Mom is Finally Here

Mom flew in today so we are ready to have this baby! She left around 2:30pm from San Angelo, flew to Dallas and made it to Seattle by 6:30pm. It was a long day but she made it here in one piece. Parise God for momma’s who are willing to come and help out – I feel so blessed to have her here. We will post again when we have more news.

21 Days & Counting

Abigail is defiantly on her way! Jamie and I went to the doctor’s office today and found out that I am 1 ½ cm dilated and 75% effaced. This is not an indication of when Abbey will be here (sooner or later) but that she is for sure coming =)

All is well, I am HUGE and very ready to have this baby. It is only 20 or so more days until our due date and I couldn’t be more ready. Today a very sweet friend of mine came over and helped me paint Abbey’s room. It is a soft color of yellow and I can’t wait to fix it up just for her.

We will fill you in more as we get news next week of our progress. Until then . . . Lord willin and the water don’t break!

Love,

Air-pane! Air-pane!

Grady is our residential air traffic controller.
Everyday we go outside, he looks up into the big blue sky and yells at the top of his sweet little baby voice, ‘AIR-PANE, AIR-PANE’. Then of coarse comes ‘the dance’. He has more fun than anybody I know telling everybody about what he sees up there in the sky.

He is such a joy! Besides airplanes, Grady is also in love with Sesame Street (in particular Elmo & Count VonCount). He is learning new things everyday.

For example, he was helping me make coffee for daddy the other morning (cha-chie so he calls it) and began counting the scoops of grounds I was putting in . . . before I knew it, he counted all the way to 10!! I’ve been working with him on ABC’s but I never expected to hear numbers like that come out of 17 month old.

And yes, we did call Mensa, they are accepting toddlers =).
