PARKER UPDATE:

Parker loves to swim!!!!

And daddy takes him swimming almost everyday,

or at least 4 times a week.

He's kind of grown an obsession with water.

I predict he will be swimming by himself

within the next few months.

My husband started swimming

the stretch of an entire pool,

jumping off the high dive by the time

he was 2 years old. Uh oh!

I LOVE the Ocean &

my hubby is a die-hard surfer.

So we really hope our love for water

will be passed on to Parker.
 

We actually have an on going joke and

openly say that Parker is going to be the next

World Champ of the WCT

(World Championship Tour)

HAHA!

Did you know???

Kelly Slater is also an Aries, like little Parker

and his parents were also both Pisces

like my husband & I.

EMBRACE THIS GORGEOUS

CALIFORNIA SUNDAY!

WE LIKE TO CALL IT,

FAMILY DAY!

LOVE ALWAYS,

Lindsay, MOMMA ME

The time is coming...

28 weeks

So, we are coming closer and closer to the day when Parker will be in our lives and we are so excited. Last week we had our 28 week check up and our Doctor told us that Parker will be coming a little bit sooner then planned and should arrive towards the end of march rather then April. We are really hoping he is a Pisces just like us. :) Each week my stomach is growing more and more. He kicks so much and moves around so frequent I don't notice some days. This Thursday, January 21 we are having our 29 week ultrasound and we couldnt be more excited. Everyone always tells us how the 3d ultrasounds look exactly like your baby. Aaron thinks Parker will look like him but have my eyes. Who knows...

Everything is ok right now and thank you for all the warm thoughts when we found out I was highly anemic and having preterm labor symptoms.

3 more months and counting

So, we have offically hit the third trimester and it seems like everything has gone by so quickly. In a short 3 months we will have a baby join our family and we can't wait. This Saturday, January 9, Aaron and I are getting a tour of Los Robles Hospital and we are begining our birthing classes over the next several weeks. Here are a few pictures of me at 25 weeks and we will take more as each week progresses.

25 WEEKS & CHRISTMAS

So, it has been a few weeks since our last post. I apologize for not updating everyone with more pictures of my pregnant belly. I am going to take a new one this week for the holidays. We have offically hit 25 weeks this week and there have been many changes. First, Aaron has offically felt Parker kick and it was the most amazing moment. It is hard to describe to someone what it is like to have a baby growing inside of you and feelnig every move. I have been waiting patiently for Parker to kick hard enough so Aaron can feel him and know how amazing this experience is. When he placed his hand on my stomach, he put his head close up to my belly and began talking to Parker. I swear the moment he started talking, Parker started kicking like a soccer player. As Aaron stared at my stomach with amazement, I stared at him with so much love. He finally understood how amazing this is. We are bringing life into the world that is apart of both of us.

So, we had our 24 weeks check up last week and everything is great. All of Parker's organs look good, his heart beat is strong, and he is growing faster then ever. I had to take the gestational diabetes test today and our next check up is in the middle of Janruary. I feel like the pregnancy is going by so fast and he will be here before we know it. I can't wait for the day when Aaron and I get to bring Parker home from the hospital and just spend sometime as a family.

So, since the holidays are just a few days away I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week and enjoy every moment. I will post pics up as soon as I can.

IT'S A BOY!!!

We went to our doctor today and foundout we have a healthy, BIG, boy. She definetly mentioned how long his arms and legs were. He is gonna be just like his dad. Hopefully, the labor isnt to painful. LOL. Thank you everyone for all your support. I will keep everything posted and up to date. The due date is April 9, 2010.

Sneak Peek of our life before the baby arrives....

So, here is our family at the moment. In a few more months it will be plus one...



Meet Coffee, our girl who runs the show. For some reason she loves Harley though.



Introducing Harley, the pit mix who thinks he is as big as a lap dog. FYI His best friend is a teacup yorky, Pearl.

Having a Baby, due April 3, 2010

So, Aaron and I found out that we are having a baby. How exciting. Aaron is going to be the best dad and I can't wait to be a mom. The first trmester was hell. I was sick everyday all day and nothing it could help. Recently, I hit 16 weeks and I am back to my old self.

Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an a...vocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Here I am at 16 weeks:
