He's Here!!!

Luke Aden Boone

Born January 23rd, 2008 @ 9:10am

9 pounds 20 1/2 inches long

Still holding on

Nothing new today really. I have waited a little while to post because deep down I thought today would be the day. I even shaved my legs last night just in case. I do feel him moving a lot towards the bottom and this morning I had a little cramps but nothing much. I do have more energy today and it doesn't hurt as bad to bend down like it usually does. Josh is predicting a 9lb 8oz baby being born tomorrow. I am hoping for a 8lb 2oz baby being born soon. What do yall think. The one that comes closest gets the baby named after them!!!! NOT. :)

Still Here

I am so glad that nothing happened last night. I told Josh and he agreed that I was going to take it easy all day yesterday because I didn't want to travel in the bad weather. I guess it worked. I feel about the same but today he has been moving a lot. It is like he is feeling for his way out at times. I just hope he comes out the right end because where he is pushing at right now is not a good place to exit for a baby. :)

Walker enjoyed the snow so much yesterday that he got so mad when I brought him in to warm up. It started snowing when he was down for his nap and I debated on waking him but I let him sleep. When he did decide to get up I opened his blinds and said look it's snowing Walker. He ran over to the window and started yelling "snowing" but it sounded like "noing". We got all bundled up and went outside for a few minutes and had to come in because he kept falling. Josh got home early and we all went out to play. I taught Walker how to throw a snowball at daddy which Walker thought was funny. After we all froze in the snow we came in and Josh and Walker made a fire so we could warm up. I think that was cuter watching Walker help his daddy make a fire then playing in the snow with him. When Josh is home Walker his defiantly his daddy's shadow. I can't wait to see Aden join in on the fun. It will be the opposite from mother goose, it will be daddy goose and his two goslings.

Nothing!!!!

Everything is the same here on the baby wait game. I am not in a huge hurry for him to come but I do hope it is at a good time. I fear that I will have to rush out of here while Walker is sleeping and can't tell him bye or my water will break when I'm by myself with him and have to wait on someone to pick us up. I will have to hide my pain so he doesn't get scared. The doctors office called last night to tell me that I have an appointment for January 30th to be induced if the baby doesn't come before then. My answer back was "Do what? You mean I have to wait that long?" Her answer was "I'm afraid so." See was very nice and we talked for a little awhile and she seemed to think that with me being 3cm I should go sometime this week. Only two people know right now and that is God and baby Aden. Lets just hope they are not planning tonight in the snow.

And wait

Last night I went through the oh my goodness we are really having another baby phase. It is still hard to believe that we could have two kids by this time next week. So I really started picking up the house and I am obsessed with having the kitchen clean for some reason. The living room looks a mess and our bedroom looks worse but I'm staying in the kitchen scrubbing things I know Aden will never see. As of how I feel now - good. Last night I slept good and I had a little cramping but nothing to go ouch about. At this point I think the little man likes where he is and not planning on moving out anytime soon. Meanwhile Walker is such a great kid. He is so sweet(most of the times) and smart that he surprises me more and more everyday. He knows about his brother and when I ask him where baby Aden is, he comes over to my belly and kisses it and says Aden. I can't wait to see them together.

Still Waiting

Okay I went to my 39th and some odd day visit and oh my I forgot how painfull that exam was. Luckly my friend Jennifer called and made me feel so much better. I almost screamed it hurt that bad as a matter of fact I did cry all the way home. We(Jennifer and I)think it was because how far along I was, the fact that it was my second time meeting the man doctor and I was a little(ALOT) nervous. I liked being pregnant the first time way more than this time. But the doctor did say that I was a little over 3cm and was doing great not to be in any pain. So I guess everything is moving right along and maybe I will have a new picture to post soon.

Another thing I was going to address was what people could get us. We keep being asked if we need anything and the answer is I don't know. I am waiting to see the size of him to see what all he will be able to fit into. The thing I know that we will need is food. If anyone wants to bring buy a dish or two I will not turn it down. That is what helped us so much with Walker because my mom would bring something almost everyday but now she has to help my grandmother which doesn't leave her a lot of time for cooking. I do appreciate all the concerns and prayers everyone has for us and I will keep you updated I guess everyday until the baby comes.

P.S. I have changed my comment section that anyone can leave a comment. You no longer have to have a Google account.

Waiting

I don't have any new pictures - sorry. I am just posting to say how I feel so far - great. These past two week I have felt for the most part great which is so weird because I thought I was having him Christmas with the way I felt. I am thinking it was because lack of sleep and rest. We were going going and going. I am still nervous about the birth and a little sad that I will have to split my time with Walker up but what can you do. Trying to get a house ready for the second child is about impossible. Just when you have one part cleaned you look behind you and he has destroyed another room. Oh well, I think Aden will survive in this house, me maybe not. It just hit me that I will soon be in a house of boys only. AHHHHH!

Stone Mountain

Walker and I got to go to Stone Mountain twice this year! Once with my mom on a Saturday, which I will never do again.(either will she) and once with the Boones(and Price family)on a weekday, which I will do again next year. With mom it was so crowded that you had to wait in line for about an hour for everything, even food. When we went during the week you walked right in on everything. NO LINES!!!

Story telling with Mrs. Clause
Cookie making with the cousins. It was funny because Walker usually stays with me but he saw kids making cookie, wanted down, and ran over to the table. It wasn't hard talking Kathryn and Charles into making cookies.
This was the last thing we did and you can tell from the little ones faces. They had a Christmas laser show with fireworks at the end.
This is a better picture of Walker with Santa but now he is not so sure about the elf.
And you wonder where Walker gets his hair color from. His daddy but mostly from his aunt Jenn.

December odds and ends

Beth picked Walker and I up to meet Jenn, Charles, and Kathryn so Kathryn and Walker could ride the Pink pig for the first time.

It is nothing like it was when I was a kid but they loved it anyways.
Cookie Monster
I don't know who had more fun Josh or Walker. Every time we looked at Walker he was shoving more cookie dough in his mouth.When Walker had enough Josh stayed in the kitchen decorating all the cookies. What a team.

Christmas

Santa came!

He brought Elmo slippers, Elmo workbench, riding zebra, and a bunch of things in Walker's stocking.

Mommy and Daddy got Walker a Elmo garage, a loud small car, and a push Thomas train that makes noises.

Everything makes noises!!!!

Daddy and Walker Christmas morning

Walker loved his slippers almost as much as the workbench.

We were so happy that Walker loves this. He ran straight over to it and started bouncing up and down on it.

I thought at one point that we didn't Walker a lot but after making our rounds that kid racked up. There is one present missing that wouldn't fit and it is a house that Grandaddy and Grandmama got him.(It goes outside) I can't image next year with two little ones.
