and only Mickey Mouse....Gray's favorite!!! It will be fun to watch her reaction. Don't worry I will take pictures and post them after this weekend b/c I am sure Matt will look funny in the mouse suit.

Anyway...I have not fallen off the earth just been so very busy and so tired. I am 20 weeks pregnant already and boy is the time flying by...I can't believe the half way point is already here.

I still feel great and I have started a new maternity water class at Dallas Presby. The girls in my class are so much fun and it has been great exercise so far. Matt and I can't wait to see Layton again this Friday for another glimpse inside the womb.
