We hang this on our nursery door now. It will be a good reminder for others to pipe down. When you find out you are having a little girl, its something you just have to have.

How Bout Them Raiders?!

Yesterday Texas Tech came back from 31 down in the 3rd quarter to win. You can see it here. The game was on the NFL network, the jerks, so we had to watch on the internet. Basically a red arrow moving down the field. Not ideal way to watch but I was excited none the less. Toward the end of the game Charissa got tired and started getting ready for bed. I brought the laptop, on wireless, to the bed and we watched there together. I was so excited took forever for me to fall asleep. I love our school. Bob Knight will be winningest coach in men's basketball, football team beat A&M, and then had biggest comeback in bowl history. Great year. GO TECH.






oh yea, Charissa and the baby are fine.

Really liked the quotes here and know they represent our mother to be.

7 Weeks Left

We're just chillin til she comes....

*************************************************************************

This week has been amazing for Charissa. She is a shop-a-holic. Christmas night I saw her putting out what she was going to wear the next morning. I asked her why. She told me very clearly, "When it comes to day after Christmas shopping, I don't play". And she didn't. She got her pregnant butt up at 7AM and left to go shopping. Came home at 1 or so in the afternoon. We drove back to our house (hour and a half drive mind you). Hit the stores AGAIN at 4 PM. Were out together until 7. Then at 10 the next morning went back out to the stores. Came home for lunch with me then out AGAIN to the stores. I have called several government help lines but all they give is sympathy. For being 8 months pregnant the girl can still move around.

Below is a picture of a dress my sister got for our baby girl. Our baby got lots of presents but thought I would show one of them here.

Your Baby's Development

In these last few weeks before delivery, the billions of developed neurons in your baby's brain are helping her to learn about the in-utero environment — your baby can listen, feel, and even see somewhat. Your baby’s eyes can detect light and the pupils can constrict and dilate in response to light. Like a newborn, your baby sleeps much of the time and even experiences the rapid eye movement (REM) stage, the sleep stage during which our most vivid dreams occur!

Your baby's lungs are almost completely matured. Fat will continue to be deposited on your baby's body for protection and warmth. Babies gain a good deal of their weight in the final few weeks before birth.

Merry Christmas

Our Christmas Pics

The above link are pictures of our Christmas at my parents.

We got lots of great gifts and was surprised to see about much our little girl made off with. And she hasn't been born yet! We had a wonderful time with my parents. It was a holiday to remember.

8 Weeks to Go

Below are some pictures of Charissa. She is looking better and better everyday.

Your baby sleeps approximately 90 to 95 percent of the day now. Her skin has become thicker and she continues to gain more of a pinkish color. Your baby's movements will peak this week. Most of the wrinkles are disappearing from your baby's face, and there may be a lot of hair on her head. The weight gain has been fairly incredible recently. Your baby is now almost 4 pounds and is 17 inches long. The final touches are being placed on your baby masterpiece. Eyelashes, eyebrows, and the hair on your baby's head are evident. All five senses are functional. The toenails are completely formed.
