More Shower Pictures!!

My Grandpa got to meet Marisa Maez.  She is a news anchor in New Mexico and a friend of ours. He could not have been more excited.  

THE SHOWER

We flew Alicia in this weekend to attend the baby shower.  Wow what an amazing day it was.  We are so lucky to be surrounded with all this love.  We can't thank you all enough for sharing this amazing journey with us.

The Room...

Joey has been working so hard on getting the room ready for its new tenant.

As you can see we also received a box of surprises from Keri and Matt all the way from Illinois. Thank you both for all the wonderful gifts.  We feel so lucky to have so much wonderful support through this journey.

I really can't wait to put the shark towel on him.

HOW LUCKY WE ARE!

We want to thank Jennifer and Billy for the amazing gift they brought to us this past weekend. How lucky are we to live next door to such amazing and generous people.

Thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts!

As you can see things are moving along very fast!!!!! Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

The room transformation has begun.

Joey is adding clay to the walls, and I put the crib together.

We are so lucky that my grandparents bought the crib and mattress for us.  What an amazing surprise that was.

As you can see the snow was pretty deep...Johnny was behind a white mountain of snow as Frida bravely watch out for dangers in the forest.  Not to protect me but to run away and leave me for dead if it came down to it!

Johnny was feeding a male buck on the front deck of the cabin, talk about brave and tame.

Joey went for a walk one afternoon and was able to take some beautiful pictures of the Brazos Cliffs covered in white.  The cliffs are just a short walk from the cabin and in the spring for about one week they release their snow pack with a breathtaking waterfall.  It truly is a wonderful place and we enjoy spending time there.
