Carson's First Cinnamon Roll

Carson had his first cinnamon roll recently. It's all because Momma loves sweets right now. Here are some pictures of him digging in and experiencing the delicious-ness of cinnamon and icing - slurrrp!

Mmmmm!

Finger lickin' good!

Delicious!

22 Weeks, 3 Days Pics

Carson is so funny. I asked Chad to snap a quick belly pic before we ran some errands Saturday. I have been so bad about keeping up with weekly pictures this time. I have got to get better. Anyway, I grabbed the camera and Carson kept saying, "Momma! Cheese!" So, he put his "Cars" sunglasses on and hopped in the picture with me. He cracks me up!

I am one cool big brother....

Tee hee! Momma's belly is getting BIG! She's gained about 7 pounds now! She weighs just about what she weighed with me at this time, and is just about the same size.

Love to all!

Cade's Nursery Is Coming Along!

Here's a look at a few things in Cade's bathroom...
He's got a dino toothbrush holder and soap dispenser!

And of course a dino bathrug!

The furniture arrived today! Here's a look at the crib, rocker, and awesome 2 and a half foot T-Rex!

Here's the changing table - we need to get a lamp - I haven't had a chance to do that yet...

Here's the chest of drawers - I need another lamp here as well....

Close-up shot of the crib...

I think it all came out really cute! We're very happy with the finished product! Now we just need a healthy baby Cade to show it to!

Love to all!

Cade Allen Update

Well, Cade is growing like a weed. I've gained about 5 lbs now and am feeling well. I can feel him moving around all the time - he's very active. We got to see him on Wednesday at Dr. Putterman's office. Everything looks good. He's measuring right on for May 26th. Right now he weighs 12oz and Dr. Putterman estimates he would weigh around 6 and a half pounds if I went full term. However, I broke my tailbone with Carson and his clavicle. We don't want that to happen again, so we will more than likely induce mid May. I was glad to hear this - anything we can do to avoid that again will be greatly appreciated!

Here are two pictures of Cade. The first one (below) is probably hard to see what's what, so I'll explain as best as I can. He is lying on his side. His face is to the right of the picture. His eyes are in the dark area, his nose is the first thing you see on the right side, and his mouth, just under that, is open. He's got his hand up by his face. I hope that helps you see it!

This is Cade's legs spread apart. The thing on the left is his left leg and right in the middle of the screen is his boy part. :)

My fibroid tumor hasn't grown too much and isn't in our way right now. Let's hope it stays that way so I can have him naturally. So far, so good with everything. Of course, Dr. Putterman has asked me to do my best to remain stress free (yeah right), eat more, and rest when I can. I'll do my best!!!

I'll take a new belly pic soon and post it. Love to all!

The Dinosaurs Are Complete!

After working on them all day long (literally 6 hours), the dinosaurs are finally painted and complete! We got the bedding yesterday, so we were off to Sherwin Williams first thing this morning to match the colors. I think they turned out really great! The T-Rex took 6 coats! Whew! The Stegosaurus still probably needs one more coat and the Pteranodon is still drying. But - they're up!


The furniture is in, but they have not called to schedule delivery yet. We were really hoping they would do so by Saturday so we could get it this weekend and get it all set up. But...nope. Hopefully it will be here by next week.


I have washed all of Carson's hand-me-downs and they are just waiting to be put away once we get the furniture. I need drawers!!! We bought some shelving from Container Store to hold shoes and simple items, and they are already full. Carson had a ton of stuff!!!

Hope everyone is well!
