I posted this when I was pregnant with Will and he was born two days later. So I thought it was worth finding out if Reed could be just as cooperative...
Your mother is issuing a notice for EVICTION. Tenant will have 2 more weeks in which you can either gather all belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed from the property.
You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made!
Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.
Failure to comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at mommy's discretion.

37 Weeks
I just remembered that I forgot to put up my 37 week picture on Sunday. I've been trying to post one every couple of weeks. My belly is huge!

Ready for Will
We spent all day yesterday getting ready for Will's arrival. I went through all the gifts we got at Chris's work shower, finished up Will's laundry, and did a little organizing in his room. Chris put together the swing and the highchair (yes, I know he won't need it for awhile), installed the carseat bases in both of our cars, set up the Angelcare Sounds & Movement monitor, and cleaned the house. Wow, he did a lot! Thanks Chris!
Oh, and I guess my doctor's appointment on Wednesday is what got me motivated to do all this. Going into the appointment, I hadn't decided if I wanted my doctor to check for progress (he had said at my last appointment he would check if I wanted him to). I really didn't think there would be any since I wasn't even 36 weeks yet, so I was thinking about saving myself the trouble. But then I found out that he was going to be out of town this whole week, so I thought I better have him check just in case. Turns out, I'm dilated to a 1 (maybe a 2). That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I guess the reality hit that Will is on his way out. My doctor did say that he doesn't think I'll last 42 weeks (phew!), but he was also pretty confident that I would still be pregnant when he gets back in town on July 9th.
Here are some funny Chris moments from the day:
- After he put together the swing, he was playing with it a little bit and I asked him, "Do you think Will's going to like it?" And he said, "Probably not. It seems pretty boring to me." But he continued playing with it for awhile and then when his dad came over, he was very excited to show him what all it could do....must not be so boring afterall.
- After he put together the highchair (which Chris calls his Nascar chair because of the five-point safety harness), he pushed it up to the dining room table and I told him that we would most likely be using it in the kitchen since our dining room has carpet...that way Will can throw his food everywhere. Chris took offense to my comment and said, "Give him a little credit."
- This is my favorite. Jim (Chris's dad) brought over a piece of plywood to put under the crib mattress so that we could put the motion sensor pad that goes with the monitor on it (if you haven't seen the Angelcare monitor, you need to). Well after we got that all put in place, Chris plugged everything in and very excitedly ran into our bedroom to plug in the parent unit. Jim and I stayed in Will's room talking and then we hear Chris in the other room saying, "I can hear y'all!! Can you hear me? Can you hear me??" He was very disappointed when I told him that we weren't supposed to be able hear him....he said he thought it was more of a walkie-talkie type thing. haha! I can just picture Will waking us up crying in the middle of the night and Chris talking into the monitor, calmly telling him to go back to sleep. So funny.
I think we are fairly ready for him now. Maybe ready isn't the right word....I guess I'll say we're more prepared for him now. I don't know if we'll ever really be ready, but there's no turning back now and we are really excited to meet him! And if all else fails, at least he has plenty of clothes to wear!
Oh, and I guess my doctor's appointment on Wednesday is what got me motivated to do all this. Going into the appointment, I hadn't decided if I wanted my doctor to check for progress (he had said at my last appointment he would check if I wanted him to).

Father or Not?
I gave Chris a Father's Day card and a little box of chocolates this morning before church. On our way to church, he was talking about how it is weird that he really is a dad now and it doesn't feel like he should be celebrating Father's Day. He said he feels like he should still be the kid in the family. During the service, all the fathers were asked to stand up and Chris just couldn't bring himself to stand up quite yet, even though everyone around us was looking at him and nudging him to get up....but it didn't bother me because I couldn't decide if he was really a father yet or not. I guess next year will be his first real Father's Day. We were driving back from Dallas on Mother's Day this year, so the issue didn't come up then.
Nonetheless, I did surprise Chris with a Father's Day present at lunch. I got him a digital picture frame so that I can take lots of pictures of Will while we are at home during the day and then he can see what we get to do at home all day. We did finally decide that I will not be going back to work after Will gets here, which Chris is totally supportive of, but he keeps saying that he just can't figure out what we are going to do all day. He is positive that we will be bored out of our minds. So I am going to take pictures of what is going on so that he can be assured that we are not bored. Anyway, he LOVES the picture frame and can't wait to get some pictures of Will on there.
Well, I really do intend to post a blog more than once a week. I started out good and I know I let my readers down this week. Hopefully, that will be rare but we just had a rather eventful week. I'll just give you a quick run down of what has been going on:
Monday: The crib we ordered was supposed to come in - it didn't. I know I've said in another post that I would tell the crib story later, but this is going to have to be another teaser for now. I really do want devote an entire post about why NOT to order a crib from Wal-Mart. But for now, I will just say that in the end, it didn't ever come in and so I was determined to find a crib on Monday. So I spent the afternoon looking for a crib that I could pick up that night. I bribed my family - Mom, Dad, Lance (my brother), and Staci (my cousin) - into coming over to help by fixing them dinner. After dinner, the boys left to pick up the furniture and us girls stayed home and worked on getting the room ready for the furniture. I think we finished getting all the furniture put together by 1 am. I don't think feeding them dinner was enough - so maybe a big fat THANK YOU (and a shout out on the blog) will do! ha!
Tuesday: We had our 4th installment of childbirth class. This class was mostly devoted to infant care and again, was very informative. However, Chris does not approve of my swaddling skills and insists that he is a better swaddler than me. I guess swaddling will just have to be his job! :)
Wednesday: We finally moved my computer desk out of Will's room. That has been a big change. Chris and I are not used to sharing a computer and we really still don't have to share because we still have his desktop and his laptop. What could be the problem, you may be wondering. Well, Chris likes to be working on his desktop (which has two monitors I should add) while watching a movie on his laptop. So we are learning to share. But I am also learning that I really don't need to be using the computer so much and I actually like it. I get a lot of other stuff done. A lot of times, I would just find myself sitting at my computer desk playing on the computer while I should have been doing a lot of other things. I think this will be a good change and I haven't missed my own computer as much as I thought I would.
Thursday: My mom and I worked on decorating Will's room all afternoon. It is looking good, but we still have some stuff to do so I will post pictures as soon as it's all finished up. That night, Chris went straight from work to Beau and Kimberly's wedding rehearsal and then I met him at the rehearsal dinner.
Friday: Chris was a groomsman in Beau & Kimberly's wedding. They had a very pretty wedding at First United Methodist Church and then a really fun reception at Spirit Ranch (the old County Line). They had a Sheridan's cart at the reception which was the highlight of Chris's night. I was feeling pretty good all night until I sat down and looked at my feet. They were HUGE! They look fat all the time now, but this was worse than ever (I guess from standing up in heels all night). It totally freaked me out and I decided that I needed to go home immediately. Chris wanted to be a good groomsman and stay the whole time, so luckily, one of my best friend's parents were there and they were happy to take me home. Thanks Pat & Danny! I really should have taken a picture of my feet, they were awful.
Saturday: I woke up to find that my feet were back to their normal pregnancy fatness and no longer looked like balloons that somewhat resembled feet. Phew. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and shopping for Father's Day presents. Then I had my Pokeno group last night (which is sort of like Bunko). That is always fun!
Sunday: We took our dads to Ruby Tequila's for lunch and then everyone came over to see the progress in Will's room. Cindy (Chris's mom) came over tonight with the crib skirt and bumpers! They look so cute! I can't wait until everything is finished so that I can post a picture. Now, I am obviously catching up on the blog and about to catch up on some TV that I missed this week.
Well, this didn't turn out to be so much of a quick rundown of the week - sorry if you have made it this far! :) Oh, and I didn't remember to bring my camera anywhere this week. I have got to get better about that now that I have a blog to keep up with. This week should be much less eventful, so maybe I'll get a chance to fill you in on the crib drama. I hope everyone has a great week!

33 Weeks
I can’t believe that Will will be here in 7 weeks or less! I haven’t really felt pregnant until just a few weeks ago and now it will be over so soon. That is probably a good thing because I’m sure I’ll be wanting to get him out in just a few more weeks, but so far, I feel like I’ve had it easy and have enjoyed being pregnant for the most part.
Top 5 Things I Like About Being Pregnant:
5. Expectant moms parking at United. Although, I wouldn’t park there until I was really showing because I didn’t want anyone to be thinking I was just parking there for the heck of it. It always makes me mad when I see lazy men parked in those spots. One day there was a man just sitting there in his car, keeping me from having the spot, so I intentionally walked right by his car and looked right at him in the window, hoping he would feel bad for taking this poor pregnant woman’s parking spot.
4. Having an excuse to not clean the house. Since I’ve only worked part-time for the past couple of years, it has been part of the deal that I would do all of the housework, which I consider to be very fair. But since I’ve been pregnant, Chris has done a lot of the housework and my mom has even come over to help. I usually feel guilty if I don’t get it all done, but it’s been nice to have an excuse to be messy for awhile.
3. Talking to Chris about what it’s going to be like to be parents and different things we are looking forward to doing with our family. I’m sure we have some ideals that will change a lot once parenting is a reality, but it’s fun to talk about anyway. We also can’t wait until Will is old enough to take on family vacations. For some reason, we’re both really excited about visiting Sea World some day.
2. Eating whatever I want! Including, but not limited to, Chick-fil-a Cookies & Cream milkshakes, CiCi’s pizza buffet, ice cream sandwiches, toaster strudels, donuts, Taco Villa combination burritos, Doritos, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups….the list could go on, but these are the things I’m really going to miss when I’m trying to drop the baby weight (at least in the quantities that I’ve been eating them).
1. Feeling Will move around inside me and just wondering what he will be like. It’s crazy to think that he is an actual person that will have his own personality. I just can’t wait to meet him. I know that God has some good things planned for him and it will be so much fun to see what all that is!
