Visiting cousins. Feb. 21, 2008

Totally looks like a Williams here.



Showing me something with his fingers.



Sidney playing with Number 1.




Here we go!


Doesn't look thrilled as all.



Getting the two of them together.



Playing around...




So I thought I would post a few pics of Sidney and my cousin's children. They are so cute and I really think the baby looks like Charlie Brown, don't you???

Baby Shower Pics! Feb. 22, 2009

Week 36 (37)! Look at the bowling ball I am carrying! At least, it FEELS that way right now.

Well, today is Week 36 (ish) for me! Getting much closer! And 1 month today is considered Baby Williams' due date...so I guess it is a countdown from here!

I have been busy, busy, busy running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but I enjoy it! This weekend was a great one! Saturday we had a visit at the hospital we are birthing at and we both are glad we did it! The rooms are great and the staff seem very much supportive of natural birthing (for as much as hospital staff can, I suppose!). Then on Sunday I had my baby shower! I had such a great time. It was wonderful to see all who came. We are so blessed by all our family and friends! We got sooooo many gifts and really appreciate it all. It really helps us out. I will get around to posting pics here soon and pics of the belly as well. She's really growing! My dad asked what if this baby ended up being a boy? I just said I hope he would be really secure about himself because he would have to wear all things frilly and pretty! Let's hope the ultrasound and my instinct are right, though. I think they are ;).

Today I have a midwife appt. and then our birthing class. Hopefully all goes well as usual! I guess that's about all to report as of right now! Again, I will post pics of the shower soon!

Au revoir!

So, I have had this sudden burst of energy since yesterday. There are too many things running in my head about what I need to do before this baby comes....cleaning, finishing my sewing, finishing the baby's room, packing my hospital bags...to much to do! Maybe it's just my excitement of going home this weekend? I don't know for sure! I guess only time will tell.

Week 35! I am growing, growing, GROWING! And so goes my confidence in feeling beautiful today... maybe it will come back?

Anyway, I am hoping I won't grow too much bigger. Sometimes I don't feel big at all and then other times I think I might explode.

Had a midwife appt. yesterday. Everything went well, glad we are in the last weeks, though.

Happy Presidents' Day!

I can hardly believe Feb. is already half over...I think this is the fastest February of my entire life, but I love it! I am looking forward to St. Patty's Day, which will be here before we know it, 1 month from tomorrow! Also cannot believe that Baby W could be here in a month, give or take a few days....wow, how time has gone by! Sidney and I are very much looking forward to it, though.

This week will be a full one! Sidney and I are going to pick out the base board for Baby W's room tonight so Sidney can finish the room up. Tomorrow we have my next prenatal appt. with our midwife and then we meet with our doula before our birthing class! And then sometime this week I will be going into the city to watch Sidney skate on his lunch break (He ice skates on his lunch break and he loves it...he is so proud of himself, I think, and he keeps asking me to come watch him ;)) and then I finally get to meet up with a college friend who I haven't seen in over a year! I'm so excited!! And then we get to top off the week with a full weekend this coming weekend. We finally get to visit the hospital we are birthing Baby W and then we get to visit home and family and have my baby shower! I am really looking forward to it!

This weekend was a pretty good one for the most part. Sidney bought be roses and potted tulips for V-Day as well as a lovely card and the movie Fireproof. Saturday we went out to eat twice (nice to not have to do dishes all day!!!) and we went to the Bass Pro Shop (hey, we find it enjoyable). Sunday we went to church and then Sidney spent most of the day outside working on stuff around the house while I worked on my sewing. I am currently making a baby sun hat. My machine is proving to test my patience, but I will get it done eventually! The best part of this weekend??? Sidney gave his life to the Lord Sat. morning. I am so completely happy and excited about this, of course. I know now he needs prayer more now than ever, but this is such a huge blessing to me and I thank God so much for it! I think Baby W agrees...she's kicking and moving like crazy right now! hehe :).

Well, I think that's it for now. Looking forward to a great week and weekend and I will write later!

Au revoir!
