30 Weeks, let the countdown begin.....

WOW!!!! 30 weeks! The nerves are finally starting to set in. I hope that I can handle this. We still don't have everything ready for him, but does anyone really? We are just counting down the weeks until we get to hold our little boy in our arms :)

Baby K: Still nameless, I told Shawn we should call him Keaton for a week, than call him Kellen for a week to see what we like better, but so far that hasn't happened. So he is Baby K. Hes a VERY ACTIVE child! He loves to kick me in the ribs every chance he gets. Since he has become so active, Shawn likes to sit there with his hand over my belly and feel him go crazy! I love the feeling of those two bonding. I could sit there all day and just watch them if I could. :) Shawn is going to be such an awesome daddy!!!

Me: I still awesome! I feel like gravity is pulling me forward, and am going to face plants some days. We started going to the gym @ 5am, I hate getting up that early, but I feel so much better the rest of the day. I think that I have given up on maternity pants. My sister let me borrow some of her old jeans, and let me tell you, they are so comfy!!!!!! I don't know why i didn't start wearing them sooner. The only complaint that I really have is, I'm getting cankles! I have to wear ankle socks, and slip on shoes now. Otherwise, my feet fall asleep. By the end of the day, I don't have an ankle bone, and it feels like I have shin splints. So, hopefully I can get some relief from that soon!

That's all I have in the baby department for now!

28 Week Update

I can't believe that I'm 28 weeks! time is flying by, and we are NOWHERE near ready for this child. We haven't even started on his room yet. But I'm sure as soon as the "nesting" phase hits it will be on like donkey Kong. We just need the weather to clear up so we can replace the window in the room, and then everything will be cake after that.

For this little one, He is growing & growing everyday. He LOVES music! He goes crazy at Church with music is playing and people are singing. He also loves it when I turn the radio up in the car. I can't wait to see him. I wonder everyday who he is going to look like. We have finally settled on TWO NAMES! we are down to Kellen & Keaton. I told Shawn that I don't want to name him til after he is born so we can see what name fits him better. One thing I know for sure is, he's going to be pretty darn cute!

As for this Mama, I'm doing really good. My lower back and hips have stoped giving me problems for the most part. The heartburn just depends on the day now. The only thing that I'm dealing with are cramps in my calves. They hurt so bad! I only get them when I wake up and stretch my legs out. But for the rest of the day, my legs kill. I go to the Doctor this week, so I'm going to see what we can do for that. But other than that, I have nothing to complain about.

Sgt. Hunter

So much has been going on with all things baby, but I thought I would take a minute to tell you that Shawn was promoted to Sergeant! We are still in a world of shock over the whole thing. Within about a 2 week time frame they held interviews and he was hired. So not much time to sit and think about the whole thing. We both think that it is a GREAT oppertunity for him, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

His new title entails: being the daytime Sgt./School resource officer. Plus, he is also in charge of the new officer training program. He has a lot on his plate. But I know he is up for the task. He's schedule is so much for flexable throughout the school year, and in the summertime he will patroling on the streets.

He has accomiplished so much in the short 4 1/2 years that he has been there. It's awesome the see that he is the go to guy with his coworkers. I'm proud of him, and all the hard work that he does for out family!
