From the expecting father

38 weeks - we are so close that it could happen at any time. We are so excited to see what little Joey is going to look like. Will he have my nose or Crystal's chin. Blue eyes or webbed toes (my family has webbed toes, but it's cute not weird).

My mom has been here for the last few days after our high blood pressure scare last week. I want to thank her for being here to answer all the 200 questions we have everytime something changes and we get more and more anxious. Today we made our last trip to BabiesRUs and Target to pickup anything we still needed and the pressure was on. At BabiesRUs Crystal had to stay in the car. High blood pressure has put her on bed rest but she really wanted to come. I had to have my mom run diaper bags out to the car to see if she liked them. She liked the first one, thank goodness). We are ready!

Nursery complete

Today is a double post kind of day. The nursery is complete and ready for Joey so I thought I'd share some pictures for everyone to see what we've ended up with.








37 weeks = Full-term

Hello 37 weeks and full-term baby time! Talk about home stretch. So every week until little Joey comes, I will be posting a belly shot.

I had the first of the weekly doctor's appointment this week and discovered that he had dropped and his head down and ready. Dilation and effacement have begun, so now we wait until he's ready. In the meantime, hospital bags are being packed today, final nursery tidying and the final stretch to-do list.

Pictures! Shower #2 - Dallas

Yesterday we had the pleasure of seeing family and friends at Baby Shower #2! We enjoyed time with several people from Crystal's work in addition to the Priest side of the family. A few of the favorite photos are below, but here is a link to all of them.








A big thank you to Meagan for capturing so many shots!
