So far so good...

Yesterday, Oct. 7th, we had our 35 wk dr. appt. and she said everything was going right along schedule. She said that he's dropped already which is a wonderful sign. She still feels that he'll come around his due date, Nov. 8th, but if he does come early then maybe a week or so. She poked around to feel where he was & pushed on his head. He was a trooper & didn't take it out on me for her poking & prodding. She said that I need to come back in 2 wks and at that time she'll start doing internal sonograms to verify if any or how much dilation has happened. We're hoping that there will be at least 1-2cm of dilation by then. Yea! It's definitely getting more & more uncomfortable by the day. He is getting cramped in there & I'm feeling every inch of it. :)

Nursery **Updated**

I love this chair & it's going to make many long nights much more comfortable. No nursery is complete without a Sock monkey. :)

Isn't this cute?!

Great job Mike!!

Baby Shower in my hometown of Austin,TX

Look at this wonderful place and all the people that came out to share in our joy for little Oren. The shower was on the rooftop deck of Central Market in downtown Austin.

The food and cake was incredible!

I thought this was a great background for a picture.

This was a beautiful place & a perfect shower spot. Thank you Adrienne, Jacque, Wendy, & Janice! You were amazing hostesses and I loved every minute of the shower. THANK YOU for all of your hard work and love.

It was such a perfect day for a baby shower and Mike looks comfortable and relaxed out on the patio.

The Reeds gave us this beautiful handmade blanket with a matching taggie toy.

They also shared with us lots of good books and some finger puppets.

Thank you girls!

Houston Baby Shower - Sept. 6th

Thank you to everyone that came to celebrate our special little one. We feel so blessed that our baby is welcomed by so many wonderful and loving people. We had a great time. Thank you to all the hostesses for such a terrific shower. I don't think it could have been any better.

Hostesses:

(From Left to Right) Marisa, Susan, Michael, Heather, Me, Sandy, Barbara, & Faith. Thank you Ladies!!!! Our loving family How cute is this?! I can't wait to see Oren in this little Froggie outfit. This plaid polo jumper screams, "Mike Jones". This is Oren's first 'matching' outfit with daddy.
This was a beautiful handmade crocheted white & yellow blanket made by my Nonnie. :*)
Hook 'em Horns!! The best part is that it has a football printed on the booty.
Here's an adorable diaper cake topped off with the best item yet, the WeeBlocker. :)

Nursery

Here are some updated pictures of the nursery. We still need to add wall hangings & the border, but you can get a pretty good idea of how it will be. Michael did an amazing job on the room and all his hard work was worth it.

Our new patio

Here is the transformation of our back patio from beginning to end. We still need to add roofing but we're working on that. It's made the backyard so much more inviting. Thank you Dad & Mike for your hard work. They worked through probably the hottest weekend of all summer to put this up. Great job!!!
