Updates...

There is a bunch of news from this past week. I was off on Thursday and Friday so we were able to get a ton of things done. I put together all of the things that we got from last weekends baby shower. If you come into our house you would think that we already have a baby here. There is a swing and a pack-n-play in the living room, a high chair and a stroller in the dinning room and we also installed the base for the car seat in Christina's new car.

Friday we met up with Christina's Mom for lunch and an all day work day. First, we went shopping at the Carter's outlet. Next, we came home and sorted all of the clothes and started washing them. Then, we went to Lowe's and Targets to get some other thing that we "needed". She decided that a new washer and dryer were needed since they have a kid care setting. Finally we picked up some last minute things at Target.

We also feel like the baby has "dropped". This is when he starts getting into position for birth. We also made a pregnancy cast to kinda remember what Christina looked like while she was pregnant. We thought it was pretty fun. Now, Christina wants to just hide it. She not a big fan of it. But, I think that its pretty neat.

We have a doctors appointment tomorrow and we will find out if she has started to dilate. This will give us an idea of when he might come. But, as of right now they still say that they are not going to change or due date. Thats all I have for tonight, I'll post once we know whats up with the kid.

34 Week Picture update

Here are the pictures of Christina she is at 34 weeks. Just 6 to go!!!!!!!! She feel like there is no room for anything else. She has definitely gotten to the uncomfortable stage. We hope that he might come a little early.

Baby Got a New Car

Baby Holder just got a new car. Christina and I purchased a new Chevy Malibu this past week. Christina absolutely loves it. She has never had a 'new' car and now she finally does. We decided that her car was not the best for a brand new baby so we decided that it was time to get a new car. Now seemed to be the best time since she is 33 weeks pregnant. We didn't want to get to close to due date and then be stuck. It been rainy for the past few days other wise I would put some pictures up. This week should be nice so I will try to get some pic of the new car up. I will also try to get an updated picture of the mommy up as well. She doesn't enjoy having her picture made right now, but I'll see what I can do!!

Birth 101

Well we went to our first birth class on Monday night. It was pretty informative. We learned how to figure out if we are in labor and we also learned how to count out when Christina is having a contraction. We weren't very good at it, Christina just kept laughing at me. I was concentrating on my fingers while I was counting to much for her. She told me that I needed to concentrate on her not my fingers. I was somewhat of a class clown, we had to introduce ourselves and say what we wanted to learn in the class. My response was that I wanted to learn how not to get yelled at in the delivery room. We were also told to start making a plan for what we want to happen that day, so just to let you all know when its time to get out I'm going to tell you to get out. Don't take it personal we just want things to go as smooth as possible. I will be the one that tells everyone what is going on and sometimes I have a hard time being really nice when I'm stressed so again, don't take it personal.

Nursery Update

Here are the latest pictures of the nursery. Things are coming along pretty well, I just have to finish the bench and we should be ready.

Yes I'm reading the instructions!!

29 Week Ultrasound Pictures

Here are the newest pictures of the baby. We were able to see him in the 3-D ultrasound. We also found out that the placenta has moved out of the way and thats a good thing. I'm not to sure what that does but if its in the way it can cause severe amounts of bleeding, so I'm told. The kid is also 5 days ahead of schedule in his growth. They say that it is not going to move up the due date but I think that he may come a little early. I will get pictures of the nursery up later this week. I know that everyone wants pictures of Christina and I will see what I can do.

He has a name

Well, we have come to a consensus on a name. It has only taken us about 4 months to find something that we both liked. If Christina liked the name I would have an issue with it and vise versa. We have finally come together and decided on a name. We are going to name him Lucas Everett Holder. We are planning on calling him Luke. We hope that everyone likes it and if you don't, o well its not your kid!!!
