Oh My! Another Flashback!

The top picture was taken a few days before Lincoln was born; the bottom picture was taken Sunday. The biggest difference is in my face and stomach. I'm about 10 lighter than I was with Lincoln at the same point. Wonder if that means the baby will be smaller than Lincoln...he was a whopping 8 lbs and 20.5 inches.

Diapers!!!!!

The sweet ladies in my SS class hosted a diaper shower for me on Sunday. We got so many diapers and wipes as well as a few fun little things like bibs, sleepers, lotions and burpcloths. Our class has been such a blessing over the last 4 years!

3rd Birthday, a little early!

Even though Lincoln's birthday is over a week away, we decided to celebrate early just in case little brother decides to arrive early. We enjoyed time with family and a few friends who are like family to us. We decided on a football theme since we are getting so close to football season and Lincoln loves football.

A few of the decorations...red velvet cupcakes for dessert.

Memer and Gigi got Lincoln a new golf club, balls and tees. He hasn't put it down yet!

Tailate party!

Meet the Teacher

Mrs. Otelia and Lincoln

We are excited for school to start on Tuesday! Lincoln will go Tues/Thurs 930-2 and will be in Mrs. Otelia's class with his friend Anna and 7 other kids. We LOVE that Lincoln is a September baby and the oldest kid in his class for so many reasons. One of the best reasons is that I had him home with me for three full years before starting the 2 year old preschool class.

Lincoln calls Mrs. Otelia Miss Oteo. Shouldn't take him long to figure it out.

The further into the pregnancy I get, the more noticeable it is that I'm carrying this one much lower! Won't be long now.

4th of July

Better late than never...here are a few pictures of our July 4th adventures!

Waiting for fireworks

Still waiting

Lincoln really liked his glow in the dark accessories:)

After waiting an hour for the fireworks, Lincoln spent the majority of his time hiding behind his blanket. He didn't cry or act scared, he acted annoyed and a little disappointed that we liked the fireworks and he didn't.

As we walked back to the car, Ryan asked Lincoln if he liked the fireworks. His response? I wanna go see the horse poop on the street again.

Puddle Jumper

Lincoln has L-O-V-E-D his new lifejacket. Puddle jumpers are fantastic and have made taking Lincoln to the pool such fun. Here are a few shots from the pool!

Lakehouse

We made a quick trip to lake Texoma Saturday and Sunday. Lincoln enjoyed swimming in the lake, making smores and playing outside.

New Room

Who would have thought switching rooms would take so long. Lincoln's new room was our old office. We decided to leave the nursery in the same spot since we don't need to repaint. Plus, the nursery furniture fits so nicely in that room. Everything in this room is new! Lincoln has a new twin bed that he's been sleeping in for a few months now. It also has a trundle for an extra guest! Ryan built the shelf above his bed and the bookshelf was transplanted from his nursery. My Dad built this one for him from scratch. It's easily my favorite piece.

The bed and dresser are from Weirs. I stained the head board and foot board to make it a tad darker. The night stand is a FABULOUS Craig's list find....this item doesn't have a nick or scratch and is such a unique piece. We love it and the fact that we snagged it for $30!

I made the french memory board out of some scrap wood, fabric and jute. Lincoln keeps his cards, artwork, etc on the board.

The pictures above his closet are old A&M programs, one dating back to 1939.

I'm still on the hunt for an A&M football helmet and something to hang over his headboard. Hopefully this room will further feed his love for all things A&M!

So this is the long stretch towards the end...I'm enjoying a lovely mixture of pregnancy symptoms: heartburn, leg cramps, backache, fatigue, swollen hands and feet. I'm now seeing my doctor every two weeks and assume I passed my glucose test since I didn't hear back. The nurse said, no news is good news at this point! Come on September!
