Frog Legs...

This is what we call frog legs, I love it when Rocko sprawls out in the "frog leg" position. This was after a long walk in the hot Memphis temps.
Looking a little possessed here.
Later in the day he was still so swoopy, he and mommy took a nice cozy nap together.
My Swoopy Boy!

We have enjoyed our morning walks, Rocko has too! It is a good time for Josh and I to talk with no interruptions--no cell phones, TV, etc. I feel much better--better than I have felt in 10 yrs and Josh is losing weight. Now if we could get it to just cool off a little. We usually walk around 8:30 am, and it is already over 80 degrees. The humidity is awful as well. We plan to continue our walks after Colton arrives!

This weekend we are headed to the lake with the Conways. I am ready to just go float and relax. Should be a quiet, sunny weekend up there. It will be hot, but we will be in the water. This may be my last trip up there before I am a mommy--weird thought!

Yoshe is at the Vet today. She has fluid on her lungs and heart, I am waiting on mom to call with more news. Please say a prayer for her and my brother!

The Mike Meier's are arriving on Saturday for a visit. Should be fun, haven't seen them in a while. Josh's birthday is Tuesday, he will be 28.

Sarah update: after coming home on Tuesday--she is back at Baptist indefinitely. Still bleeding--no contractions. She is taking something orally to stop them. Keep praying that Addi keeps growing until 34 weeks!

Have a great weekend!

4th post--its catch up time!

Ok, so things have been busy as usual. Sarah was put back in the hospital on Friday for bleeding and contractions. Her contractions were 3 min apart, pretty scary considering she is only 30 weeks. The baby ways 3.1lbs and her lungs are are working (they ran a test on them today?!?). They gave Sarah some steroid shots to help with the Addi's lungs. She was also on a Magnesium drip to stop the contractions. They haven't totally stopped so now she is on an oral med that she can take until 34 weeks. Doctor hopes she can make it that far, which also happens to be the week of her brothers wedding. I was there tonight, and she started bleeding a lot so I had to leave so the nurses could do there thing. She is back on the monitor. Please pray that Addi holds on for at least 2 more weeks!

I am still in major cleaning/nesting phase! 2 more rooms to clean out and then we can start to paint. I can help paint the nursery, but mom is on her own in the bathrooms. I am so excited to start on Colton's room, I will have to get rid of a lot of purses! I have picked his bedding, it is 2 shades of brown and a bluish turquoise. Stripes and geometric shapes. I will accent with some monkeys!

I go for my 3D/4D ultrasound on the 14th, we are so excited to see his face!!!

Well, since this is my 4th post today--I'll stop here. Tomorrow, we will walk as usual and I am swimming with friends and kiddies from school!

Mitchie was "swoopy"

"Mitchie," (this is what Colton will call dad) was very swoopy the other night. His belly was full from dinner, and he missed Yoshe's birthday festivities. He was snoring so loud, had to take some pics. Something could literally crawl in his mouth and die, and he wouldn't knwo the difference! Maybe COlton will stick things in there while he is sleeping, I can picture it now!
Check out the tongue action, he was making a whistling sound after every snore. He doesn't read this blog, so I don't have a thing to worry about!

Yoshe's 5th Birthday!

Most of you know, we love our dogs around here! Last Thursday was Yoshe's 5th birthday. Mom bought her a cake from Three Dog Bakery. We have done this for Rocko before. It was a real treat for all three dogs. She had special tiaras to wear for her big day!
Rocko liked the cake too, it was very yummy to his tummy.
JJ thought it was too hard to eat out of the bowl, so he picked it up and ate off the ground. He was the first one finished with his cake!

Can't wait til the next birthday, JJ will be 13 in September and Rocko will be 4 in November...on Colton's due date.

My birthday at the Mays

The Mays hosted a yummy birthday dinner for me last Thursday. We all went out for steaks, chicken, and an amazing salad! Sis brought the birthday cake, chocolate--my favorite. The picture above is "Buddy" the pet squirrels house and porch swing. The Mays acquired Buddy from a friend who could no longer care for him. Buddy used to live inside, but I think he likes his new digs a little better!

This is mom feeding Cheyenne and Blaze apple treats. This was the highlight of Debbie's night. It was a little warm in the barn for Sarah and I, so we didn't hang for too long. Blaze was jealous that night and didn't want Cheyenne to get any of the treats!

Thanks to Margee and Grandma for a wonderful meal! I am in love with the Fried Queso Fresco!

29th Birthday

Well, it is my last year in the 20's! Next tear I will be a mommy and 30! Monday night I had a birthday dinner with some girls from school, we went to our fav. Mexican restaurant--La Hacienda. I had a great time.

Last night, we had the annual birthday dinner at Villa. It was a nice- quiet dinner, very enjoyable. No, that isn't my Miller Lite in the pic!

I will post more tomorrow about tonight's dinner at the Mays and about Yoshe's birthday!

Granny

I am posting twice today, because I forgot to mention the adventures of Granny from Monday. I received the call Monday morning that granny was headed to Methodist North in an ambulance--dizzy and grandpa couldn't get her in the car. Turns out she has Vertigo. They ran all precautionary tests and released her. Could have been a lot worse.

The above pic is of Paige with what we called the "elephant condom," it was also known as a barf bag. Below pic is us messing with granny when she was out of it. She is prob gonna kill me, oh well she doesn't read the blog anyway!
