Still waiting...

I know, I know...I haven't done a good job of updating you all this week. I was hoping I'd finally have something to update you on. But, not much has changed since our last baby update. We went to the doctor on Monday and there weren't any changes to report and the week has been fairly uneventful as far as contractions go. That being said, last night I did have a lot of "tightening" in my lower abdomen, but it never progressed into much of anything. We're hoping that means it won't be long now though! We're ready to meet our little boy!!! We have another doctor's appointment on Monday so, I'll do better about keeping everyone informed, change or no change.

I'd like to say a Happy Anniversary to B-man! Our five year anniversary was yesterday. We watched our wedding video last night and commented on how perfect the day was, despite all of the changes we had to make because of B-man's impending deployment. Thanks to our friends and family who adjusted plans and made the day possible. As we watched the video, we smiled, laughed, and of course I cried. I just love watching it! I can't believe it was five years ago and now we're waiting on our son's arrival. B-man was even gracious enough to dance with me to our wedding song (as I wore my pink fluffy slippers and pajamas...what a difference 5 years makes-hehehe!). Thanks Hon!
If you'd like to listen to our song, here it is.
Clint Black's, Something That We Do.

The Happy Couple!
Hope you have a great weekend!!

Puppy Time

BeBe took the puppies' "one week" photos yesterday. Here are a few...

Puppy pile.


Love that face!


Proud mama! She's already lost all of that baby weight too!

Photo updates

Thanks to all for the compliments on G's room. We're very pleased with the final results. I apologize for being out of the "blog loop" this week. I have been sick but am feeling MUCH MUCH better this morning. I was going to post my 36 week (9mos) picture when I posted the video of Bella and her pups, but I had such a hard time getting the video to show up that by the time I got the video up and running, the picture was just too much for this patient Mom-to-be to handle! hehe! (Elena, that's where you caught me last week--mid posting). And then I was sick...blah, blah, blah.
Ok, enough excuses, here it is...

9 months prego! What a difference a couple of months (and a few doughnuts) make!
I'm also including some photos of the pups back home. I'm sad to report that the little runt of the litter didn't make it. All too common in the animal world. So, now there are 10. The pups and Mom had their first visit to the vet and they all are doing well. BeBe tells me how great Bella is at being a Mom...I hope I'm as good as she is at handling the pressures of motherhood! :)




Thanks to B-man for taking care of me yet again! Not only did he have a pregnant lady or a sick lady to take care of this week, but a pregnant and sick lady. What a trooper. Thanks Hon! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Eleven!

The puppies are here! Bella gave birth to 11! black lab pups!
There are 7 girls and 4 boys. Mom and pups are doing well. Mom is exhausted though.
Love those puppy grunts...

Have a good day!

Ready and Waiting!

We're finally finished with Lil Boo's room and we wanted to share some pictures with you. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to BeBe (my Mom) for making these awesome curtains! They really bring the room together.

Already pulling for the Tigers and the Razorbacks (on top of the bookshelf)!

Rachel gave us the great idea to put photos up of our families so we can show and tell G-Boo about his family that loves him so much.


All we need now is a cuddly little boy!!! Can't wait!

Headed in the Right Direction

We had our 35 week checkup today. The only news to report is that G-Boo is head down...for now anyway. So far, there has been no progress in the dilation or effacement process. It's hard to believe we only have 5 weeks left now. It sounds even closer when we say, "only 35 days left"! We can't wait to meet our little guy, but are happy that he's staying put in the best place he can be...for now anyway. Ask me in a couple of weeks and I might have a different opinion ;)! We go back to the doctor in 2 weeks and then we'll go once/week until he's born.

Not much else to report from Fayetteville. B-man is back in school and is busy trying to get as many assignments done as possible before G-Boo's arrival. I've been busy reading books about everything baby (sleeping, feeding, etc). I've decided to finish the book I'm reading now and then take a break and maybe read something non baby related. Something mindless and fun. We've also been putting together the final touches for the nursery (just waiting on some pictures to come in mail). We'll post pics as soon as we finish.

Oh yeah, there is news of another prego from the Fulmer household. My parents' dog Bella is prego too! She is due anytime after this Saturday. Only 60 days of gestation for her. My Mom said she saw a little puppy move across Bella's belly yesterday. I'll keep you posted on her progress too. Love puppies!

Miss Bella

That's all for now. Hope you all are well!
