Update

Only 25 days (hopefully less) to go! We are so excited to meet our sweet baby boy! Time has flown by and we can't believe he will be here so soon! I am feeling good, but definitely feeling more and more ready everyday to have him here. Who knew you could get this big or feel this uncomfortable :)

Mark is amazing! He is truly going to be the most amazing dad ever! He treats me like a queen everyday and has done so much to get ready for our new addition. It is so fun to see his face light up when we talk about our baby boy!

Our baby boy is still measuring four weeks big, so although I am 36 weeks along he is actually measuring 40! WHEW!! We are going to have a big boy :) He flipped (no longer breech) and they say everything looks good. YAY!

I am starting to feel a little anxious about labor, delivery, and bringing our baby home... so to all of you cute moms... any advice?

Beckam's Nursery

It is a bit plain for now, but will get better with time...Over the Winter Break, I felt a bit creative and made this sign for the nursery. Lots of people have asked if we are naming him after David Beckham.... although Mark hopes he starts kicking the soccer ball right out of the womb, he is not named after Mr. "Bend It." We just both love this name and feel like it fits our sweet little man :)




We are getting so excited to meet him! At our last ultrasound (31 weeks) we learned that this little guy is measuring 4 weeks big! Which means I have a BIG belly and he is going to be a BIG baby :) We also got the BEST 3-D pic at our ultrasound (check the upper right corner of our blog) I can't believe how clear it is! We are still adding our finishing touches to the nursery, but here is what we have so far. We can't wait to meet our baby boy Beckam!

The Bun IS IN the Oven!

WOW! I am 30 weeks along and feeling very large and in charge :) I went to the doc yesterday and am actually measuring 35 weeks! Five weeks ahead of schedule! This is going to be a big babe.... we will have an ultrasound next week to find out his true measurements. I am doing well, getting rather uncomfortable, but love feeling him inside me rockin and rollin!

He Did It!

What a great day! Mark officially graduated with his Bachelor of Arts Degree today! It was such a wonderful day to spend with family and I am so proud of my sweetheart. Way to go babe! You are AMAZING!!!

Surprise Surprise!

Last weekend I surprised Mark with a night's stay at the Zermatt Resort in Midway! It is amazing... we felt like royalty and like we stepped into the Swiss Alps for a minute. Thanks to his sweet sister we were able to enjoy a combined Graduation, Christmas, and Babymoon all in one! Thanks Jan... we had so much fun!

* One big problem... our batteries died in our camera, so sorry no pics to share...

Sleep Tight

Mark is amazing! Our crib showed up early one morning and within an hour of getting off work that night he had it all put together. He just couldn't wait! We are so excited to welcome our sweet little babe into our family and will keep you update on the progress of our nursery :)

Pumpkin Walk Project

Mark is AMAZING and a celebrity among my students. For one of his senior projects his class was in charge of getting the community more involved with Homecoming week. Our class had the opportunity to participate in the Pumpkin Walk (thanks to Mark) and we painted 11 red pumpkins (Fresno's football team) and 11 blue pumpkins (USU's football team), along with three refs and three coaches.

Big Blue, the USU cheerleaders, and some USU athletes came to our class and helped the students paint the pumpkins. It was honestly the best day of their lives and they had so much fun! Big Blue and the cheerleaders led my class in some cheers and we had one for them as well. Thanks Mark for making third grade the best year ever for these kids. You are the GREATEST!

The BIG NEWS!!

Surprise! We are having a BOY!!!! We are so excited we can't stop smiling!! We had our appointment at 4:00 pm today and everything looks great! There is no doubt that our little babe is a boy... we got a real good shot :)

After our appointment we celebrated with dinner at Chili's and bought "Little Junior" his first set of onesies and the softest blanket in the world! We just can't wait to meet this little man in March!

I have no idea!

Tomorrow is the big day! We are so excited to find out what we are having. I must be a little out of touch, because I really have no idea what our bun in the oven might be. I need to work on that mother's intuition thing...

I just have to say that Mark is going to be the best dad ever! I am so excited to meet our little babe in March and see Mark as a daddy... he is amazing!

Check back with us tomorrow for the big announcement!

Rockin out to Yellowcard!

Our little babe attended his/her first concert! We went to the Yellowcard concert at Romney Stadium a few weeks ago and it rocked!
