Baby Grey at 39 and 40 weeks! 

 At 39 weeks with Baby Grey!
We had a dr visit on thursday and he
said I was dilated at a 1. 
The baby is very comfortable in there! 
We had a little wild adventure Friday night...
He wasn't moving very much during the day and
so it made me nervous and of course Ross got 
really nervous. We headed to the hospital
just to make sure everything was ok.
As soon as they hooked up monitors on my 
tummy he began to kick! He does not like
things on my tummy....such as pillows and high 
maternity pants!! haha!! After a little
stay he had a great heart beat and lots of 
movements so we were sent home!
 At 40 weeks! Wow!! Full term!!
Sunday we headed off to church and lunch with
Ross' parents! It was a nice day! We also went and
saw the new Jack Ryan movie which was fun to get
out and about before the baby!!
 A few weekends ago Aunt Jan and Uncle Sonny came
into town to visit before the baby arrives!
Aunt Jan made two adorable wreaths for baby Grey!
I just loved this one so I put it on the front
door today since the next time we come back we will
bringing our little boy with us!
 I decided to decorate a little!! haha!
This is the banner my sweet friend Staci made for
the baby shower! We put it over the fireplace
to welcome baby Grey home!!
 Ross and I being silly!
One of our last pics of just us! 
I can't believe it!! We are so excited and eager to
meet our little boy!!
Ross with the pups! 
Our 3 boys about to be 4!!
Parker and Preston sense something
is changing and don't let me get out of their
sight when we are at home!!
 The babies room! It's complete and ready for baby Grey!
Here is the view looking into the room from the hallway!
A big comfy chair and his crib with the cutest little boy bedding!!
The big comfy chair is from Memaw Hogan who said
I loved to be rocked when I was little so I would need
a chair to rock my little baby in!! So sweet!!
He has a dresser full of clothes and blankets!
Also, a little collection of stuffed animals...lambs, deer, and a 
puppy dog! The sign above his dresser my friend gave
us as a shower gift!! Grandmother (my mom) loves 
all the lambs and so she has bought baby Grey anything
with a lamb on it!! I just love it too!! ;)
 His crib with big animals ready to cuddle with!
The giant lamb is from Grandmother (my mom) 
that we are taking his monthly pics with!
The super soft bear is from Aunt Penny! 
Nonnie (Ross' mom) got the bedding for baby Grey
and the sweet blanket with his name on it!!
 The changing station and diaper keeper! haha!
I put the frames up and some have
pictures while others do not...we are
waiting to put his picture in a few!
Our fun adventure starts today!!
Here are Baby Grey's bags ready to go!
We are headed into the hospital tonight
for medication to move the dilation process
along since I am still at a 1. We will then
be monitored at patiently wait for his arrival!

Christmas 2014!! We enjoyed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our families this year! 
On Christmas Eve we headed over to Ross' parents house were we ate all day and 
played with the little ones! Ross' grandparents came into town for 
Christmas and it was nice seeing them too! Lorin, Logan, Knox, and 
Rhett were there and Knox entertained everyone all day!!
 Ross and Knox playing around!
 Knox opening presents!
 Ross and I on Christmas Eve! 36 weeks pregnant!!
 Ross and baby Rhett! It's crazy how
quickly he has grown in a matter of weeks!
 We watched Christmas movies all day including the Grinch
and Elf! all time favorites!! Knox enjoyed the movies
and snacks while resting with Nonnie!!

 On Christmas morning we slept in and 
enjoyed a new tradition of monkey bread
on Christmas morning! We had a quiet 
morning just the two of us before getting
ready to head over to my parents home
for Christmas day celebrations!
 Ross and I at my parents house on Christmas Day!
I just love the tree my mom puts up!
It has ornaments that are old and new.
Some of the ornaments Tyler and I made when
we were little and some of them are shiny crosses
and fun diet coke bottles!
 Ross got a few things for baby Grey that were Batman themed!
Baby Grey also got a rocking Lamb with his name on it
that stays at Grandmother's house for when he visits!
 We are on the 2 week countdown!!!
Wahoo!! We are more than excited and ready!!
We bought a pack and play and it's set up in 
our room ready to go! We also have the car seat
installed in the car and a swing set up in the living room!
 We took Parker to the groomers the other
day for a good bath and a hair cut!
He is ready to meet baby Grey too!!
It's going to be a circus around here
and we are ready to go! haha!

35 weeks and Gaylord ICE

Here we are catching up a little on the blog.....35 weeks and a trip to see Gaylord ICE the Nutcracker!
Ross is great about taking my weekly bump pictures and on week 35 he decided it would be fun to show baby Grey that mom ate breakfast! ha! I look silly but Ross always finds a way to make me smile! Week 35 pics!

 35 weeks on Dec 15!
 Every year Ross and I have a date night to see the Gaylord
ICE exhibit in Grapevine! I enjoy our little date
nights since it's just us and we really enjoy walking
around the Gaylord seeing all of the beautiful
Christmas decorations! 
This year the ICE theme was The Nutcracker!
They went all out with all of the details and
even a slide in the middle of the exhibit made 
of ICE! *side note: it was freezing cold inside
and I had on my coat, scarf and the massive
blue parka! I look huge! haha!!


 After the Nutcracker ICE we saw the New York 
City ICE which was really neat!
They had a taxi cab made out of ice and
an area set up like Times Square!
Ross and Lady Liberty...holiday style!
 Ross and I posed for a pic by a bridge in central 
park ice! It was really cute and I hope to take 
Ross to New York City sometime to
enjoy the adventure!
 We walked around the Gaylord checking out all
of the wonderful Christmas decor!

 A wine barrel Christmas tree! How fun!

We had a lovely time and it's fun to think that
next year we will have a little one to join
us on our fun Christmas outing!!
