Truett Arriveth

Now that we can see straight (decent sleep last night!), we'd like to send you all the link to some of Truett's first pictures.  Enjoy!




Here's a slideshow put to music ("Tru Dog")!

Baby Stuff

We are counting down the days until Truett Austin gets here!  Only 10 more to go until his due date.  Will he be early?!  (I'm guessing not...)

I thought I'd use this spare moment to catch up on the blog.  My mom came last week to help me clean the house.  She was a HUGE, HUGE help!  Not only did she help me clean every day, she also cooked amazing meals every night with enough leftover we don't have to cook at ALL this week!  Woo hoo!  She also weathered two trips to the doctor and one short stint in the hospital while they ran some tests on me (all is FINE!).  I have so say, I am soooooooooooo glad she ended up leaving her job at Praters when she did.  Having her available right now is the most amazing thing after her being tied to that job 60+ hours a week, including weekends, for the last few years.

Here is a picture Jason MADE me stand still for.  This was day 1 of the 38th week.

Here are some pics of the nursery.  I didn't have the energy to move the stroller out of the way. :)  It involves bending over.

Should I point out Jason arranged the books on the top shelf in a "V" with the spines at the edge?  Jeremiah must see this!

My fabulous friends Julie, Christle, Bobbie, and Natalie hosted a lovely baby shower for me this past weekend!

Maddie helped me open presents. :)

So many sweet baby things!

The resident expert telling me: "You'll need THOSE!" :)

Darsey, Bobbie, Mandi, and Greta in the TV!  Look at the awesome diaper cake Bobbie made!

Julie telling Maddie's birth story.  We were rolling on the floor.  Yes, Julie - if only they'd give the Stadol to the Dads.  :)  And there is Natalie looking fabulous after giving birth to Ethan only 1 MONTH ago!

Amazing food!!!

Chocolate airplanes Julie made

Mom and me :)
